This SMALL Adjustment WON ME $100,000 - FFS tips

I didn't know it at the time but taking the time to go and fix this issue I was having and filming it would help me to win $100,000 at the first event of the year. I did this video to talk about a common issue I have seen with people's FFS setups and the best way to go about and fix it.

I just bought a Livescope system last week. I've watched a hundred videos since then. This is the FIRST one that talked about getting correct alignment. But, you better be carefule....we gonna start thinking you know what your talking about! 🤣

[@davidcarroll7143]

What did you pay for such a wonderful unit?

[@sigspearthumb69420]

@@davidcarroll7143there’s a kit you can look up for only $800 I believe

[@marvinramos7215]

Love how you actually are out there showing us instead of just talking about it while sitting on the boat. Keep it up DC

[@kellenbowers7132]

So a piece of tape with lines every 1/8” just above the bracket and a locating mark on the bracket itself can help tremendously with these adjustments. Just having a reference mark of any kind can make fine tuning this system so much easier.

[@jimradford789]

I remember when the plastic worm, Berkley scent, fluorocarbon, now it forward facing sonar. DC thank you for explaining the use of forward facing sonar, you just don't attach it to your trolling motor and go fill a limit! You still have to work on pin pointing the thing, then find the fish, then make them bite!! Loved this video!!

[@bretthatten134]

Fantastic, informative video. Thank you very much for taking the time!

[@coachgripski]

Good video. Great to see pros sharing the finer details. Good luck at Redcrest! I'm rootin' for ya!

[@eddiemcgee1778]

Excellent tips DC you are the man!!!

[@wiernicks8151]

Love your vids man makes my day every time you post!

[@haroldrogers6566]

This is the most common sense video Ive seen for adjustments. Thanks DC and good luck in the morning in the Redcrest. I hope you or KVD wins the damn thing 😁👍💯

[@htbboats]

Thanks for this and any tips! Pulling for you!

[@oscarleblanc3]

Awesome tips DC!! Great vid!

[@tjgim]

I have an LSV 32 transducer, thanks for this tutorial. I will definitely spend time on making the adjustment.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Now this is a great info video, thanks, catch'um up DC...

[@user-qc3fi4jb1q]

D Sizzle!!!!! Keep it up! Like the brotherhood with the crew! You and Mark make it fun to watch a great sport on and off the water!! Too funny!

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Great info DC 👊

[@mchlprks40]

DC Thanks so much for the sweet tip on spotting your lure hitting the water. I'm 65 and fish my fav ways first before I fish for suspended fish, so I only use active a little bit now and then. Love the info, man. Congrats on the little one. Blessings.

[@jacksonsportsandoutdoors4110]

Yes sure Dc keep the good work one day I really hope to be like u and become a great bass fisher man it is one of my passions just like u. U are a big inspiration and inspire me every day to go fishing.🎣 ❤

[@MegaBassbite]

Remember all DC is saying is on calm flat water..... wind and waves makes life a bit different

[@user-lb2dn9eg2n]

Thanks for the info great video

Thanks this was awesome video I needed this nugget

[@Ridingwithconnor-123]

Let’s go man love your videos

[@briandavis5414]

Great video DC

[@DavidSmith-Samluke36]

The more tips on FFS the better. Thanks DC

[@robertrieckenberg282]

You are helping all bass fishermen by helping them understand how to adjust and use the FFS

[@johnjohnson5933]

Great info 👍

[@user-hx7jl9gz8o]

We love ya brother keep doing your thing big dog

[@rodcashman4793]

Great video DC. Ii don't have the transducer. I have one on the back of my boat. Have to learn how to use it. I never played video games so I'm lost.

[@Melanzyk]

Love your videos! What is the brand of a hoodie you wearing?

[@MusicCityAngler]

This video actually just blew my mind.

[@CoosaBassMan]

Great video D.C. I have a name for the new Crush City minnow bait… The “Wheeler Dealer”

[@beccabeth2]

Thanks for all the good info. If that is muddy water i must be fishing tomato soups 😂. Keep on keeping on👍

[@qfastqfast]

I always carry a red or white paint marker. If my ffs gets knocked around I just line it back up from the line I marked when it was money. Saves me some time incase I bump it on timber or a dock 😂

[@michaelramirez1619]

Once you find the spot you like the most of your transducer, you should make location line marks with a paint pen so you can always see if it has moved or to make it easier to reset location

[@jaggermcbride2599]

Hey DC Little tip/trick that’ll get you right is stick a level on your trolling motor head on the side and stick something under it to level it and then keep it like that then Stick a level on the side of the transducer and level em to where there the same and it will be perfectly aligned

[@MosesFishing]

Did you get the updated mount for the quest from fish obsessed? Dont need to adjust it it comes pre cut for the angles on the quest. Mine was absolute dead nuts perfect when i put it on.

