I'll show my successes AND my failures so you can all join in the fun and frustration that makes the sport of fishing so much fun! My goal is to try to make you feel like you're in the boat with me while we do our best to catch all kinds of fish! Thanks for coming fishing with me!
I primarily target crappie so most of the videos will be just that, however we'll also chase some other species to show how I catch those also. Other species we catch: Catfish, Hybrid Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Bream, Common Gar, Alligator Gar
Equipment:
Livescope Plus lvs34
GPSMap 1022
Summit Pole for the lvs34
Custom built clamp-on pole mount (so I can move the summit pole around the boat easily when needed)
Lowrance Elite Ti2-9

Summer Night Fishing For Crappie!! Full-Screen LiveScope Footage!!! Trip #21

When the temps climb in the summer it's time to get the lights out and hit the lake for some night time fishing! This time out I didn't do as well as I'd hoped but wanted to share the trip anyway and talk through the challenges of fishing at night with forward sonar (and in general). Daytime temp was 101 degrees on this day but it dropped into the upper 80's after it got dark. Surface water tem...

Crappie Fishing with Livescope Plus on Lake Darbonne! Full-Screen Livescope Throughout!!!
Just bought a used 2017 SunTrack Bass Buggy 18DLX. It's a little smaller that this one but it's basically the exact same build as your Ranger. Must just be re-branded. BTW mine has a Motorguide trolling motor. Very similar and in that same position. Gate goes over top no problem. Must be different mounting heights.
I tie my own jigs, so I can’t just swap plastic. I like to use a little clip instead of retying constantly. You never know if they want a big white jig, a tiny black jig, or a medium green jig. The clip saves me time and can get multiple jigs down much faster. Also the loose clip allows the jig to hang horizontally without straightening the knot. Great videos as always!
Enjoyed your video review!
Thank you! It's a great family boat and a fish-catching machine too!
That was freaking awesome!!! 😎🤙🔥🤣💪🤛🏻🐟🎣💯
Thank you! I really need to put down my jig pole and get back out to the river to chase some big stuff again
A great video-thank you!
That’s fantastic!! I’ll have to give it a look when they come out. Right now I have a T handle that I turn left and right which works pretty well. Thanks for the information
I fish those exact piles. Usually holds smaller fish. Every now & again u can get some good 1’s out of there.
There are so many great spots all along the dam on that lake! I am thinking about loading my boat up with a bunch of brush and sinking it out there and posting the coordinates on here for everybody. I'm about to have to cut two trees down on my property so will have loads of good structure to put down - will probably do that soon to make some good deep winter spots out there for all of us. *You are right that for a lot of the year it's smaller fish on that mid-depth brush. Fall is when I have caught the big ones off there - I think as they migrate off the banks and weeds moving towards the deeper water where we find them all winter.
Does the lvs34 look much clearer than the 32. I have been following you since you started and to me there’s a difference in the video. I have the 32 just trying to justify another $1200 for the 34. Thanks and I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much! So I've fished a LOT this past year and some of that has been with a friend that has the 32. His is set up portable like mine and he brings it on the boat so we get to see side-by-side. I'd say the LVS34 is maybe ~30% more clear if you're fishing within 40ft. Past that I'd say the difference starts jumping and the 34 will let you accurately target crappie much further. That's a lot just to say basically - if you fish < 40ft from the boat I'd stick with the 32 because you can still load the boat and see good enough. If you fish further than that the 34 is much much better and may be worth the investment. *I'm about to release my cable-steer foot rotator for transducer poles within the year that is, in my opinion, the best thing ever if you use a transducer pole. I'm still working with manufacturers so don't have final pricing but if you're looking for an upgrade I really really love the thing and can't say enough good about it.
4:50 I understand what you're saying but it seems like it's been a headache due to someone not taking their time to do the job correctly. Love the review. Thank you.
Thank you! Yes you are correct on the install being done poorly for the replacement bimini. I have changed to a different dealership now to do any work on the boat and could not be happier with the new place. They fixed the issues with the bimini and even fixed some other things the original shop messed up on that I had not noticed. They even took pictures of the railing where the original shop caved it in with an impact wrench in case it fails so that it can be fixed under warranty. I felt like I may have complained more than I should have in this video but wanted to make sure all the minor bad stuff got covered. The boat overall is outstanding and I still smile every time I take it out - which is often! **The new bimini is beginning to show signs that the wire may have a similar issue to the original one (when you press the lower/raise button it delays and eventually stops working completely as the wire stretches/breaks). Keeping an eye on it but just a heads up to any potential buyers or current owners to keep an eye on that.
Oh, don’t tell me that you’re one of those people that pulls a tubes in circles around my boat while I tried to fish… lol
Oh dang, that was you?!?! My bad!! hahaha, nah I spent way too long fishing out of a small boat to get close to anybody while spinning the kids around.
Love your videos just need them more often 😢
Thank you! Hope to have more time now that the weather is too cold for my kids to keep a tube tied to the back of my boat!
Great video man, very helpful
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice video! James is there a reason that to have the distance set at 40’, when you constantly fished at 20’ or less?
Thank you! So I rarely set my distance closer than 40 feet because I wind up pitching/casting to 30-40ft and it gives me some leeway to correct the lure's position. So if I go too far left/right I can drag it back over and still have time to put it exactly where I want it when I'm approaching the fish. Now if the fish are spooky and I have to set up further then I just have to be good with the casts that day (or re-cast a lot in my case hahaha)
Great video, super informative.
Thank you!
Man, that’s fun to watch. Been fishing here in Indiana and about the only thing that works is small profile jig tipped with sparkle crappie nibble. So much fun! Great video!!
Bob!!! That is exactly what I used this weekend that caught us some big ones. Those sparkle nibbles seem to disintegrate faster than the normal ones but they sure did work. My foot-rotator is coming along and I'm getting final testing done so we can get the plastic molds made now. The main box will now be made of stainless steel as it is somehow cheaper than plastic (who knew?). Anyway, all that to say I still have one coming for you, just taking longer than I expected to get manufacturing going.
What is a foot rotator?
Great videos by the way. I love to watch the fish’s reaction to the bait. You have it setup perfectly. Thanks
@@destinsboggybayouinshorech1154 Thanks so much for watching! I actually spent the last 1+ year engineering and patenting a mechanical device that lets you rotate the transducer pole using your foot (no batteries/motors). Not just blowing smoke, it is outstanding and I never fish without it any more. It attaches to almost any existing transducer pole and can be added/removed in about 10 seconds. In the final stages of prototype testing with the new metal foot box design and hope to have the first batch manufactured and in boxes soon.
@@destinsboggybayouinshorech1154 Thank you! It takes a lot of editing hours but I have fun getting to rewatch my fishing trips. I feel like I get twice as much experience out of every day on the water now that I can watch over what worked or didn't work.
Thanks for doing these videos. The livescope and boat view, at the same time, are the best way to show what you're doing. Very educational.
Thank you, so glad you like the videos! Now if I could just get the fish to cooperate like this every time I go out I could make these kind of videos more often hahaha!
Awesome video and an amazing perspective to see it from. We need more of this.
My first was a 32 lb flat
Enjoy your videos , how can I contact you ? #
Thanks so much! Almost didn't want to put this video out there but wanted to have an honest channel and show that even those of us that are on the water every week have bad days/nights. You can message me right here is the fastest way as I'll get a notification on my phone. For business inquiries my email is highqualityfishingvideos@gmail.com

@@patrickmatthews4475 Hey, I actually set it all up myself after doing a lot of research.

I really enjoy your content. Thanks for posting the good and the bad. I’ve thought about trying out the livescope at night but my concern for finding my bait has now been confirmed. Lol Please keep the great videos coming. I know there’s a ton of LS settings videos on UA-cam. But I’d love to see a video of how you set up yours. Have you posted one that I’ve missed? Or is there any chance of a future video of LS set up (settings). Thanks
Scratch that request. I hadn’t made it far enough back on your video list. Thanks again!
@@bartsmith5221 Thank you! Was just about to send you a link to it but you found it faster than I saw your message! I night fish pretty often in the summer to stay out of the heat and to avoid the boat traffic on busier lakes. This was probably the worst/noisiest water I've seen all year as far as bait fish everywhere and the target fish moving every 5 seconds. One trick you can do on nights like that to help you find your lure VERY fast on the screen after casting is thread 10 or so bobber stoppers a foot or two above your jig. They pop up pretty well and are easier to find on the screen during noisy-water nights like this one was.
@@HighQualityFishingVideos That’s a great tip! I appreciate it.
Good to see you back. Enjoyed as usual!
Hey Bob!! Thank you for the comment! My little gadget is coming along and getting close to manufacturer-ready now. First one I torture-test and know it is ready will be sent your way! Thanks again for being my very first commenter when I started this channel!
Hey, my pleasure. So glad I found your channel!
I really enjoy your content bud. Perhaps it would be worth keeping a few glow sticks in the boat that you could tape to the top of livescope pole. Was this full moon?
Thanks you! Haha, great minds think alike because I have done that for my pole tip in years past and even have some of those glowstick bobbers that worked well. I have a small flood light on the front rail now that lets me see my transducer pole and rod. The toughest part on this night was getting a lure to them before they moved (they were on the move big time). Once I gave up targeting individual fish and went back to just fishing the edges of the light without even looking at the scope I caught a few more. The moon wasn't quite full but was very bright for the first few hours until the cloud cover came in.
