- What I learned from Livescope is that it can be easy after many hours of doing it. However, there is one simple trick that will speed along that process. This video explains the one thing you should focus on more right off the bat.
Good stuff... Thanks
I always hear everyone say keep it above them, I have actually caught most of my larger crappie as the jig drops. They come off a tree from above and nail it, I love seeing it on LS 👍
I do keep it above them when I see them separate from cover.
Why do they all waste time with intros
To piss people off😳😳 sorry 😂😂 I was just goofing around with editing
3 seconds max. It's not by accident that the most successful youtuber doesn't have an intro.
Falling into $7000 to buy it would help too
Amen!...heck ...being able to afford a reliable bass rig first would help also!! Remember when a new tournament rig was less than $25k??🤣🤣
Yea, I am having trouble pulling the trigger on it myself, as so many people are saying it isn’t easy and it doesn’t put fish in the boat.
I would need a new graph and the live, easily over $3k. Do I want to put this on my 14 year old rig or do I wait for a new rig to get all the “fun stuff”
Been using a $1500 livescope setup for years. You don’t need $7000 to get started. 🙄
@@goodmanfishing if you have a compatible graph already yes, if you don’t then you need to buy a new graph to go with the scope transducer, that puts you over 3k unless you find a deal, and they don’t give them away
@ForesFishing you can get a 93sv for about 600 plus a black box and LVS32 for 1K. If you want a little higher end you can get an HDS Live 9 from Lowrance for $1K and Acrive Target gen 1 for $1K. If you already have a battery and trolling motor to mount it to you are set. Either way for $1600 you can get into FFS
Lol! They call A Rigs too easy too. But they're banned! 😅
Thank you for the truth
Imagine spending all that money on those electronics and the fish you livescoped still not biting.
It may be cheaper just to learn how to fish. It’s a little effort. I know that’s a lot for most. But you’d know where to go what to look for and how to approach it instead of just trying to look at your fancy fancy time machines. It’s not hard to locate fish or even catch them of your paying attention every year. Even making this video is limiting your time you can be on the water learning it frustrates me …. Happy Fishing
I’ve been fishing 20 years in tournaments, I have more time on the water than 99.9% of most people. I think I’ve done pretty well for myself in my career.
On the flip side I’ve learned more about fishing in 1 year with that fancy machine than I have in the past 5 years. Either way I can do both and enjoy both
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 👍✌️ Happy Fishing
It takes practice to perfect using livescope. My buddy just got a setup done on his pontoon boat and we tried using it for one day. So many more days needed lol
Been fishing with live scope for 2 years . The more you use it the more you learn love mine.
This is great advice. Not everyone has the time to experiment. I have learned A LOT using it to catch hybrid stripers and sandbass in the winter. When you catch 100+ fish in a day, you can learn so much about fish behavior as well as how the sonar works.
The reality is ive caught 1 sheephead, 2 whitbass, all year cuz of the scope. Ive caught 1 large and 1 small mouth with it using it just to find cover. So yea its not turn it on, see fish, cast and catch.
Is the garmin LVS32 still worth it?
100% accurate. I live on rayburn now and crappie fishing on my live scope has made me a 3X better live scoper for bass
Agree completely sandbass are really good practice targets as well.
let me know next time your at Rayburn or lewisville lake ill fish with ya babe you can set up my gamins and live scope
This is so good. I learned so much more the day I took my 9yo kid out just to teach him to throw a baitcaster. Lol The few casts I made was showing him how. I stayed out away from everything so he could just sling it accuracy be damned. Lol I don’t know why I let him talk me into paying to enter a little derby, but I did😂😂. I thought I would just chase some schools of white bass and maybe some little spots too. I spent 4 hours playing with the graph, picking backlashes and pointing saying throw over there😂. Little bit caught almost 17lbs of spotted bass and couldn’t even cast. 😂😂 crappie were key too. I didn’t know what I was seeing until we snagged a couple but there were schools of juvenile crappies 4 inches or even smaller all over the place in a couple of creeks. The bigger bass he caught were always around them.
Here’s something that you might not believe either, but I can even tell the difference in the bait because of what I learned from scoping crappie sometimes. It’s easy to see balls of threadfin or herring everywhere, but some of that bait you’re seeing close to the bottom might actually be schools of spot tails or emerald shiners instead. Crappie and spotted bass both love eating those things. Spots will lock onto them sometimes, and I know everyone is talking about them feeding up and keeping your bait above the right now, but if they’re feeding on spot tails, that’s one time they will definitely feed down on bait and use the bottom to pin them against. You can actually take something like an alewife rig and catch them if you want to know for sure that’s what you’re seeing.
Thread fin shad
@@fishingusa2051 yeah but we call them yellow tails down here. 😬😂
Todd how much more do u think u will use livescope in the future? Do u think it will take u further away from ur way of fishing, like what we in deep waters and Alabama waters. Like u fished before livescope.
