Ice Fishing with Lowrance Active Target (First Impressions)

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hi Jay!! I like ice fishing too!!!

[@kevinjamieson7899]

Make another video on some donkey lakers !!!

[@clayvetter8050]

Lemme fish with you we have the same name and I live in Sask

[@mikek2488]

Haha good one Clayton

[@ALTIMIT09]

I designed and 3D printed that pole, still a prototype. Its so cool to see something you designed and made on a popular KZbinr channel.

[@Kepe63]

Sure would like to buy your pole, any chance?

[@ryan.onreel]

This guy does not get enough credit! Posts often and always has informative and entertaining content. Love you Jay!

[@JaySiemens]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching the vids!

[@klaytonkree]

I legit thought I had a text on my phone when sam texted you. At first I was like, I don’t have a Sam in my phone????

[@colemeachem7748]

Haha I’m ashamed to admit I checked my messages too.

[@unsavablesoul7275]

Glad I’m not the only one

[@joelkreller2327]

Lol I honestly thought I had a text from Sam!!

[@caseydixon8714]

I wish i had a text from sam😜

[@6527mjap]

It took me 3 seconds to realize it’s not my message.😅

[@bigswedefishing2028]

Thanks for putting out good information for the rest of us. It's nice to see unsponsored reviews on expensive gear.

[@JaySiemens]

I try my best! Thanks!

[@user-bf5rf4hs8v]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

[@colinschell8978]

Jay Siemens simply makes my day every day. I think I’ve watched every video 3 times at least

[@JaySiemens]

Love to hear that! Thanks so much.

[@carsondillon8175]

Yooo love the vids you should do another overnight ice fishing vid👍🏻👍🏻. Keep up the great work.

[@JaySiemens]

More next year!

[@YouBetchaOutdoors1]

It will be really interesting to see the companies compete. Garmin has set a strong standard and the others will have to look to innovate. It will be exciting for sure!

[@JaySiemens]

For sure!

[@jwilly8801]

The best thing I could’ve possibly came back to after soccer practice besides a Jay and Arron collab

[@JimHenderson70]

This is awesome of you for reviewing this stuff , because of your review of the Garmin Striker 4 . I just ordered 2 units .

[@JaySiemens]

Great to hear!

[@jerryesau1311]

Good to see Lowrance and soon Humminbird coming out with technology to rival Garmin, Will push everyone to sharpen their game and be better, and we the anglers benefit.

[@JaySiemens]

And with competition I think more affordable pricing will be available!

[@wiscofish3648]

I was about to lounge on the couch and watch TV all day, but this video motivated me to get out here and try for the big one 😆.

[@JaySiemens]

Yesss!!

[@connorderaps1699]

Finally!! Been waiting for jay to upload for way to long!

[@JaySiemens]

I'm doing my best!

[@RyanSchwietersOutdoors]

Thanks for another awesome video. I'm a big Lowrance guy and was excited for the active target to come out. I'm upgrading my units in my warrior 2090 to the new hds live and am definately following your comparisons. Plan was to upgrade units then pop a hds 9 off in the winter to use with active target. If the lag is quite a bit though I might wait before purchasing the active target until they update it. Looking forward to the comparison video!

[@JaySiemens]

Good points! Thanks for watching!

[@davidtisch5237]

Thanks for an honest review and your videos are growing on me

[@JaySiemens]

I'm glad

[@kathryn10241381]

You can't make videos fast enough!! Lol always anticipating new videos from you!!

[@JaySiemens]

I try!

[@jamesfletcher2302]

Best way to wake up coffee and a new jay video !!

[@JaySiemens]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@kylehodgson1339]

I just bought the Hook Reveal. We run Lowrance products mostly. Excited to see how it functions vs Helix.

[@cjherriman7226]

Looking forward to seeing you review of the different products side by side

[@AnglersEdgeMapping]

Love the 9" HDS 9's, personal favorites of ours 😄. Great vid, hopefully the issues will be fixed with software updates as you mention!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@David-pk5vf]

Great Video! Your channel is great! Thanks for these videos, I love them! By the way, almost 80,000 subscribers! Congratulations!

[@JaySiemens]

Working on it! Thanks so much!

[@Ryantrock8888]

I think a good test comparison would be for lake trout, where they roam high in water column

[@JaySiemens]

Good idea!

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Very cool! Thanks! I have had my eye on this product since November.

[@InDepthSonar]

Great video! Nice to see it on ice finally. Hopefully they can fix the delay and some of the other bugs with software updates.

[@JaySiemens]

Hope so!

[@stacylegerski4123]

hi I`m on my moms acount I`m a kid I love fishing and ice fishing and me and my dad have live scope and I love your videos!!!!

[@chrisbraun11]

Loving the review videos man!

