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.
It does show you fish behavior you never had a clue about.
How did you like the LS?
I have been of the opinion for along time that I did not want one. Been crappie fishing for 55 years or so and fished many different methods and even got burned out on it for several years. Since retiring in 2018 I decided to get back to it somewhat.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:
