I hate livescope

Yeah you can catch fish but all you do is stare at a screen the whole time!



I grew up working on computers. Those green screens in the early days. This reminds me exactly of my computer operator days. Not fun, too many flash backs. Maybe when the resolution on them dots I'm watching gets to maybe 4k it'll be more fun. Lol

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna tell this, but this past Saturday I tried it. I’ve had the equipment for months now, and just couldn’t make myself quit trolling long enough to try it. Saturday I said sink or swim, left all my crankbaits and linecounters at home. I mostly sank. Got it tuned in, can see my jig and fish well. Had at least 50 fish, who knows what kind, run up and look but no bite. Tried holding still, wiggling, taking it away, then dropping slow. Had one hookup but came unstuck before I saw the fish. Got dizzy, disoriented several times looking up after staring at the screen so long. Gonna try again and hopefully run into some cooperative fishies. Probably take some minnows next time. But not sure how serious I’m gonna get with it.

I struggle with it same as you guys. I am thinking about removing it completely….

Nice catches Slab.

I have considered it many times. Just can't bring myself to buy it. Last time put I never even looked at the graph other than the chart as a navigation aid.

Ive come to the realization lately, especially since getting Hbird lakemaster map chip - if had to give up sonar completely it wouldn’t be much of handicap. I look at it, but knowing where the drops and humps are is way more valuable to me.

No minners, use Slabsauce gewber. I'm telling you, it make the bites happen. Otherwise they just look at it. You neeeeed the sauce!!! Slabsauce on hair jigs is all I use. Pico bunny butts, or home made hair jigs buddies gimme.

Tried slab sauce, sparkle nibbles, about a dozen different types and colors of jig. Maybe just not in the right places. But Pickwick can get weird this time of year. I think some of the fishies may have been been big shad or skipjack. I was using a tungsten weight pegged a couple feet above with a small clear plastic sinker stop. A lot of them seemed a lot more interested in that than the jig!

I have it on the new boat. I turned it on and set everything then turned it off. I like my Panoptix transducer but I'm not using it either right now. More on Ross Barnett than here. I don't think a Human can pay complete attention to more than one Sense at a time. If you're staring at a screen you can't be 100% tuned in to feeling the jig pole aka Bite. Just my . I also think those who can tune in the Bite and tune out everything else catch more fish.

I dunno, Boss .... 10 times your normal catch limit sounds like Livescope is working for ya !!!
