I hate livescope

[Curlytail]

Sorry, but it just doesn't seem like fishing to me. I know I'm old school. Don't have a livescope. I'm not sure I will have.

Well I never have understood the fascination with watching a screen when you go fishing. It just isn't what fishing is about to me. I'll find my fish by casting for them. Or I won't. But that's OK too. I'm out on the water and relaxing. I am sure most of you catch more fish than me. But I enjoy it just as much without any electronics.

I love it myself. Not only is it educational as far as the fish it’s a huge time saver. Instant feedback to change color, bait, profile, presentation or just move on. You do lose some of the surprise element of a fish biting but you can always look away once you’ve located them which I do many times. When I’m fishing in heavy brush I’m typically not looking at the screen, it gets too busy. I’ve also caught many in open water that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

"Time saver"????? What's your hurry? Enjoy your time on the water. Use as much time as you can, not as little.

I do enjoy my time but I’m only able to go about 5 hrs one day a week. I like to try catching and not just fishing. Even if I don’t catch any though I thoroughly enjoy my time away in peace and outdoors.

I use LS for verification only. Locate fish(dock or brush) then point LS at target for distance & depth. Stop Transmission on LS and fish..

This is exactly how I use my unit. I find a school of fish with livescope and I then cast to them. I can't look at a screen all day chasing single fish. I check to see if they are on a dock, bridge piling. brushpile are timber and then start pitching to them. I will look at my livescope to confirm distance and depth of target but that is it.

I enjoyed my side image when I had it and I’ll have another one of those. I’m probably in the minority but I don’t think I’m going to buy into this one. I’ve learned to crappie fish by finding them and over the years I’ve taken pride I. Figuring them out and getting those I could to bite. I never catch em all, sometimes I get less than Slab. I’m also a proponent of just being there, fish or no fish. I have lots of memories of good days catching fish but just as many of a sunrise or bioluminescence or the huge fish that came and looked at my bait and swam away, me almost screaming with excitement. I don’t need a screen for any of that. I hope those of you that have it enjoy it and have fun chasing fish.

Same as above! for the most part I use it as a tool not a tv to set and watch! Sometime I never turn it on ! Sometimes I never turn it off
I could care less if I’ve pulled another crank bait or another jig! Prolly will sell all that stuff one these days I have learned so much about fish with it in the short year that I’ve used it ! I have seen times where I couldn’t catch fish with it but way more times have I caught fish with it than with out it! Never thought I’d have it but now that I have it I’ll never be without it just in case I want to turn it on and use it it will be their .

I agree. Some of us go fishing not to load the cooler, but for a peace of mind. I enjoy my time on the water. I catch my share just fine, plenty in the freezer. Not going to stare at a screen.
