Thread: Got a few today

Went today to my local lake and fished with my new livescope setup. Cold, windy and snow on the ground, but had to get out and try it out. About 23 degrees when we left for the lake, water temp at 41. Fished with my buddy that knows more about it than me. We managed 8 keepers and several shorts.

Really interesting watching and learning this thing and some of the crappie behavior.

That is what I enjoy most about my Livescope. It can really educate us on the actions of our fish quarries. Also it quickly lets us know if we are wasting our time in dead water. I river fish alot so the Livescope has limitations but sometimes I will run across a slew of fish in a certain area that I would have missed before. Still doesn't make them bite but sure can grow the anticipation of a bite.

A friend got one and after studying it and talking to him I decided I might as well try it. I can see where it would be a valuable tool for a guide and seems to be a game changer and make a lot of people crappie catchers instead of just fishing.

I found it very interesting to see the crappie behavior in reaction to the different things and conditions. Dispelled some of my thoughts about their behavior. Of course this was just a first time trip.

Even when you find them you still can’t make them bite, so there will still be challenges.