I had the honor to know the Tech’s dad, John Jones! He helped a buddy by staying way late after closing to keep him in a big tournament.
I need a professional installer and may just call this young man. He has his father’s passion and knowledge.
I got the TM installed here at home it. Need to replace my Lowrance HDS with the 3 units and two brackets I just purchased
Great video🇺🇸
Great video. No LS is not as easy as some of the UA-camrs make it look. Not all waters do the Bass hang out and react like theirs. I've learned more about my LS by fishing ponds for Crappie perch and sunfish. Saw fish on bottom or brush and learned casting distance and accuracy. Then use this knowledge and experience where the bigger bass are. As Todd said, a lot of trash fish (mainly White Perch) all over the place. No shad so not a lot of suspended Bass and I usually go for the ones on the bottom
Exactly I'm southern mass ,northern ri. Most of the lakes are shallow and weedy . Hard to figure out where the fish are .
great video, its talen me 5 years to learn exactly what you are saying, of coarse im old now(70) and crappie have now become priority, thanks for the great video!!!
This puts people that do not own one at a disadvantage especially big bass tournaments for Big Bass so much that it's not worth fishing big bass tournaments anymore.... I'm not the only one that thinks this way I know three other men that said they're not fishing any more tournaments because they're too much in advantage and we're not going to spend $5,000 to keep up what's local tournaments that usually don't pay that much it's just not worth it anymore anymore I appreciate all the advice you give....but im out!!
Then don't fish the dang tournaments but quit bitching about it. No one cares anymore to hear you guys whining all the time.
For our northern pals, yellow perch are a great tool to learn livescope. Very tough starting off with bass if they are being finicky.
Spinning rod Todd !!
I will stick with old school fishing, it is more fun for me IMO
For someone who doesn’t play video games , it’s not that easy
Great advice! I'll let you know how it works.... First time with live scope!
How many DD's have you caught this year?
I am with you on the crappie, have had LS for 4 years now, mainly bass fish, but come across crappie a lot. I always have my light spinning outfit rig for crappie too. Heck it fun catching white bass in 30' of water jigging. Good information you putting out.
This “ means inches. You’re not fishing in 30 inches water
Thanks, I missed that .
I have an idea… turn off your Live Scope, see and hear your surroundings, enjoy the outdoors, leave the world behind at the boat ramp, and actually go fishing!
You must not watch my channel
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 My comment wasn’t directed at you… your is to all the guys that are fully in with FFS/Live Scope in the professional/college tournaments. I really tried to watch the Lake Fork tournament but it just made my distain stronger… I’m old enough to remember when weighing in 100+lbs was something very special… It feels like most of the pros are being forced into using FFS! Brian New, “it’s not really fishing”! 🎣
Awesome video. I am learning my Livscope and this is great advice.
Find some smaller stationary things and practice scanning back and forth until you can learn how to get the hardest return in the middle of your screen. Practice scanning on obvious trash fish and adjusting your unit too. I learned a lot catching sauger a couple of times. I figured it out even more taking the kids and chasing schools of white bass and little spots exactly like you described doing with crappie. I finally took my youngest just to teach him how to use a baitcaster. I didn’t cast except to show him. I stayed away from everything so he could just sling it. I picked backlashes, scanned and pointed where I wanted him to throw. Sometimes he got close.lol… He eventually caught 16lbs of spots and beat some straight sticks in a local derb😂😂. He learned a lot but I learned way more that day without catching anything…
That’s why I watch you is because you’re real brother
Preaching on a Tuesday 😂😂 Yessir them gar And bowfin have a high return can be confusing to some.
Crappies don’t have a chance. Best $2,500 you’ll ever spend.
Real problem is simple... you have to know where to look for fish. Many many many people me included don't have a spot we just suck and get a random bass every now and the .
If you suck before you will suck after FFS
Crappies don't stand a chance with livescope. I use livescope more for structure and to see what side to fish a structure. If you see a bait ball of shad. Even when there's no active feeding. There usually is predator fish (bass, cat, etc) on the bottom below. I enjoy livescope just to watch and learn fish mood. Especially seeing a group of bluegill, you can always find the younger fish chasing each other. It's life.
I’ve been trying to learn ActiveTarget on Lake Murray with stripers and crappie. It was nuts to me how many fish would chase my bait for 20-30 feet then just turn away. Stop the bait, they stop chasing. It’ll make feel like a hero one day and a zero the next lol
I don't fish for Crappie but you have no earthly clue how many schools of Crappie I've found on Tablerock just scanning my livescope around for Bass.
You know what makes you better at livescope America? Using livescope.
How long have you been using live scope
3 years
So very true I did this very thing. I bass fish every weekend but started to scope in the fall when crappie fishing is good and when I got my AT so I went crappie fishing first and it does help sooooo much this is spot on 100% true info from Todd. Crappie dont spook as easy and easier to catch at close distance and also they don't always run when u throw at them. Take this info and use it
The biggest thing I was having a hard time with was casting distance. I would think it was 15-20 feet and it would be a 30 foot cast.
great video, eventually when 50% of the field catch their fish with FF it will level the field but by then something new will come out where a monkey can win a tournament.
