The camera not on the screen showing the lure working or the bite look like another scam from Garmin live scope you see fish that don't look like a dot all talk watch a live scope demo

[@DavidDudley]

I got plenty of time behind both yes both can draw fish at times. Size of fish matters... distance away....speed that fish is traveling. Angle of fish! When all the stars line up then yes you can get the promotion video of fish looking images. But in real life cituations the images are not fish looking images. For example if the fish is swimming straight away and it's only a 12 inch bass...You tell me how it draws that out on camera! You get my point. Lowrance is very clear and I can see the tail movement from alot of angles. Even though the angle may not be perfect i can still see the movement.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I see fish chase my bait on livescope all the time. Sounds like you need to get dialed in better

[@DavidDudley]

@@The_Garmin_Guru I'm confused on your comment I can see fish chase my bait with Active Target all day long. Thats not what we are discussing. The discussion is weather they look like a exact replica of a fish. Which if you read my above statement and the stars line up it can happen but 80 percent of the time on both forward looking units they are a blob or a dot. It has to do with cone a fish position.

[@matthewjohnson4957]

The shorter the distance the better fish definition. Scanning out 30' shows better definition than scanning 60' Been using livescope for a while. This looks better. I heard Garmin was partnering with lowrance on this technology then took off and came out with it first. Not sure if it's true.

Putting this all on my Jon boat this winter can’t wait to fish with it when it gets a little warmer. Thanks for the video!

[@danielmckeen2465]

We fish with the our knowledge of out witing the fish. As time goes on we all are using modern tech. In most things that we do.Love your Profishency rods.

[@handyallaround5776]

im glad to see your finally over the virus! congrats on making it through it.

[@DavidDudley]

Thank you Bent I sure am glad its over also

[@DadWinFishing]

David, You earned a subscribe with this one. I've been playing back and forth on what to add to my new boat purchase for electronics and the HDS 9 live was on my list. this video sealed the deal, I'm calling my dealership as soon as the open! thanks for the great video.

[@jimk4267]

Glad to see you up and about...thank you for all your efforts this year. The videos are great and very helpful. Good luck in 2021 and have a Merry Christmas!

[@TheGward100]

Best active target video I’ve seen so far! Thanks!

[@mikegardiner3934]

Hey Dave! Yep Lowrance is definitely in the game. I love their little flashlight looking direction indicator. Very cool. You’re like kid in candy store. Love it!!

[@kayakwesty]

Just traded in my Livescope for Active Target. Now monitors can all be networked.

[@handyallaround5776]

this is great technology for now,,,,but in about 5 years or maybe sooner, they will come out with better technology that will be able to distinquish the return on a particular species airbladder and show species and also possible full color video like image, so you truly know for sure its bass , and not non target species, and they will even have settings so it will only show bass, not others, i cant wait for that technology, as good as this is now, because its new , you must pay for all the upfront research and developement, i didnt realize its only a $300 option if you have compatible unit, this is a great buy, and this video will help me to make that decision, as it will truly be the real game changer in the coming years!,,,,,,,but again,,,,,,your fans are so glad your back diamond dave and looking healthier than ever!!

[@MrGambit-fl4yh]

Just got a Lowrance HDS LIVE a few months ago, and now a new piece of hardware to add. next year, thanks for the great instruction and how to use it HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[@brilintube]

Impressive, looks like Lowrance is back in the game. Kind of funny how he gets so excited, this is not new technology.

[@charlespoling3331]

DD gets all excited to save $30 on a fish after using well over $100,000 in equipment to catch it. Lol

[@KOOLBROTHA]

Had to subscribe. Your channel is awesome and your energy is incredible! Be blessed sir 👍🏿

[@mosierboy3631]

That was fun! Crappie are MY favorite! BABAAM!!

[@scottmcfalls2192]

Definitely could put extra fish in the boat! Good video brother! Double whammy outro back at cha! 👊👊

[@fishingbythenumbers7825]

Great Review. Glad to see you back at it

[@danbarber67]

Great video. Keep them coming. I'm definitely going to look at getting this. Thanks.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

I cannot wait to upgrade my Lowrance system with Active Target next year ~ !

[@coach3958]

This looks way better than Gaymans Panoptix. I just purchased active target. Thanks Dave

[@russstone2823]

You called it a confidence booster, I’ll debate that! I’ve been using Garmin and I can see the fish and can’t get them to bite which KILLS my confidence. I used to think, “there not here, I have to go find them”. Now I see them react to the cast splash, but, then they swim away and I start to think...I suck. And, guess what, I do, otherwise I would have collected $4.2 million in winnings.

[@DavidDudley]

This game is so complicated and has so many variables in each cast and each decision. Dont give up be versital and study hard. Fish with people better than you or get lessons i offer coaching lessons.