[@user-us6ev4zh9x]

Enjoy all your videos, I've got a important question for you & the crew, what, winter raingear is better for the money, Bass Pro Guide wear , Jacob's Academy brand or another? Fixing to buy & want the best bang for my limited bucks!

[@user-us6ev4zh9x]

Come on dude, I wanted you & the guys honest opinion on the best winter rainwear for the money!

[@kvaughn1573]

On my new boat I can’t see the bait hit the water, I will be in them settings next time I hit the lake! Thanks dc

[@Gringedood787]

I am ready to watch you at redcrest

[@benboothe6758]

Do you do on the water lessons? If not you should think about it. Im getting ffs next year and would love to have a guy like you get on my boat and share some pointers.

[@carlhibler7700]

When you adjusted the T/D itself did you slide it on short shaft towards T/M shaft in or out?

[@KissmyBasss]

I switched to a pole with my AT2, it's so much better. Dead accurate on most casts, I can quickly sweep 360 deg and tilt it up for Scout.

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Ok, just humour me for a minute. I have 2 Lowrance units, so huge fan. What I am seeing is with live target, if your fishing rough water with 2ft waves, the live target transducer is lifting and dropping with each wave so much, the picture is next to useless. So, if the transducer was mounted on the transom say 1 ft lower than the keel on the gearbox, it would move up and down way less. This would have to involve a revolving unit that works in conjunction with your trolling motor, and the sounder unit would have to compensate for the length of your boat in its on screen information. Given our small waterways here in Australia, generally rough conditions and high boat traffic, i really doubt active target would be worth my investment. When you find a specific pattern, ie: certain water depth, temperature, structure and bait, then active target is really not essential IMO. The art of reading your surroundings and computing the info into your days fishing seems to be extinct. I didnt even have a GPS 8 years ago, did it old school.

[@fransaban4374]

What adjustment do you make after crushing a stump?! … haha .. this information is great.

[@Duk803]

That fish obsessed is legit, the only mount I've used that you can see your bait immediately when it hits the water. 1/16 crappie jig at 80 ft out. Only mount out there imo

[@tboy2033]

It’s not easy getting dialed in on but when you do get ready. But then you still have to get the fish to eat and don’t under shoot the fish or over shoot. Then learning how to spot fish that will eat or not it’s a lot easier said then done.

[@cryptocreek1557]

Just a little request, if you could have the music a little lower then we could hear DC talk better. Thanks. Love your videos!

[@petecook1611]

Active target has 18 deg cone so it's 3d on your screen just because u see it on screen doesn't mean it's center I think only way is to pull a string an square it up

[@blp403]

Is there any word on when we can expect to see the mooch minnow?

[@DCFishing]

It should be officially announced at icast in july

[@jaredspear8140]

Guessing since this was filmed in La. You’ll be setting up your transducer again after snapping your trolling motor off at Sante Cooper?

[@DCFishing]

Something like that

[@ronpittman5030]

Dustin I’ve been setting up units for a long time son. You have to use a known target! Hang a bait from a floating buoy and back away from it.

[@rickwilliams6922]

I do that with a buoy marker, they have a rope under them, make sure your TM is dead on it and then adjust.

[@jasonbain4171]

Need the W in Redcrest this year for sure. Homeboy. ROLL TIDE. D.C. Coosa River. Oh yeah.

[@jonathanvangundy7423]

What's the best way to work the freeloader I bought a pack of the green pumpkin

[@vbcoachcarter88]

look for the Mark Daniels "Rate the Bait" they just did where they talk about the FreeLoader and the technique they use. it's absolutely killer

[@keithawhitley]

Do you use a 0 degree mount

[@philltolliver925]

Being a fan of DC but living in the middle of Missouri sucks 😩 All the tour spots are sooooo freakin far.

[@levi_fishing]

So let me ask you this. Why don't you put the active target on its own pole? It seems it would be easier so you don't have to fight the trolling motor. I don't have it so that's why I'm asking

[@mckinleycorbitt5465]

Why you running active target over live scope?

[@DCFishing]

I am with lowrance and I prefer it

[@jessevowell2554]

If you have that bait, the only person you don't want to have that bait already has that bait. Does that make any sense ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know who I mean. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johncox9766]

With all the talk about banning FFS the big dogs are spilling the tricks to all comers. This group of Anglers know how much of a tool this is for their careers. These are the faces of fishing now. So this is not going to;g anywhere.

[@carlreed9357]

You are starting to scare me. A semi educated red neck !!!! This in my opinion is one of your best videos. You explained it in layman's terms. Great show.
