What a cool measuring tool

[@rustykeller8264]

Hey man. Love going fish'n with you. Always keep your old Powerbait. If you ever have a jar of it dry up, and turn hard, add water to to make it a full jar, then put it on a shelf for a month or two. Eventually, it will turn totally, to liquid. Then, take that jar, and a bag of little Marshmallows, and go fishing. Put a little Marshmallow on a hook, dip it in your Powerbait soup, and cast it on the waters. It catches anything. The soup adds scent and taste to the Marshmallow (the fish love it).

Great video Ken. Can you please use the active captain to record and post the Livescope footage as well. I love seeing what goes on underwater on the Livescope. Not many people are putting out good livescope footage and I think it will really blow up your channel. As you know its addicting watching the Livescope.

[@pilot5298]

I'd like to second this request for Livescope through Active captain. 3 Pound is using that technique and it's working great for him.

Ive actually downloaded the active captain and never used it! I wanted to make sure i dont turn my channel into a everything livecope kinda deal. There are still so many people out there that dont have it that want to learn, On the other side of that, we have supporters like you and for that reason im gonna open that dang app and use it, lol! be on the lookout ill start soon

yep its how i move my transducer for the scope. Gonna make a video about it for yall soon

[@bakervinci163]

Please show us how your scope transducer is mounted, especially the metal tiller you use to get the cone back in position. Your troller does not seem to move much while in spot lock. My ulterra moves so much, I have mount the scope on a separate place. Thanks.

[@HookCityTV]

There is a company that sells the transducer mounts that bolts on to the mounting holes under the ultrex. The spot lock feature is happy when there is a constant wind, it helps keep it steady. When the lake is full of wind gusts or no wind at all it goes crazy. 8-15 mph wind and it works like a charm
