Crappie size on livescope

[Wade2131]

Is there a good way to distinguish “size” so of the fish on livescope? Most are small yellow bass and small crappie. Just trying to be able to distinguish between small fish other than wasting time catching them.

You can make them look bigger by shortening the range, won't be bigger but look good. IMHO it's all about practice. Scott

We judge by size by comparing bait on the screen . Helps if you run out only 30'. W try to run depth just a bit deeper that water . You have both set too far IMO.

as a fella with not much time on LS , I find it somewhat confusing when the fish down below are all the same size , but as stated , if the jig appears big on the screen in comparison to the fish on the screen , wasting time for sure

Those grids are 2' across. If a fish seems to go half way across the grid, it's a good fish.

Keeping in mind, that a fish turned side ways to the beam looks completely different than if he is looking at or away from you, sometimes the image will fool you beacuse he's doing just that. Scott

I usually fish at 15 feet when possible at 30 feet forward range if making short pitches or vertical jigging. I agree with what was said about smaller fish being the same size as the jig head is usually right but it does make a difference sometimes on how the sonar hits them too. The more experience you get with it the more you'll have an idea of size.

I scan at 60-100 feet depending on Sat I’m looking for. I fish 30-40 feet on depth every time you change the depth you change the perspective of the size of the fish. I think that’s the right word. I usually leave mine at 20’. Winter here in E Tx I’ll have it set at 30’ at Fork. You set it too shallow and everything looks good. Nothing on your pic excites me
