Thanks for watching guys! What is your opinion on livescope? Hit that subscribe button and come join the family! God bless!

I agree with you 100%... I myself have a very low end lowrance just to see how deep im fishing and water temp... to me livescope takes the fun and enjoyment out of fishing... I guess they can you and I and others like us old school ... keep up the great work and God bless Brother..

When you have "mad" skills you don't need livescope to catch fish! Keep up the good job! Love your channel and videos!

The only people who complain about live scope are the ones who don't have it. I know because I was that person until...it's like a video game can be a challenge and can be some good trips. You gotta put in the time it won't just throw them in the boat. My opinion if you got it why not use it just because someone thinks you shouldn't. Legal. Love the vids brother and God Bless🙏🏿🎣💯

Well said. The anticipation/surprise of the thump/bite along with the thrill of the hunt is what keeps me addicted. Keep the great vids coming!

Great vid and great knowledge sharing as always. I am not into livescope also, I rather catch them the old way.

got my first spinning set up like a month ago and got on some drum and cats in kansas, im back home in ga and got my first crappie from the bank and your channels been helping me out allot. just subbed thanks for the info!

this is my favorite video I agree with your reasons for not using livescope

I agree with . I have Lowrance that comes with active target but I don’t prefer to stand on the screen all day I just use it to locate the fish that’s it .

Totally agree. I fish with live scope because I want to. I'm not doing it to impress anyone and could care less if someone is or isn't impressed. Its all about putting fish in the frying pan! Fish on!

This is one of my favorite videos. I think for just casual relaxing day of fishing the hunt and the time should be valued. I feel that I learn more if I have to figure it out!

This is my favorite video because I have been back and forth about live scan and weather or not to get it and you showed me that I dont need it to be successful

I like your old school point of view. I have a Garmin 93 but no live scope. I quit tournament fishing years ago because they took the fun out of fishing.

Oh man... stepping in a hornets nest here! I use it... it helps me find fish - not catch fish. I can also fish structure that I normally wouldn't know is there unless it's a familiar lake. I also think it helps me jig fishing vs minnows which will do 50% of the work for me. It's more work for sure to LS fish but I enjoy the hunt and not wasting my time. You can do a lot with SI and downscan as well but you have to be a little more savy in how your fish. I also like being able to target a specific fish (larger size, one that is perched on a limb). LS will also tell me if a fish does or doesn't like the presentation or color/size by how they react - follow it, stare at it, bump it... you still have to know how to fish to fill the cooler!

I pretty much agree with you about Lscope . One might make the point that it takes very little skill and a whole bunch of money just to watch a fish take your bait . Anticipation in fishing is one of the best things about it imo . I've always been about the " thump " . Aint nothing like it . Grew up casting to stumps with a jig and bobber or fishing brushpiles on the ledges . And it still works .

That's the main reason I watch your channel

Thanks for allowing people who don't have live scope a learning opportunity to learn

Learning so much from all your vid's. I really appreciate you for sharing your technics as I am a new Crappie angler I caught one out Bass fishing and didn't even know they were on this river! So now I am trying to catch them I got out one day in the kayak for a few hours I didn't find any but I have been watching a ton of your vids and I am ready for this weekend to give it another try !!! Again thank you and Hanna for sharing info!!! 🎣😎

One thang I wish I did before get live scope is to get spot lock on the trolling motor. More helpful than the live scope. Be safe everyone

Outstanding video, I agree with you on the live scope. But to each their own. Great job

Great vid . I got Livescope as an add-on to the 93sv. I use it to see exactly where branches are, if there are fish or no fish, correct my hook depth, and to look if I haven't been bit in a while. I refuse to stare at a screen on the weekend sitting on a Texas lake.

What’s up 903 fam, FYI Caleb this is my other account so when you see Marquette or Marq Brown on your channel it’s the same person. Any hoo! I totally agree with you I started fishing without any electronics then I bought a fish finder and then I was convinced to buy livescope about a month 1/2 ago. So like you always say it doesn’t matter as long as you are putting fish in the boat. I appreciate you and all of your videos so keep up the great work, haters are going to hate anyway.

Nothing to say about Livescope, but a thousand thanks for being a school teacher!

Caleb the way you pUt fish in the boat you don’t need lives ope besides that would take the fun out of fishing to start with. You just got to know how to fish for them. That’s why you are teaching us how to fish for crappies. Love your Chanel keep up the good work and I’ll see you on the next one 👍❤️

Great Video! I agree with everything you said about livescope!

I agree with everything that you said. Some of the tournaments here have rules that state that you can't use livescope. I can't see spending that kind of money . Keep up the great work. God bless.

Great video you can add to it by showing people how to put out their own tops totally old school if you use Willow tops you can fish on it in a week thanks again

I've been watching for a little while and I've been wandering why you say" I want to thank you for comedy " finally I understood you say "thank you for sharing and commenting " 😂

Like your answer. Especially on staring at a screen whole time. I think it's alot more interresting with all your styles of fishing 903. 903 rocks.