Thanks for the video. Love to see the Darbonne videos. Are the mosquitoes bad down that way? I was thinking about taking a camping trip down that way next spring
@@jeffgammon1392 Thank you! The mosquitoes are not much worse around Darbonne than anywhere else in the south really. We camp around here and up into Arkansas quite often and it's pretty much the same. South louisiana is a whole different story though! The bugs I was fighting out on the open water in this video are some other type of bug I think because I have never been bitten by them. But they swarm at dusk and right before dawn and will get everywhere unless you have mosquito coverings. Those little nets that go over your hat are worth their weight in gold!
I just got my first "tooner" boat and so far am loving it! I've had 7 boats over the years, latest was an Astro bass rig. I also rebuilt my dads BlueFin 19' aluminum which he gave me, but now being old aged, can't use it like i would like, so it's on the for sale block. Only issue I have with my Pontoon is getting on it when on the trailer. My knees and back fight me the whole time. My wife and I are in our 60's now and health issues have set in. Two of our daughters convinced us to go "toon". Glad we did! Having fun setting it up how we want now. GR8 vid and I thank you for your review!!! Ours is a 20' also! Perfect size for us!
Oh man, that is awesome. I know you guys are loving all the space in the new boat! I think you've probably got a lot more experience fixing up boats than me and that's saying a lot cause I worked on my old bass boat all the time! Thanks for the kind words about the vid and good luck out on the water the next time you go fishing!
I never even considered a pontoon for fishing until I have watched some of your videos. As I near retirement I think this could be a great option
Congratulations on the upcoming retirement! I was so worried that I would regret the boat and that the size would be an issue, but now I really don't think I'll go back to a smaller boat again. My aunt is retired also and she just got this exact same boat after going out in mine a few times. She says the same thing I do, that you just can't beat it for comfort/stability. Haha, you will need a longer net to land the fish though! Good luck out there!
What part of the river were you at? I fish at the very end of it right where it turns into the black river.
This was up near the Monroe/West Monroe area. Somewhere north of the bridge but don't recall the exact spot. I was just trolling along side scanning for structure and saw that big tree out in the middle so I stopped to take a look. It's funny, I have fished the Tensas River and the Ouachita River and you're fishing right where the two of those meet! I bet that is a great spot to pick up some big fish!
How did you set your live scope at what degrees did you have it toward the bottom or just shooting straight out?
Hey thanks for watching my fishing video! I don't have an exact angle and it changes a bit every time I go out due to my portable mount setup, but I try to get it where the upper beam is parallel with the water. That seems to give the best picture for me, but it probably varies +- 10 degrees on every trip out for me. One thing I did while initially getting my picture clear and adjusting settings is pulled up to a few stumps/trees and adjusted everything. I moved a few times to get the trees at various distances to make sure the picture was solid and after I was happy locked it in and took a picture of my settings so I wouldn't forget. Good luck out there!
Really cool, I have a patent pending as well, mine is quite a bit different but similar in concept..😎👍
nice vid and nice split screen too. good job
Thank you!
What size is your pontoon?
Hey, thanks for watching! My pontoon boat is a Ranger 200F and it is a 22ft boat with about 20ft of deck space.
These are the videos I watched. Watching jig and fish reaction can teach me more than just watching someone bring them over the rail. Thanks for sharing this content
Thank you for watching and taking time to leave a comment! Heading out to a different lake this weekend and hopefully able to find a few fish out there!
Just need to remove that gate, then take that plastic cap, cut a little of the gate off, reinstall everything. Shouldn’t actually be to hard.
Thanks a lot i like your pontoon i am handy cap that is the type of pontoon i need
I love your vids .. I bought the lvs 34 last year and haven’t been able to fish as much as I like because of work man I would love to pay you to teach me a few tricks to it I stay in Mississippi but I could come to you any day you are able to!! If so how can I contact you or I can send you my number
Thank you so much for the kind words. I have considered getting into guiding or electronics teaching and such, but I'm like you where my available time is just almost zero. Two small kids and a demanding job soak up most of my time and it is tough to find more than a day or two each month to hit the water. Now that said, I have a camera and can record my livescope screen so if you have any questions that I might could answer or take a quick video for you to help I'm more than happy to try to help. Toughest thing for me when I first got started was keeping my jig in the beam - which is still very tough on windy days!
@@HighQualityFishingVideos I def understand that and yes that’s one of my problems to but if you do ever decide to give on the water lessons I want your first booking!
@@scrap3223 I will do it! I fully expect my retirement job to be guided fishing trips one day, but it's a long way off yet. *If you do have any specific questions or issues though please hit me up and I'm happy to help if I can
Im sure that you get asked this every video, but what garmin unit are you using? Great video
Thanks for watching! No problem at all, I'm using the LVS34 and the GPSMap1022.
