How far can Livescope show fish?

**Roy** · 07-08-2019, 07:18 PM

How far of a distance can Livescope show fish? Well I did a little test today on the water and I'm impressed. Here's the setup, there's a large dock that I know of that generally holds crappie year round, so while I was out with the family today I decided to try a little test. At about 90 feet you can see the top edge of the floating dock, from there out to about 140 feet you start to see the fish that are suspended way under the dock. As I move in closer in the following pictures you start to see the fish more clearly. Also if you look in the 22 to 26 foot depth range you can see the theromocline.

looks like you have got the hang of that Livescope, great pics.

LOL, I didn't even try to catch any of them today, I was out with the family for a swim fun day. But I have caught some nice ones there, they hang out there almost year round.

Awesome. TY. Wasn't sure if thermocline would show. Or if it is still as important in determining where to fish

How shallow can it get out showing fish how far out?

Good question, I'm not really sure. It will be several months before the water cools down enough for me to do a shallow water distance test. I do remember this spring being back in the creeks and spotting fish 60 to 80 feet away in water less than 10 feet so I think the results could be similar.
