LiveScope... I was over a submerged tree the other day I know was loaded with fish. Couldn't even get a nibble. I would have liked to have had livescope then to see how the fish were reacting in real time to my jig. I have such conflicting thoughts about livescope... After seeing it in person and fished with it, I can definitely see the appeal. As of right now, I really enjoy my minimalist approach to crappie fishing. To each his own. I may eventually get so frustrated with not catching fish that I give up and get a livescope.

I suppose my hang up is my uncle. He is my fishing mentor or whatever. He is the barometer (for me) of what a crappie fisherman is. Small boat. Outboard motor. No trolling motor. No electronics. And the guy can pull crappie. It's really something to watch.
