It's a nice piece of equipment, but seeing fish doesn't guarantee catching fish.
I know Garmin has purchased Navionics Co. I had not heard that Garmin has sold any of its proprietary live technology to Lowrance. Do you have any links or info confirming this. Also, I have not seen any video of the new Lowrance Live Sight. If you have any links that have video please post, would love to see it.
You go primarily by size first, then shape. The more you use it, the easier it becomes to determine what you are seeing. Fish act differently. Drum commonly move up and down standing timber, crappie almost always remain in a horizontal plane unless actively chasing bait. Catfish returns appear to be made of "disks" head to tail. Crappie and scaled fish returns often appear to be made of small circles. I believe it because of how the sonar reflects off the smooth skin and scaled skin. The more I use it, the more I am able discern what I am looking at. One of the neatest things is being able to discover what fish do. How they react to boats, movement in the boat by people, what they do when you snag a brush pile and shake it, how they react to schools of shad. Had a blue cat bust one of my crappies I was trying to catch the other day. I have watched a round school of shad get busted up by a crappie that peeled off a piece of standing timber, it blew up like a firework starburst in all directions. The crappie came back to the tree and I put a jig on his nose and caught him. Its kinda like having Nat Geo on a fish finder LOL
It was a mad house there at Bass Pro today... It got ugly at the Fish Graph counter.
Bass pro in Little Rock sold out of the 93 sv Garmins that were on sale in 18 minutes Friday. They are not available on line, just found out so sad!!
I heard the next version they're working on will actually be able to take your hook and place it in the fishes mouth!!!!
That's a fact. I've been on crappie like these all weekend and so far have only caught 6. Sometimes they'll swim up to your jig or minnow and just look at it and then swim off. Still pretty cool though.Attachment 331174