Agree Buddy , I use it most of the time for open water, and to see if timber is holding fish that way I don't waste time on timber that is empty. during creek season most of the time is bank fishing, good video👍👍see ya

keep it simple my friend, you are my all-time favorite KZfaqr love the way you just keep it simple and catch Plenty of Fish.

I enjoy watching you because you don't use live scope just 2D and down imaging like I have on bow and side image on console. I'm still happy to throw my orange bouy markers like you do

Saw an advertisement sign for live scope today that said something like “quit fishing and start catching”. Interesting thought.

Love the channel I have the Dow scan sonar mounted on the back of my boat never really learned how to use it to my advantage. I’ll keep watching and hopefully you’ll cover that setup on how to use it to catch more toads

Your so correct

I like this video because it reminds me when I started fishing. Going out and reading banks, land, finding structures by bottom fishing and remembering it. I like using electronics, they fun but when it’s time to fish with love of the sport, all you need a body of water and a pole.

2d and clearvu is all you need 👌

I have livescope but wish I could catch a tenth of what you catch w/o it. Love your channel, keep it up bud!

Another good video, I missed it when it came on, I have been under the weather for a few days and didn’t feel up to much of anything.

I agree about it’s the excitement of the thump when vertical jigging and waiting for that bobber to go down. If you like livescope then more power to you and use it.

I was going to invest in live scope, but I went a few bucks more and got dynamite! Couple of sticks with that and those babies come floating to the surface with no problem! I scoop up what I need and head for home. Live scope is for people who don’t have dynamite!

If I could afford it I would have one. I have fished on boats with live scope and you can see plenty of fish but that don’t mean they will bite. I feel it helps eliminate areas with no fish. It is the future just as it has progressed from the old flasher units, 2d, mega DI, Mega SI, also what about power poles, spot lock

I agree with everything you said. My reason for not having is the cost. I can't justify $2000 for a setup & then not use it every day!

Great Job !

For me catching sacalait with Livescope is the best thing invented since braided fishing line..👍🏿👍🏿

Thanks for sharing!

I agree with everything you said. It's more fun not to know what you are going to catch.

I have been debating on the Garmin 93sv or getting a humminbird 9 mega SI. I agree that staring at a screen takes the enjoyment out of fishing. to me you wouldnt get the enjoyment out of seeing nature and the surprise of the bite. Where I fish there are numerous bald eagle nests and I get to see them flying around all the time. not to mention the deer along the shore line.

What’s the difference between staring at livescope and staring at a cork 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣?? What’s the difference between traditional sonar and livescope??

I 100% agree. It really does take the joy out of fishing. The big figuring out part. Fished with a friend with heir live scope and ... I'll be fine with a regular 2d Fish Finder. Don't get me wrong it's pretty cool that live scope. But I like to fish

Soon as this heat wave is over going to pickwick dam and do some slipcorking if I don’t fall and hurt myself everything is harder when you are dissabled

I've never used one wish I could afford one but I'll just keep on hunting for them

Thanks for the awesome video! I agree with everything you said!

Some people say livescope is like fishing in a barrel WELL if there are no fish in the barrel you can’t catch them and that my friends is what I livesope tells you in seconds not hours of wasted cast

Good explanation. Your target audience is regular people that wants to learn how to catch Crappie and just wants to go fishing without spending an arm and a leg! And you deliver?

Greats points Caleb on LS. Well said.

Awesome vid bro !!! Thanks for sharing !!🐟🎣

I agree with you Caleb that anticipation is the fun part of fishing. Great video once again. You’re doing well and I’m hopefully going to contact you next June or July for a crappie trip.

Love the video!

Great Video !!!!! this is the same reason I Fish !!!!!

The only Issue with Live scope is will it Damage the fish population in the long run in some smaller lakes ! The reason I don't get one is the state fish and game may out -law them .

Whats the best way to find brush piles? Just getting in to fishing and have no idea how to find the "spots"

I agree. It is costly and maybe good for tourneys, but for fun fishing, it is a huge expense that is hard to justify. I don't use it. My wife wants one. Maybe someday, but I bet we will sell it after a season. LOL

I totally agree with you on the live scope. What is your opinion on the helix 2 depth finder s.

I understand your stance but I'm older and had several heat strokes and don't get to fish as much as you younger folks. So livescope gets me there faster. So it somewhat cuts down on my time in high heat situations. I also did it old school way and caught fish I started with flashers.

