[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks Ash!!!

[@ChristinaLemke]

Livescope fishing is everywhere now..tuff to beat... Don't let it get you down. Maybe something you can slowly tweak for yourself. I wouldn't lose sight of your goals for the season! I just attended the MN DNR Round table meeting on Friday. This is a big topic in the outdoor industry. As it's completely taking the market over, it seems. You've proven yourself extremely well over the years with a high skill set! Never lose sight of the basics, IMO. Advanced tools can definitely help one out but not always make the fish eat. I think people can definitely learn new things using them..where fish hold, etc...Wishing you the best this season! Stay safe out there and kick some ass lady!! New rig..new year ✨️ 🙌

[@kristinefischer2289]

SO true! It is important to understand it is a tool and you have to know when to apply it! But also, rely on YOUR instincts too!

Much as i have tried its been difficult for me at mid 60s to get the hang of FFS. Purchased the early version and helped me isolate structure but struggled with video fishing. I am convinced that I have to figure it out. Inly out once since i moved it from TM shaft to barrel but for me had better results. Best of luck to you this year

[@marciel3054]

I fished that spot 3 weeks ago. Pretty identical pattern to what you did and I eventually found them in the deeper water later in the day. The weather here has been bi-polar so where they would normally be shallow they have been schooling on the edges of the depth changes to deeper water. It has definitely been frustrating.

You are a beast with that shallow water power fishing. My take would be to run your comfort zone and keep that sharp, but work on the ffs as you can. As hard as you work you'll get it in no time. Good luck this year.

[@christinerogers5331]

Kristine, the new rig looks fantastic, as to your weakness in the jerk bait livescope realm, go out with just a jerk bait in hand and fish it all day with livescope, something tells me you'll master it! Love you, take care and be safe!

[@kristinefischer2289]

You always have faith in me and that helps!!

[@tonyroddenberry5521]

Since you’re fishing for a living , you should learn that livescope stuff because your competition is doing the same , but don’t forget your instincts. What day were you on that lake ? I fish there very often.

[@paradon5230]

WHAT MODEL of motor guide is it ?

[@pmm422]

Practice practice practice. I assure you that would have been frustrating for anyone. I will say that if you don't want it to happen again focus on it and work through it. There will be a situation sometime in your future where it's the only thing working. Better to develop the skill when it isn't mission critical than to try to do it under live fire. Love your content, keep up the good work!

"Wheels are turning..." and I'm sure they will eventually propel you forward to success. LOVED how you break down the water. Really loved how another angler immediately recognized you! Having my buddy outfish me is my reality: welcome to my world! I have no idea why he catches so many more than I do -- usually by 3 (or more) to 1. I know YOU are a great Fischer (see what I did there?) so, in YOUR case, I know that's not it. When you have an epiphany and realize the reason, please let all us outfished gals and guys know!

[@dalehoskins9720]

🔥🔥💯 always awesome 💯🎣🎣

[@larryaikens4284]

Kristine, here are my thoughts on why it is so difficult to try and learn different fishing locations, techniques and lures. When we caught a fish our brain floods with dopamine, and we are elated. It is an awesome feeling! A feeling we want to duplicate repeatedly and often. Once a person master’s a fishing technique or lure, we often stick with it because we know we will catch fish and get that release of dopamine. Trying a new technique or lure creates stress and anxiety. The exact opposite of a dopamine dump. For someone like me and others that watch your videos, it isn’t that important for us to elevate our fishing skills to the level you need to be at because many of us are not tournament fishermen (women). For years I would only throw a Texas rig crawl, fishing on the bottom or running it along the top. Caught hundreds if not thousands of bass fishing that way. Last year, I forced myself to throw a rattletrap, swimbait and 6” glide bait. I caught a lot of bass using all three. My comfort zone is still a crawl, but I am quicker to go to the other lures if the crawl isn’t working. Thanks for the videos. Question - Have you ever fished the Blackwater river in Milton FL? If so, how would you rate it?

[@saltwaterdawgoutdoors2190]

work on the active target, most of us would be ecstatic to catch the fish you caught with it on this outing.

[@rcrawford1030]

I think you should spend the time to learn the jerk bait with live scope; my opinion that it would just be another tool in arsenal that may help win a tournament. Fishing professionally you need as many tools as a possible.

[@reelfishin6019]

Hi I would recommend watching this video Lowrance Active Target on the water demonstration and teaching! by David Dudley Outdoors. I hope this helps and looking forward to competing with you on Caddo Lake.

[@bobbolieu9013]

I know what you mean about the Live Scope fishing, for me it really isn't fishing. I realize that it really is electronic sight fishing, it is fine tuned sight fishing. My thing is that I cherish the hunt for the fish. I have been told that I do hunt fish because of the way that I fish. I do broadcast fishing, usually as a last resort when spot fishing does produce. But hey girl, any day on or at the water is better than sitting on dry land thinking about fishing.

If you're fishing for a living. You better learn all aspects of the tools you can use. Especially FFS. If you're just a weekend local tournament angler. Then it's your choice. I've learned mine over the years, and it has helped me understand fish habits and made my weekend trips more enjoyable. I'm in a fishing tournament for the friendship. It gives me the fulfillment from the void of competition hockey. I could care less if I won. I'd rather see someone else catch a good limit because for some people, it's their only competition they experienced. Pluss I'm older and just want to enjoy life and influence the younger generation. 😊