[@zbassr2106]

Jay, is there a video of you doing a side by side of garmin and lowrance in deep waters? Im talking 80ft plus. I know for a fact that the Garmin struggles in deep waters on tracking your jig in downview. Hopefully you can show that this up coming ice season.

[@ajmeier01]

Holy crap, 10 minutes in and look at the number of comments. Go Jay go!

[@adamk4537]

cool to see those fish chase the bait like that!

[@CaptainPatP]

Great intro to this system. It will be interesting to see if there is any interface between this and the livescope side by side. Just fished about 30ft away from another livescope unit and had very mild flashes of interface entry few minutes. Tried the catch and cook on some kokanee last week. 👍👍

[@JaySiemens]

Awesome thanks for giving it a try!

[@kylewilliams6349]

Fire content like always. I hope you get your hands on humming bird mega live for a couple days to compare them all!

[@carsonkuhn5842]

Jay you should make another video for big winter pike

[@montanafishingadventures]

Love your videos dude! Your videos have inspired us to give ice fishing a try, wasn't disappointed!

[@JaySiemens]

Thats great!

[@MonkeyOnMyBackOutdoors]

Very graceful first impression video!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks!

[@MountainStateAngler]

Livescope ftw! Nuff said, but it’s getting better!

[@FreakofNature1]

Thanks Jay!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks for watching!

[@FishingOD_OFFICIAL]

Another great vid Jay 👊🏼

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks buddy!

[@outdoorsdestination8880]

The other thing is when you already have it in your boat. I run new lowrance HDS live units in my boat. So it’s a no brainer

[@JaySiemens]

Yup totally!

[@Noah_P]

Cant wait for u to test the humminbird version

[@canucklehead0]

Very cool tech, man we sure have come a long ways from tying a weight on some monofilament and dropping it down till it hit bottom to determine the fishing depth. Now if they could come out with a machine that can auto process the fish into boneless fillets, and on bigger and ocean fish the wings or collar and the cheeks then we'd be talking!!

[@JaySiemens]

You got that right!

[@jonah6727]

Love the frequent videos

[@JaySiemens]

I'm working on it! Thanks for watching!

[@Powpow-yt7td]

Best fishermen in canada hands down

[@JaySiemens]

Thank you!

[@davidbarclay4968]

Good review. I was wondering about the Lowrance tech. I still think all these systems are priced way to high but that’s normal with new tech.

[@austinremondes5653]

Love your vids jay your my inspiration

[@JaySiemens]

Thank you!!

[@FiftyQuest15]

Can't wait to add this to my Lowrance Carbon's. Just saving my pennies lol

[@taitsmith215]

I saw your last video and I just bought a Garmin Striker 4

[@JaySiemens]

Its a good one!

[@BIGRANZ24]

Russel marine products did a side by side against live scope on lake of the woods.

[@Dbars19]

i feel like spending 4k + for this kind of tech in its current state isnt worth it.

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Hopefully in a couple yrs they make them more compact and cheaper... I do a lot of back lake specs, way too big for hiking in.

[@renaudtheis1197]

My thought as well. It will get cheaper now with 3 brands competing.

[@JimmySeahawk]

That price is ridiculous. Need too sell a kidney to pay for that.

[@denisdelaquis1174]

The day they’re cheap enough for anyone to buy will be the start of the end for fisheries.

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

@@denisdelaquis1174 luckily for the fish, most of them don’t bite, so seeing them doesn’t really matter... You got to trick em. Like that HUGE Pike or Muskie that came in mid-way in the water column in the vid above,,, From fishing in Muskie infested waters, I’ve learned that is how they act, I’d bet that was a big Pike or Muskie. Even if they do bite, tough to land, lol.

[@tiagogiesbrecht8102]

Keep up the great work!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks, will do!

[@aaronbergquist9051]

It looks really nice

[@trevorkoep8266]

Looks like u had two left hands jay we will chalk up the missed fish to that😂😂😂 great video!!!

I'm left handed. So I had two right hands I guess!

@@JaySiemens no matter what great content man!! Now you gotta get your hands on the new mega live and do a review

Hey Jay ..love the vids bud! could you do a vid on Panoptix Livescope transducer positioning Forward and down for open water and ice fishing? that would be amazing! I can't find anyone who has done one decently.

Hey! I talk about my transducer set up in Top 3 Lures for Spring Walleye! Hope that helps!

Who knows what pricing will be like with more competition! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bono69ful]

Can you do a in depth video on how the garmin live scope works

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks for the suggestion! Because it isn't a super affordable option I haven't had much interest in this. But I'll see what I can do! Thanks!

[@alecwilcox6549]

Is the lowrance elite FS 7 compatible with a forward facing ice ducer like the hds9?

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Is the round edge due to transducer not in the water deep enough to clear the bottom of the hole?

[@oriansinkleryukon2680]

great video!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks!!

[@Yukon85226]

did you evaluate the forward and scout mode?

[@TeamAbitibiAngler]