[@gordmummery]

Bottom line is you cant catch fish that are not there. This is just a tool to make informed decisions on the water? David, I noticed that some of the promotional images have a bit better resolution to the point in which you may be able to identify the fish species. Not really seeing it in your video but can you comment on what your seeing live? Is there much "fine tuning" that can be done? I have 2 livesight transducers on my boat, one forward on the troller, one on the back looking down for dropshotting. I LOVE the one on the back of the boat. The forward looking livesight I have not been able to use to any effectiveness. Love this video as it demonstrates the narrower cone angle provides the preciseness that would make this a useful tool.

[@jbsfishingstuffnmore7387]

What an amazing tool .

[@91tiger74]

Loved the video! I currently have Live Scope and love it but on my new boat this spring I will be switching to Active Target. It will be really nice having all Lowrance equipment again that can talk to each other. May I ask what lake that was? Looks like a fantastic striper lake. I’m a striper addict. Thanks.

[@MoneyBass]

Good video. Stay healthy! *Catching Bass for Cash*

[@davidbrown-55]

Love the vids Dave. Keep them coming. There’s only one problem with this technology, can’t afford any of it. Cost as much as a boat. More importantly how are you feeling boss?

[@FoxFishing4K]

Yah not as clear or defined as livescope. Livescope can shoot out to 100ft. This was blurring at 50ft. Still gotta give it to lowrance for their first year. hopefully over the next 2 or 3 years they will catch up. I also hope this brings the price down on garmin if they start adding pressure.

[@EdanC]

I’m so excited!

[@bryanduke430]

It looks awsome but does it work in shallower water with grass like Florida

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Great video thank you 👍

[@alvinchilds7235]

Awesome video, you are fun to watch, new subscriber

[@michaelferguson167]

I own one- just looks like a cluttered mess to this 60 year old. I'm selling mine to someone younger. I catch plenty of fish without the added expense and distraction.

[@greyhunter9287]

Hey David, could you do a video on when, where and under what conditions you would use scout vs forward mode>

[@Harlanmote]

And to think I thought a paper graph was the best thing in fishing back in the 70’s. I Will be getting one,and a new ipilot trolling motor by the spring.

[@zmaisch]

Nice looking net👍

[@williamclark5629]

Alsome videos that Lawrence is bad ass cant wait till I can up grade it's one cool unit thanks for all the videos

[@CB4basser1]

I should know in a couple weeks but is the Point 1 system making the boat icon direction turn, or is that built into the Live unit and active target?

[@CB4basser1]

I guess a better question is do I need a Lowrance Ghost to make the boat direction icon work? I have a Fortrex.

[@BassGeek]

That is a great technologie.

[@PopPopJoe]

From what I saw in this video Could this be hooked up to run in salt water? or would another type trolling motor be required?

[@ralo4265]

Good stuff David! 🎄👊🏼💯

[@dragsmoothfishingtv635]

Is the Lawrence trolling motor saltwater sealed or just for freshwater ? I’m looking to get a trolling motor for my center console but most people have the Minn kota saltwater trolling motor. I wouldn’t mind getting that trolling motor with that transducer. They are on sale now at tackle warehouse

[@DanRichardFishing]

Ooooo nice!! I'm actually deciding what to do next... 2 of my 3 garmin units died this year, VERY disappointed. I'm actually very much leaning to the Mega360 but the Active Target and the SI on Lowrance is niiiice!

[@THESHITTTTT65]

The only reason you need 360 on a bird is because you can't acutely map something out because the waypoint management is shit

[@DouglasSubbs]

what view were you showing? Forward, Down or Scout? looked more like scout but it could have been the distance your were looking out to

[@hamptonshull9301]

Great information and video, Any updates on the testing pool?

[@DavidDudley]

Building a bridge across the pool for accurate distances

[@jefferyholland]

Every year it seems we have something introduced to fishing that changes the game.

[@GalaxyRods]

Yup...especially Lowrance, they are famous for introducing new technology every 6 months, just to keep you spending money! That's why I'm not a fan of Lowrance...your new unit is obsolete in 6 months!

[@tealsbassgalaxy]

@@GalaxyRods HDS Live has been out for years bud...this is a new “transducer”

[@vintux1211]

great teaching video

[@kevinkirby4448]

Will there, eventually, be any skill left in competitive bass fishing? I don’t see much of a challenge with today’s (and future) electronics.

[@mattdobbins3890]

I understand where you are coming from. I appreciate technology, however, it is of my opinion that the true champions of the competetive bass fishing world were the men who had at most a flasher as tech equipment. I understand that you still have to get the fish to bite, but I just appreciate the days of tournament fishing from the 70’s, 80,s and early 90’s way more than I do tournament fishing of today.

