    Chris I have a question for you. Honestly is the live scope helping you put more fish in the boat in your opinion and do you believe it's worth the investment after using it for awhile?

    Thank you! I may take you up on that offer next year. I will have a scan in January to see how my war is going. My next chemo is Dec 27 if all blood work is good! Never quit never give up no matter what!

    It has been worth it Tim. And I do catch lots more fish. Especially when the fishing is tougher. The first day I had it I watched a fish peel off the standing Timber bust up a ball of shad and return to the timber. I dropped my jig on his nose and caught him immediately. I had been fishing that standing timber for about 5 minutes previously had caught one fish off it and got a few bites but was no longer able to get them to bite I was able to catch that fish because I saw what he did and I knew which specific fish to Target. It's added a whole other dimension to a day of fishing for me. I have as much fun watching the fish react to my jigs, to other fish, to Shad and to the boat. It's like having an underwater camera on the situation.

    Chris I appreciate you sharing your success with us. I know several people probably have them and are probably keeping the results to themselves.

    My wife surprised me with the Livescope and 93 SV+ for my Birthday a couple of months ago. As stated above, it can teach you a lot about the crappie's reaction to the baits. However, you still have to have the knowledge of where to find them. They're not on every tree or brushpile or point or rock. This does give you the advantage of knowing if they are there or not though.

    Also, I cannot tell if they are crappie or not. For example, I was fishing some stumps and seeing a few fish on them. I could not get them to bite. Finally I got one to thump it and it was a carp. Also, I worked on one for 10 minutes and it ended up being a small catfish. So you still have to know where they are at different times of year.

    I've used mine 5 or 6 times since I got it and i am getting better and I have always caught crappie with it.

    One of my main problems is I lose track of where I'm at with boat control because I'm always looking at the screen. It's real time video fishing and it definitely is not for everyone. Buddy of mine prefers to hold two rods and take off and watch the scenery. So last week I used livescope and found a few scattered and we both grabbed a couple of rods and caught fish but we really didn't use the livescope except to find the area and depth they were at. To me, this may be the best because you now they're there and you can fish more water.

    Remember Livescope only has a 20 degree cone so 20' in front of you you're only looking at 7 feet. Now you see everything in that cone but you're not looking at the entire creek channel, brushpile, rock pile, etc.

    Now with the wind, livescope can be tricky because it is difficult to keep the trolling motor aimed at the target. Normally, I can see the fish when in the wind and I just have to fish it without actually watching the fish on the screen.

    Hope this helps. For those that have the $ then it's a great tool. For those that have been crappie fishing all their lives and looking for something new to learn it's a good tool. For those that love to dunk minnows and watch corks and know where the crappies at.....may not be for you.
