Held off as long as I could stand.....

I’m the guy who sets back and studies the latest/greatest technology and let everybody else work the bugs out.

I’m a Humminbird-till-I-die guy. I don’t need 10,000 bells and whistles. I want it simple to operate and reliable. I want to turn it on and go fishing.

After a season of fishing 3 crappie tournament trails and being happy with our success, I found out that to have any chance of competing, I had to get a Garmin Livescope. When Humminbird gets a similar technology, I’ll be all over it. The new Mega 360 is going to be a game-changer much like Side Scan was. I have mine lined up as soon as they release them. Until then, I had to bite the bullet.

With Rickie’s help, his Podunk Ideas daDucer bracket, Cornfield Crappie Gear’s double mount, and a lot of hard work, I’ll soon join the ranks. Watch out!! Finished pics to follow. Attachment 361165

That will work

I love my HB too....I bought a garmin 93sv the other day and will also bite the bullet for livescope....
Unless HB new mega 360 is all that, I still cant see it competing.. Sidescan is great so unless the 360 has a 200ft range /diameter or better.. can't see it being all that great

Make sure you use good wire and have lots of battery. You will not regret

That setup is worth more than my whole boat! Sweet to have the best. Good luck!

Congrats, hope it serves you well and many fish are caught with it!

I think that there should be new rule implemented. Those with Live Scope must display a special flag. Then...
those of us who don't have it will know which boats to follow. What do ya think? [emoji846]

I love my Birds but I love my Livescope even more! Together they made a deadly combination for me. Humminbird to find them, Livescope to fish them. Looking forward to seeing what you think. The Echomap Ultra with that 12" screen is really nice. Simple to operate as well. Will be interesting to hear what you think of the new HB Mega 360 as compared to the Garmin Livescope.

I think it will be like a lot of the modern electronics. Garmin will be better at some tasks while HB will be better at others. The only, but expensive, way to know is to have both on board.

I am looking forward to the inevitable comparisons from those who have both. My question is are they going to interfere with each other. Time will tell.

It’s amazing how we ever caught a fish without this thing.

Silverside, I'm with you fly the Jolly Roger if you have live scope:Rofl

It’s pretty hard to hide a blue and silver 23 foot center console but I’m used to being followed anyway. Part of the game.

That is true, caught many fish without them.

Roger that, with an addition made off on one side for all the extra gear.

I saw a write up by a pro that said it was worth 3 times what they charge for it :yikes
congrats on your new toy sir . :highfive

Small things matter and I think you will be amazed the first time you roll up to one of your brushpiles and realize your prize is feeding on a particular side of that brush that you never would have known without LS. You previously may have accidentally fished on that side and it also may have taken you some time to fish all parts until your first bite. With LS you know right away if there are fish there and exactly where.

I initally bought the 93+sv to use with my livescope. Just upgraded that to the Echomap Ultra 12" unit. It was an expensive upgrade but well worth it. It's amazing how much better the display is on the Ultra 12.

I stay a GENERATION behind because I AM a generation behind.:yikes Take me riding some day maybe.

I’m going to make that happen Tom. It would be an honor on level with having BillBob in my boat at Enid.

You'll love it. I honestly don't know why you'd want H'bird 360 Mega when you have the LS. Anything the 360 Mega will do, the LS will do 100X better.
