How far can Livescope show fish?

How far of a distance can Livescope show fish? Well I did a little test today on the water and I'm impressed. Here's the setup, there's a large dock that I know of that generally holds crappie year round, so while I was out with the family today I decided to try a little test. At about 90 feet you can see the top edge of the floating dock, from there out to about 140 feet you start to see the fish that are suspended way under the dock. As I move in closer in the following pictures you start to see the fish more clearly. Also if you look in the 22 to 26 foot depth range you can see the theromocline.

Great pics. How many did you catch?

looks like you have got the hang of that Livescope, great pics.

LOL, I didn't even try to catch any of them today, I was out with the family for a swim fun day. But I have caught some nice ones there, they hang out there almost year round.

Awesome. TY. Wasn't sure if thermocline would show. Or if it is still as important in determining where to fish

How shallow can it get out showing fish how far out?

Good question, I'm not really sure. It will be several months before the water cools down enough for me to do a shallow water distance test. I do remember this spring being back in the creeks and spotting fish 60 to 80 feet away in water less than 10 feet so I think the results could be similar.

Great stuff

That’s interesting!!
Did you Livescope the family swimming to see what they looked like?

Do you change any settings such as gain or others, when shooting out that far.

I still have a PS21 and use that transducer for long range so I have not tried the Livescope out that far very often.

MikeF, no I very seldom make too many changes to gain, mainly only when I change color pallets. Most days I mainly change distance and sometimes depth.

Thanks

Is that a floating dock? I don't see any vertical pillars under it so I assumed it must be floating but were there no posts to hold it in place?
This is on my bucket list so I'm trying to glean as much knowledge as I can.
Great sequence of pictures and a very clear illustration of using the Livescope.

Interesting info. Nice pics. Love the green color!

Best price I've seen is $1995 for the 93 pkg with Livescope transducer.

for 2,000 US I could but a pretty decent boat :Rofl

Or kayak! :biggrin

I know. That's why I don't have one!

Yes it is a big floating dock. Yes the units and transducers are very expensive toys. Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I love just going out and playjng with the electronics on my boat. I really don't have any other expensive habits so to me it's worth the cost. :)

But no guarantee it would help. Better chance with Livescope.

Dawgg responds well to fried turkey legs!
