Just because you have livescope

[RUGER]

Doesn't mean they will bite.
Fished this school for about 30 minutes yesterday. Threw several different things at them and caught a total of 2.
Crappie are a lot like women. Fickle, never know what they want to eat and lots of times stoopid!!!
The structure is circled, everything else is fish.

Oh and two different times I saw smaller suspended groups of 10-15 fish and as soon as the beam hit them they scattered like quail and hit the bottom!!!
Seen it before.
Oddly enough I have never seen an adverse reaction from it on bream.

Oh and I know what you will be doing @cbhunter
And yes I know my boat is filthy

You just weren't throwing the right thing to em

We've all been there

 

[Spurhunter]

People that have never used livescope, yet know everything about it, will tell you it's automatic limits every time. That is definitely not the case.

What it's like teaching livescope to new users.

blacks are spooky. on average ky lake is about 60-70% black crappie but before livescope very few folks could catch them. sonar pings, getting too close, bumping the boat and even a thunder cloud will shut them down.

blacks are spooky.

Pretty sure that's racist.

I remember seeing that when I was a kid and me and my dad still say "heeeere fishy fishy fishy". :)

True!

It's definitely not a guaranteed bite. It takes way more skill and effort compared to those spider rigging guys that just mount a bunch of poles and troll around picking up fish. I mean… why not just go to petco and let them give you the net to go "fishing" with

We luckily had the opposite experience Saturday. Caught 40 or so and watched everyone of them bite it on the LiveScope. I pretty much only bass fish, so it was my first time to even try it on crappie. Was pretty cool and might have to do it more often

I can only partially see your face

So, LS seems to be all the rage now, but is that not what the Garmin Panoptix was years ago? I haven't really looked into it.

No doubt. But my problem is i cant find em. In the summer, i could fill the boat. They were always on deep structure. We could always make them bite eventually. Didngood in the winter, once again on deep structure. Now they just aint there. If they are shallow, im done!

Yes. They just keep improving on it.

Same thing.

Completely agree!

Have you shared your concerns with "The Anchor"?

 

[redblood]

Every crappie is currently on a diet, im convinced of it!

got a place that i wade fish when water drops out. at most it is two feet of mud under two feet of water. tough wading. but the fish get into the stick-ups, stake beds etc. we have never caught a black crappie in there. have had white crappie hit within 6 feet of us...
