First thought was crappie. We couldn't get them to fire off

I'd think so too.
Them's fish that are on FIRE :Fire (gain @ 70% :scratchhead ... really ??)
What I want to know is .... how did you get that directional icon on the screen ?? It looks somewhat similar to the one that shows up onscreen when using Perspective Mode.
Friends unit on his boat. Coach me CrappiePappy. I'm gathering that 70% gain is too hot. What should it be set on? Are you saying there is no fish? A little thrown back by the whole statement.Quote:

Looks like small fish to me. Would help to see depth and distance to help judge size better.
Set on auto depth reading a little less than 14ft deep. Most of the time the rang is set to 60 ft.

The newer updates past 18 pretty much make you run a higher gain rate since the software gain rate has been diluted some. They're also automatically internally adjusted with the newer updates to an extent when you drop back to 30 or 40 feet. A good way to check is find a good target at 50 feet. Bring that target in to the 30 feet range and then bring your range to 30 and watch the sensitivity automatically fall off to where you can barely see your target then or not at all. Its very frustrating when chasing roaming fish. I always try the latest update when it comes out, but always go back to the series 18 version just because of this auto adjust gain issue.
I think 70% is too hot, but that's just my opinion & I'm no expert on Livescope settings. I can't remember what my gain is set on. I didn't use my boat the last 7-8 months of last year. I did have it set "hot" (like your buddy's) but dialed it down.Quote:

Thank yall for your opinion and your help. It is a LS34. I have some experience with a 32 but not much

I was kinda wondering about that, seeing as how the slanted line on the screen looked almost like it was in Down Scan mode. And the sonar circle in the upper right of the screen looked similar to the Perspective mode directional icon.Quote:

I've been seeing a lot of what look like crappie in every way in my lake but won't respond to jig. I'm 99% sure they are big gizzard shad. Scott
I'm also wondering why the line showing the direction and space being pinged by the LS34 looks to be showing that the LS34 is either tilted down a couple of clicks, or it's mounted backwards on the tm shaft or pole it's attached to (or both).
The sonar directional circle indicates that the transducer is pointing towards the back of the boat at about a 45deg angle. But we don't know which direction the trolling motor is pointing.
My apologies to catchNgrease ... the Gain @ 70% is probably not the reason for the "fireball fish". They're just close to the transducer (about 7ft away) and the amber palette could be the cause.
I'm also not familiar with the LS34 tdx and so it could be very different in what and how it shows things vs the LS32.
No apologies neccasary to me. The transducer is mounted on a decent stand alone swivel pole. Never really thought about a faulty install I will definitely check that for him

Here are crappie with the LS34. Id be fiddling with your settings.Attachment 448536Attachment 448537Attachment 448538

ARE THOSE SHAD ?
Adjust your unit settings. You don't want to have depth st at 40' when your in 16' of water. It causes everything to bunch up and makes it harder to identify size of fish. I also keep my range out to 60'+ unless in very muddy water. Live scope does require more adjustments and I personally NEVER use auto anything. Scott
On the lvs 32 search at 60 feet & depth is only what's needed to see bottom unless i'm fishing open water suspended fish then it's only enough to show about 5 feet below the fish i'm targeting.

Nah, don't let them talk you out of that 70%. It's different for different people.Quote:
