Long story but I sold my Livescope to Ruger. These are the kind of reactions I'm getting.

I'm sure I'll cave eventually, but for my crappie fishing I do fairly well without it, and I enjoy jigging shallow water in the spring and spider rigging the rest of the year. I'm just not sure you get the same experience staring at a screen all day. (This from a guy with two 9" units at the bow and another 9" plus a 5" at the console 
). But the livescopers catch fish. They catch the limit and leave before I do usually. I don't consider more time on the water torture though.

Lol that's awesome!
It's just another tool. I caught tons of fish without one, but I can see how it can help in certain conditions.
Funny story. We used to have a place at Sardis Lake Mississippi and fished it a lot. We bought all our crappie jigs from Mid South Tackle out of Jonesboro,AR. They made us some hats that were bright pink and we would all wear them when we were on the water.
One evening we decided to eat dinner at the Holiday Lodge restaurant down by the boat ramp.
We were seated, placed our order and there were 4 guys at the table next to us talking about how they had done fishing that day. Nobody had caught many fish, then this one guy says out of the blue. "If you see any guys out there fishing wearing bright pink hats , head their way cause those jokers are catching fish."
We all got a kick out of that and the next day we all switched to chartreuse green hats.

I have found the art of long line trolling for crappie the most fun and rewarding for me ..... thanks to Richard Simms
I grew up fishing the Alabama river, north of Montgomery. My father and I used to catch our limit of Crappie with cane poles and minnows fished along fallen trees lying in the water. Now, several decades later with a much better boat and electronics, I can never seem to catch fish like my father did. I need retraining ;o)
