When NOT to use Active Target... "If you ain't scoping you're hoping"

#activetarget #livescope #bassfishing
Theres so much conversation about pros using active target vs weekend guys. Learn when I use my active target to compete at the highest level. This will help you focus on when and when NOT to use active target or Garmin Livescope. "If you aint scopin you're hopin."

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Great video man !! 👍 There’s many times on Lake Michigan I’m using mine to get better at it and I get totally frustrated thinking I’m wasting way to much time fiddling with it when I know I could just go fish my spots and catch plenty of fish.

Glad I could help!

I’ve only taken my rig out twice since installing LS but I can’t imagine not having it & i really enjoyed tinkering with it. It’s another tool in the boat period. I haven’t used my perspective mount yet but i will try it soon. I will be in Guntersville a week in May & will try it there. I will ONLY use mine in the summer fall winter & spring……..lol. PS…..please send Blauket some anxiety meds, us “livescopers” are gonna push him off the deep end….

💯% agree it’s great for locating cover and knowing if you are around fish!!! Thanks man

[@haroldrogers6566]

I’ll have to say,,,,,, I resemble them remarks Salzy 👍👍

I use it all the time to spot cover. In my local lake there are scattered stumps, cedar bushes, and laydowns that are submerged. In the fall and winter they suspend above cedar bushes and if you drop a jig on their head they will follow it down and eat it. I like to see what's in the direction I'm moving.

In my first season using AT2 and for a new lake fisherman it has taught me a lot. I'm now addicted to the flutter spoon which causes me to miss other bites.

[@prestonbonner2456]

You nailed it about Guntersville... The 360 is awesome for following grass lines. I use mega live to scout up ahead or followers. It's an efficient way to fish on the miles and miles of grass lines... Other than that, I'm fishing a pattern and not really using mega live.

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

exactly!!

[@randybarger8649]

Im same 50/50 when on im winning or getting paid the mlf events i fish they are in Tennessee most are scoping getting 20 pound plus bags on bug lakes bank beaters have a few times a year can compete when fish are shallow early spring and late fall

[@areddfishing7473]

Wait he just mind blew me. Angling that transducer up alittle to see the top water. Dude this something for shallow water river fishing possibly???

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

shhh ;)

[@stevegannon9419]

Fish talk no BS thanks

[@ripandclipTV]

I've never fished with active target or livescope, would love to see what the hype is lol.

[@CrankCaveBaits]

It’s horrible for the guy in the back of the boat. My partner spent an entire day spinning in circles. We may have actually fished 3 total hours out of an 8 hour tournament.

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

ooof that would be rough!!

[@CrankCaveBaits]

@@AlabamaBassGuide rough ain’t the word for it lol we weighed in 2 fish for a little over 6lbs. When it takes over fishing instinct and conditions it becomes a problem for us old school guys🤷🏼‍♂️

[@stephenmorgan6951]

I get tired of looking at the screen. In fact it makes my head hurt. Not to mention the scope can slow you down when trying to cover water. I have been hearing ppl say the fish are starting to recognize they are getting hit with the beam and will move out

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

they do feel it sometimes

[@davidthomas2921]

If you are not scoping, you are fishing..Live scope days are numbered..I rather fish by skill, than look like a fool with a modified cell phone...LOL

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

well you're not a fool catching fish either way, but it will level out.