I have livescope and use it. But........... It doesn't guarantee you that you will catch anything. It is a tool and you have to learn how to use it. I never limit. In fact, if I catch 5 to 7 crappie in a day at my lake, I consider it a good day. Now there are more crappie in some lakes, so, I guess mileage will vary on that one. Since I was a boy, I always wished I could see what was happening under the water. Just for fun..... And I must say I enjoy using livescope for that as well as catching fish. As far as anticipation, I still think you can have that with Livescope. It is exhilarating to see fish chasing your lure, but, most don't bite. When you finally feel that bump, it is good ! I do love your way of fishing though and I am going to try your method more often. I use my console electronics to find brush piles and then use the livescope and trolling motor to accurately drop a bouy marker beside the brush pile. Then I plan to use your slip bobber method. As far as livescope, there will always be people that hate it, especially if they are more traditional type fisherman. Just by the way, I also have jet skis and there are many fisherman that hate them as well. I always try to be considerate while riding since I am a fisherman as well, but, I still get the looks...... Finally, I worked 30 years in technology for the school system in Georgia as well. Thanks for all you do. Any way love your methods and the success you have with them.

Another good vid homie...most agree with all you said because you said it well and respectful. Anticipation of the thump or cork dump is so addictive and satisfying when it happens. Question: How many minnows do you usually buy on a trip considering your thread technique? And your "Tank" calls have been off on some of your reel ins.. tighten up your calls homie..😂

Love the video you did a great job as always.😊 All I have is a regular fish finder as well that's all you need in my opinion!! Could have the other I choose not to! I hope the watchers are paying attention to little details in your videos. Curious if you have spot lock on your trolling motor? You have a good and blessed day😎.

Could you do a video of how you have your setting on your helix 7

can you show us how the fish finder works? where is the transducer?

Thank you 903, Question do you ever fish North Carliona

Nice shirt I just got mine

Fantastic video and I fully agree. To me it takes the fun out of being on the lake. Do you have a video where you show how you mark a brush pile with a buoy to know exactly where the brush pile is and how to fish it ? Thanks again for a great video

Caleb that theory about using small minnows in the summer that worked for me 40 years ago when I went fishing for crappie and it works for bass to just thought I would say that 👍

Hey Caleb, great video!! Hey do you leave your marker buoys out after your done fishing or pick them up? Just curious.

I ordered the viper 1000 from pisicfun and used your code 👍

I’m pretty late commenting on this video, but what reel is that if you don’t mind me asking? Is it a Penn? Great video!!

I’ll have a boat and live scope at some point in my life!

I totally agree about the livescope. I have a question about bank fishing for crappie right now in the heat of the summer. I would imagine it would be difficult since they are deep right now. Is bank fishing for crappie possible this time of year?

👍

I understand what's a good beginner electronic you think I should get that's not live scope?

What kind of setup do you use for night fishing for crappie ? Do you fish brush piles at night?

What are the setting on the graph,is that clear view.

I've been fishing the water for 5 decades. Call me ol skool but I don't want live scope. I've sat boat to boat with the guys that have it on several occasions and catch fish when they can't. I've heard them tell me time and time again that their bait is in front of the fish and they wont bite it yet my wife setting on the back of our boat is hauling them in...lol. I've also noticed that when you get live scope you have to crowd everyone on the bow or at least most of them do. Not me, we have an old system that works really well. It's not just knowing where to fish. It's also knowing what to fish with and presentation. Ok I'm off my stool now. I really like your channel btw young man.

Nice video

Nothing wrong with live scope. Me personally, the way I see it. My great grandfather, grandfather and father loaded up on crappie without it, I can too. I just like fishing old school

Awesome video.! Does the crappie take your cork down?

The crappie I’m catching right now are cool to the touch when they come out of the water . I notice it soon as I grabbed the first fish I caught

While you do not use LiveScope, you do use electronics. I have been out with people that have LiveScope, and like you, seems odd they spend the day staring at a screen. I have a small 12' aluminum fishing boat. I have limited room for electronics. The Garmin ice fishing bundle with LiveScope, small backpack size, will be perfect for my boat. Not just because of the LiveScope option, but it provides a lot of other good information to help target fish. If you do not think LiveScope is required, which of the Garmin ice fishing bundle would you buy to use in a small boat?

Great thing about fishing is who cares how other people fish. Its you vs the fish

bend that ACC brother, what happened to the sunday live, did i miss it?

What line size you use slip corking and hook size?

What are using for bait in video? Minnows?

Man I hate to see you throw them back fishing in Baton Rouge is hard right now

Everybody has a right to their opinion. The problem in this world today seems to be, if you don't see it my way then you are wrong and there is something wrong with you. I wish everyone could just accept everyones opinion. It does not mean you have to agree, but we all still can get along.

My boat came with a Mega 360, have you used one?

Are you working that minnow back to you constantly? and Does the mouth back rigging of the minnow kill it quicker than in tail or mouth rig? Good video

The only part I like about Livescope is when I am ice fishing. It will save me a lot of time for drilling since ice fishing is not that easy to move around and try to find fish

In my opinion using minnows is the best way to catch Crappie sometimes you can catch 2-3 maybe 4 off of one minnow that’s awesome I like fish like that plus when the minnow eye balls is half popping out of minnows head they still go crazy after that minnows if you know what I talking about

Fellows as you know it’s not the livescope that puts the fish in the boat for you, if your a good fisherman you really don’t need it, if you can find fish and catch them before livescope ever came along really you don’t need it, but it’s nice to have if you can afford it.😊
