Some of the best educational videos out there!! Well done!

[@tjsguideservice]

Really appreciate that, Clayton! 👊

Wow. Fishing made easy now,more than ever. Almost like fish in a barrel. Sweet.

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks for watching!

[@evanmalison4489]

Thanks TJ! I’ve learned so much about reading my livescope because of your videos!🎣

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that, Evan! Glad it’s been helpful! 👊

[@adhall777]

Excellent info as always. I also run the blue color hue on mine but enjoy the clean look of the black in your videos.

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment as always! Blue is definitely the way to go in my opinion! Just wish they would come out with that black! Haha

[@FishinDr]

As someone who lives in Virginia, not much walleye. I fish for them exclusively when I take a trip to Canada twice a year and so these videos help cut down time wasted so I can hit the fish and catch them more quickly. Thanks

[@troyhoernemann3775]

@tjsguideservice I like it my biggest problem is seeing my bait past 50ft the Garmin has that on it spent a little time be hind a lvs 34 is better on that only . My casting with accuracy needs some work seem to always cast short or to far

Thanks from Oneida lake NY - time to go whack some this am with your tips 🎉😊

[@richardkennedy9173]

I have been running green and black , with my 126sv . Been trying get better results from 5ft shallow on about 35ft out and adjusting gain down to see structure and fish. Stained water and suspended weeds is tough to read . Thanks for the tips.

If you could identify some of these things in the video, you are on the right track! Then just takes some time on the watrr

[@erics667]

Another great video. One thing I've heard and read about a little, and experienced this past weekend, is lithium battery voltage and its correlation to overall picture clarity. I run an Amped lithium but its voltage is 13.3V or so and the picture is fine to pretty good most days. But some newer battery models run at 14.4V. This past weekend I saw a clearer picture with the newer battery, running 14.4V. Can you speak to that at all? Thanks.

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that! I have heard people on both sides. Some say voltage makes a huge difference some say it’s all bunk. I can’t speak to it because i have had the 48ah lithium for a long time and I don’t remember what it looked like with a lower voltage battery. It did seem clearer to you though?

[@erics667]

@@tjsguideservice It did. I know that amped has lifepo4 and NMC and that the NMC run up to over 16V. More research is needed! Lol

Tj any advice for Rainy lake? Heading to the in-laws next weekend and plan to bring the boat to try some fishing in the morning out there for walleyes. Looking for some tips for out there this time of year. Appreciate it!

So jealous! I would fish the reefs in 20-30 feet and you are going to be golden!

[@jacobkavanagh9008]

@@AuthorNathanJohnson I’ll have to study a map a bit. Not sure where that is! Haha. I should have specified I have never been on the lake. Been going to the falls for 7 years for the in-laws but never had a boat worth taking out there till the past few years! Thanks for the tip!

[@benjiang6493]

Hi TJ, in ice fishing I can use the old PS22 to tell if the signal is crappy nor not. However in LVS32 so signals are very similar and I cannot tell. Can you make a video to how larger crappie signal looks like on LVS32/34 ? Thanks

[@tjsguideservice]

I will definitely add that to the list!!

[@HAPYDUDE7]

This fish at 11:24 looks so good, can clearly see the fish.

[@tjsguideservice]

Love it when there’s good returns!

[@EliMurray-j3c]

I might have missed it in the video, but what screen are you running that livescope on?

This is the gpsmap 8610!

Wow me too, I also run the blue myself, wish I could edit it out on my unit, really like this color.

[@patrickethier6190]

do you like livescope better than mega live?... I have mega live but I don't think the forward-sonar is as good as live scope, but then I'm new to all this.... Down imaging works great but I'm struggling with forward facing sauna on mega live.

[@tjsguideservice]

I would say Livescope is significantly better than MEGA Live. I still run Humminbird down and side because I think they are the best in the game for that.

[@patrickethier6190]

@@tjsguideservice yeah I think you're right but I heard next year mega live is coming out with a new transducer ... I think they know they need to step it up to keep up with Garmin with the forward-facing sonar

This video has convinced me not to spend the money on livescope. Even with a professional explaining it to me while I watch it, it still looks like random nonsense.

Nothing will replace time on the water!

[@larsvegas1505]

@@tjsguideservice Since i got lvs ive improved on all my pb''s in like 10 sessions.. ive been fishing for over 30 years.. caught biggest pike/zander and perch.. I think its a amazing thing.. but also would hate so see everyone using it. because it does have a impact. The waters i fish have not been scoped before by anyone.. Also to find a big fish.. cast to it and then see it bite on screen.. very addictive!

[@FarNorthAnglers]

If you are lazy and don’t want to put the effort in to learning something just say it. It’s not just take it out of the box and it starts loading walleyes into the boat….Christ people have lost it. My livescope has taken me time to learn and for ice fishing it has been a game changer.

[@RobertUtley-tt2wc]

Unethical and no skill , keep arcade electronics at home it has killed our 200acre lake

Correction: anglers that did not exhibit self control killed your 200 acre lake. Selective harvest and catch and release can go along way.