They show mostly fish catches on BASS and MLF. They don’t show the guys casting to fish and not catching them.
I can't explain how appreciative I am for answering my comment with this video, I'm starting to understand, I've seen crappie on mine never put 2 and 2 together thanks alot, it helped out a lot
Good video. Shared this with one of my fishing buddies. He loves to fish for crappie. I fish for bass or whatever hits my lure. Both of us need to get better with livescope.
Great tip. I read an article that said Dean Rojas was doing exactly what you’re recommending to get better at livescope.
Ive heard so many people say how you can cast more accurately with a spinning rod but for me I am much better with a baitcaster than a spinner rod .
Keep on them crappie and you'll give up on those ditch pickles.
“Thanks Todd, I’m just Learning, catching Crappie now”!🎣👍
Excellent advice! I still think you might be leaving out a few details! 😂
The Randy’s of the world that tell you how easy it is, are the ones that have never used it.
Three birds w one stone is efficiency in action! 💪🇺🇲
Really great advice on the live scope learning curve. Thanks. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips...I used to catch crappie before I got ffs😅
Great video. I have a question on your front graph setup if you don't mind. What bracket are you using to stack those two graphs? I have a ZXR20 and I am looking for a stack mount. Thanks.
Hennessy out of Dayton, TN
I appreciate your honesty….pls try and continue on the path of learning…the negativity of a guy like Randy bugs me cause he’s exploiting not adding value to the community
I don’t mind a good argument or good opinions but make them logical. I think making blatant statements to get a rise or cause controversy is not good. I agree with ya
@mattpangrac look at your little boy go with that spinning rod
Those are huge slabs. Is that on Rayburn? Recently?
Both Bass and Crappie will destroy a slow rolled spy bait.
What lews rod did you say you were using?
One of the best channels out there. Thank you
You got a new subscriber now
I’m sorry, get to the point
It’s ok no worries don’t have to be sorry
What do you mean get to the point😂😂😂😂 should the video just be the title. That’s the point, the video EXPLAINS the point. This isn’t a multiple choice test where there is an answer like….432 is the right answer. 🤦♂️
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I didn’t enjoy it. Good luck
Get on these videos I can’t wait!!!!
Good video Thanks
Those are beautiful crappie
No one thinks it’s easy
so very true, but a lot of fun
great video!
I love me some crappie!
Do use it
Good honest video.
100% true
Agreed 👍,,,
Your spot on.
Spinnin Rod Todd!
Well said Todd!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Great idea! Thanks.
Bring it on Mr Todd. You’re describing how I learned how to use my ffs. Never told anyone, but your spilling the beans. 😁👍💯
ban livescope
Live scope needs ve outlawed.
It didn't hurt me, it gave me dinner
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 profesdional don't need it.
Good luck with that’pro’ 😂😂😂
Randy? Is that you?
Found randy blaukuts burner account😂
Here's a trick...learn how to actually fish.
Hater 😂
During that first 55 seconds.... I thought I had accidently clicked on a randy blockhead video!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Todd. Come on man. live scope is easy. It’s truly the only tool that completely changed fishing. Livescope is easy and I love using it but tournament fishing has changed forever.
Define easy.
Achieved without difficulty or effort
@@GopherHayes Well, that’s not FFS. It takes more hours than most people fish to get half efficient with FFS. I’m talking bass fishing. Not crappie or schooling white bass.
I only fish bass and walleyes. Livescope was easy for me. Sorry you’re having a hard time Hopefully you figure it out
Thank You Brother! I like what U say 💯🎣Still trying to keep bait in that cone to view every cast..?
Yea, I am having trouble pulling the trigger on it myself, as so many people are saying it isn’t easy and it doesn’t put fish in the boat.
I would need a new graph and the live, easily over $3k. Do I want to put this on my 14 year old rig or do I wait for a new rig to get all the “fun stuff”
Go for it now ... Lots of graph deals on Bass boat central . Many still like the 1st gen of garmin LSV32 . Good way to start then you can always get the newer Transducer .
Livescope is Cheating and a total disgrace to the Fishing Industry. How in the HELL can anyone be proud of their Catch. it's like playing a Video game. SAD and SICKENING
Crappie fishing is awesome
Take it easy KEN! Get a life too!!
After you spend thousands of dollars on electronics and still can't catch em, don't worry, now all you need is thousands of dollars worth of new baits and tackle that are designed just for FFS. Hilarious! The only ones getting rich these days are the electronics companies who have succeeded at using the pro aglers as their whores to make the regular people think they need all this crap to catch fish. Kinda like those people who just golf for fun, spend thousands on clubs and still can't keep the ball on the fairway.
I like your opinions your keeping it real for us anglers 😎🎣🚤
