Me personally, if I think there are more fish in a tree after I catch, I’ll beat if for another 15 minutes or so. Usually switch colors or profile completely until I catch more or move on.

I've heard that as well. Even had a buddy that has a LS tell me that sometimes when he's catching fish off a submerged standing tree that the rest of the fish will move to the other side of the tree after one has been caught out of the school. And he's also observed the whole bunch of them just simply swimming off if his boat gets too close. And like you say, sometimes that happens when the boat is 20ft (or more) away from them. Without Livescope, most of us would have thought that there was only the one or two fish we caught that was on that cover and we'd just move on to another target.

And like has been said many times before, just because you can see them on the screen doesn't mean you can catch them (or make them bite) ... that same buddy saw a school of nearly 100 fish and yet could only get 3 of them to bite, even after changing sizes, shapes, colors, and even having his partner drop a minner into them.
