Livescope update
After I have had my new boat for about 2 months now I am finally getting to where I can catch some fish with it, not anywhere close to a limit but catching some, finally starting to trust my electronics on my boat, still not real sure about side imaging. What it shows sometimes, and I mark the spot with a way mark, then go back and cannot find anything is pretty confusing in a way. Still searching with sidescan though and regular down scan. Still learning, I know it don’t come easy, slots of people think you can just install it and the fish come, not so easy.

superdave anything possible, but it looks like a tree to me on the screen, but I don’t really know.Originally Posted by SuperDave336

Forgot to mention 15-20 mph winds today, wind is not your friend when livescoping. But a little wind surely helps, keeps you off your spot by staying down wind.

When you mark a spot with side image then try to return to it . How is your map set ? My buddy would not zoom in and at 100' scale it is not going to work . I run a Humminbird set on split screen on maps . One side runs 100' scale and other side 10' scale .After I have had my new boat for about 2 months now I am finally getting to where I can catch some fish with it, not anywhere close to a limit but catching some, finally starting to trust my electronics on my boat, still not real sure about side imaging.

as mentioned above make sure you zoom all the way in when returning to a marked waypoint

I saw it on the screen set at 60 ft, then I paused the screen, touched it on the spot I wanted to mark, then marked it and used downscan to go back to it and saw nothing. Am I doing it wrong? If so please tell me. I want to learn this new setup.

Side imaging is on an angle so the way point will be off some compared to a straight down view. Lots of folks waypoint something on side image then go remark it on 2D because it's more accurate.

If you have Livescope ... use that to find your waypoint cover, rather than Downscan. That way you can sweep the whole area as you approach it.

I search with side imaging & mark waypoints from the console. Then i get on the bow & get close to the waypoint since my humminbirds are ethernetted & with the range at 50 feet on the bow unit & with the 30 foot circles around the waypoints i'll ease up to that particular waypoint looking for it on livescope. Very easy to find & also look for fish on them when easing up towards it.