[@TheSmedrock1]

David is there any difference between Lowrance Active Target and Garmin Panoptics ???

[@michaellamb1342]

Just wondering what this kinda technology will do to our fisheries in the long run?

[@soundhound9189]

That is awesome!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

🔥🔥❤️Hi David,I just invested in the Lowrance active image system and I can’t wait to get it,how well does it work in shallow water 10 feet and less or do you find it better in deeper water??

[@BretReidFishing]

Really cool video! Definitely got me pumped up! However, I do have a question, I fish mostly in water 8' or less, due to the type a shallow lakes we have here in Ohio. Do you know what the effectiveness of the AT be in shallower water? Everything I've seen seems to take place in 10'-15' or deeper. Man, if you could showcase that feature in your video, that would be so awesome!! Thank you in advance!

[@DavidDudley]

More vids are coming

[@danbarber67]

Can you send me the link to your install video. I couldn't find it. Thanks.

[@Shaun_millertech]

Nothing game changing there..... I'll stick with Garmin plus there support is way better.

[@steveshortt90]

What support?

[@nightfishercustombaits2119]

First time I have heard “Garmin” and “Great Support” ever

[@Surfer-727]

David goes grocery shopping with his striped bass buddies, cool !

[@mikejuby270]

Awesome. Like a kid in a candy store.

[@richardj6593]

If it is true that fish get conditioned to the sound and vibrations of forward facing sonar and stop biting over time, then individual manufacturers have a chance to take the lead by simply building a sound distorter on the transducer that mixes up or masks the sound and frequency to keep fish from getting conditioned. Wait and see, this is be a huge selling point for the first company to do it.

[@04702c]

How the Heck do they get such clean image?

[@dmnguye69]

So you have the distant and depth of the fish, that's a two dimension but at which angle is the fish infront of you which shows the 3rd dimension? Assuming you have an angle of 120 degrees that the fish can be anywhere...how do you determine the angle of cast for the fish?

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

It's only 18° wide if you pan left and the fish disappears from the screen super fast but to pan right and the picture just keeps getting better until it goes off the screen again then pan back left slowly and you'll have an approximate arrow just from the pointer on the trolling motor and based off the info the graph just gave you on how and where to cast. The distance is on the screen and the depth of the fish is shown, using a countdown method of say 12 second's for a fish that's 15-17 ft deep your bait will be in the view of the fish within seconds. It's not that hard, I promise! I learned the countdown method on crappie a few weekends ago and limited out with forward sonar by ten am

[@razorbak6783]

@@rowdybroomstick1216 I'm getting ready to buy a system....what would you buy if you were to get one now (a year later) and you have 2,500 bucks? Trying to do my research and spend it on the best system, any advise, help, tips, tricks etc.....would be greatly appreciated!!!!

[@chadwaldrup7364]

Great tutorial!! We’re you on lake Gaston? Just told the wife what I wanted for Xmas. Lol

[@dustinwright4601]

It really don’t look as good as garmin couldn’t really tell in the video. But really good video good job. What’s y’all’s Thoughts ?

[@captmarkdrown1]

Are you kidding? It is better then the Garmin. Look at the range he was looking out..... 70 plus feet..... show me videos where they are sight casting fish 70 feet out in front of the boat with a Garmin....

[@seewhyem]

@@captmarkdrown1 actually with livescope you can look out way beyond 70 feet. Everyone just choose not too. The only time you would want to see that far is to locate fish. Once you have located them you will move towards them and switch it back down to see about 30-50 feet. No one really wants to casts 70 feet when they can just pull up on the fish and drop it on their head :)

[@nickh6320]

I'm glad Lowrance caught up to whats out already to bad they will be behind garmin.

[@BassboatJoe]

Differences between live scope and Lowrance live scope?

So far, the quality of all videos has not convinced me, the picture is not clear enough. Too bad, I was hoping that Lowrance would be at least as good or even better than Garmin, unfortunately it still seems to be a bad copy :-(

Thought Active Target would be better than LiveScope that's been out for 2 YEARS...

At what point does this go too far? As a tournament angler. It’s kinda getting silly.

[@Abby-Normal-Fishing]

It seems that it has taken the skill out of the sport. Take any eleven year old gamer and they could be the next Rick Clunn. Have ever heard of shooting fish in a barrel!! If this is to stay a part of bass fishing tournaments then it needs to be offset to balance the sport. Let’s say you use this technology then you limited to using 8 pound test to offset the advantage.

[@caesar7153]

When does all this technology take the sport out of fishing? If someone created a completely autonomous fishing system where you do nothing but sit in the boat and watch your boat, rod, sonar do %100 of the fishing would you use it and still call yourself a fisherman? Guys like you would I bet! Pathetic 👎