Nice video I’m in Alexandria Louisiana been wanting to hit darbone
Thank you! It's definitely worth a drive up. I have friends/family that drive past several other lakes to come to Darbonne in the fall/winter time.
How do you like your pontoon boat compared to a bass boat. It looks comfy! I am trying to decide on a pontoon vs a bass boat.
Hey thanks for watching my fishing video! So, before this boat I had a 1984 bass tracker that I worked on a lot to keep it floating and the motor running. I loved that boat and caught a ton of crappie out of it. But now that I have the pontoon, I don't think I'll ever go back to a bass boat again. Putting aside the fact that I have small children and friends/family that are in wheelchairs - the boat is just a dream to fish out of. My concerns before I got the boat were mainly towing it, launching/loading it solo, and maneuverability around the timber I fish often. After more than a year I can say none of those have been issues even once. I actually think I bang into the submerged trees on Darbonne less now than when I had my smaller boat lol! Good luck with whatever you decide, either one will catch plenty of fish!!
Love your videos. Maybe you can show your pedal and how you made your invention
Thanks so much! I'm working with an engineering firm and manufacturer now, hope to have the first batch ready for sale towards the end of the summer or early fall!
Will the gate open the other way
No, the gates only swing open inward towards the interior of the boat
Good videos man. Just starting to learn Darbonne myself. Have fished a radius around the bridge mostly. Live in Arcadia now, so not far. Learning Claiborne as well. Claiborne sacs seem to be more finicky than Darboone sacs.
Thanks so much! Claiborne in the summer time is some of the toughest crappie fishing in the area. The fish that are on the brush piles or in the timber get super-pressured and it's tough to get a bite. I do love Claiborne for the stripers though, man do they fight hard! They get shallower this time of year and I usually just look across the lake for the birds and start looking for the stripers wherever the birds are. Darbonne is outstanding year round though and once you learn the general areas they migrate around across the seasons you'll be able to catch dinner any time you want. Good luck out there!
Up here in mich we do lots of trolling on the Great Lakes. I’m looking for a ti toon with fishing in the rear only. My wife wants lots of lounging room up front. I’m doing my research and taking my time. I’ll be selling my 19ft deep v StarCraft fisherman. I hope I’m doing the right thing!
So I've been wanting a pontoon boat for 20+ years, but even still I had a ton of fear that I'd miss my smaller boat. Now over a year in I don't think I'll ever be able to go back. It just spoils you every time you get in with all the open space and stability. I've never done any trolling in mine, but I imagine the multiple spots for seats in the rear would work really well for that. Good luck with whichever model you wind up choosing!
Great video
The screen is dialed in 👍🏻
When the jig looks the same size as the fish - its generally because it is. Looks like fun !
Haha, I think I have crappie jigs bigger than the little one for sure! Definitely a fun day out there
Man, so much fun watching a crappie come flying out of the brush in attack mode! Kind of like digging potatoes..the next one is going to be that big one, if you know what I mean! Good video!!
It is wild watching those things come out of there! They've made me jump out of my seat a few times just because of the suddenness that they slam into a lure rushing it from the brush!
Just wanted to be first to comment.
Hahaha! Thank you for the first comment on the video!
I enjoy watching your videos. Your videos are the highest quality videos I’ve seen. Thanks for posting…
@@danayo8852 Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking time to leave the kind words!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
What part of the lake is best for summertime fishing for crappie? I’ve only been on darbone twice and didn’t do well at all. First time was without livescope, second time the wind was 14 mph, and water white capping. Any info would help and be appreciated!
So my summer time info might be a little skewed because I generally night fish in the summer to beat the heat and boat traffic. But I mostly stick to flats near the deep channels - or hit the mid-to-deep water docks. Brush piles can be productive too, but it's hit or miss on finding good ones. I usually start out close to the main channel and work my way in until I figure out where they're holding or suspending. Good luck out there!
I’m kinda new to the area and was wondering what part of darbonne do you fish ? Where do you put in at ?
This time of year you can put in at just about any of the boat ramps (I favor stowe creek and the main ramp in farmerville). Then you can just roam around trying spots just off of the channels until you figure out where they're holding. I honestly don't have a go-to spot in the summer since the fish tend to scatter all over this time of year. Deeper docks or brush piles can sometimes be good, but the flats near the channel are where I generally start. Good luck out there! If you have trouble reach back out or stop off at K+M and they'll give you some good food and pointers!
I build these boats and funny I came across this randomly 😂
You build some amazing fish-catching machines. I get a smile on my face every time I step onto the deck!
@@HighQualityFishingVideos maybe one day I'll have one and test it out.
