This video really helped me use my livescope settings properly. I did a youtube review showing my set-up where I basically put it in a cooler to make it portable. I LOVE the livescope but you really have to know how to use it. It's not always video game fishing but often helps you see where you are located in relation to the structure so that you can target fish without spooking them. I LOVE IT.

I have the Livescope on my new boat with a 12 inch Garmin in the front and the 10 inch garmin by my steering wheel for side scanning . I can say it does as advertised. I only use the emerald blue color as I have found I see fish more clearer. Setting the gain is what’s important to me.

Does it help, hurt, or make any difference as far as having clear returns on whether I have the transducer mounted on the port or starboard side of shaft? I have mine rotated from factory recommendation so my prop isn't wearing a hole in my boat cover. I still have it rotated for forward looking. Thanks.
@Wired2Fish4 жыл бұрын
Doesn't make a difference. The main thing is just clearing the head of the trolling motor. I do the same thing with my prop and have the Perspective mount on there with great returns. I will say that I had a pinched cable from my install and my picture was messed up from that but it's been replaced now and works great.

What a great video that answered lots of questions that I had! One question I still have is after a few hours of fishing (kayak) with live scope sometime my screen will suddenly appear different, kind of like you turned the gain down about 30%. I can shut the unit completely down and when it powers back up it will be normal but only for a short while. Could this be heat related? The black box is mounted under my seat but not in a box so it is getting lots of air flow, Texas summer air flow.
@Wired2Fish4 жыл бұрын
Ours will do that at times too. Usually all you have to do is pan it around to shallower water and it will ping better and get its signal back. Something about it losing it's ping shooting out into water (like in forward mode) and not getting a return it like dims everything out for a second.

Is perspective mode the primary tool to use in 5 feet of water or less? Can things like side imaging still be useful? Also, for future show would love the same type of tips for finding bass in deeper water. Would you use live scope forward, 2D, or side imaging to locate schools of bass. Thanks, Frank from Virginia.
@Wired2Fish4 жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely you can still use side scan, 360 and other technologies. Forward looking real time imaging has limitations because the transducer is pointed forward and down, so if you get in shallow water it's not going to be able to see but a foot or two in front of you because of the cone and angle. We have lots of videos on finding fish with down and side scan and 360 imaging on our channel. We have a lot more coming with different LiveScope modes. We're looking for schools while we drive on the big motor with side and down imaging and then using LiveScope to pan around and find the fish and cover while up on the deck casting. Side Scan doesn't work well when you're up on the trolling motor, just like LiveScope is meant to be used on a trolling motor and it's not a great idea to have the trolling motor down while driving a boat with the big motor.

@Wired2Fish3 жыл бұрын
Yes. It has more to do with the angle of the bottom and the hardness of the bottom. If it's a lot of really hard rock or its on a steep slope, you are going to lose a clean single. Generally speaking, Livescope reads better in open water and softer bottoms and becomes more distorted on harder sharper edges.

What about bass fishing with a crank bait? I have only been able to see my crank bait once with livescope. I'm not talking a small crank bait either, usually I am throwing a DD22. I have tried these settings and they work perfect for me minus seeing the crankbait. Usually I set the range out about 50-70 feet and I am trying to hit brush in 20 feet of water (tops about 12-15 feet). I usually keep the brush about 40-50 feet away from me

@@BassFlatsBeyond Livescope works good in water deeper than 5 feet in Forward mode. Shallower than that and it just can't see out very far in front. So they turn it on the side so it can see out further. I was finding big shellcrackers this spring by getting in the backs of creeks on Kentucky Lake in 2 feet of water and then sweeping and looking 40 feet out in front of me and finding their beds to catch them. So I could see 40-50 feet in 1 or 2 feet of water. With forward view on Livescope in 2 feet of water, you would see maybe 5-10 feet because the beam is narrow and angled down as much as forward.
