I Installed a Garmin unit with LiveScope yesterday on customer' boat and we went out today to put it through the paces. In short, all I can say is that in the two hours we spent on the water I do not want to fish on another boat without it. Wow!! What a game changer. It is like playing pool and calling your shot.
What amazed me the most was how straight out of the box and with two easy adjustments to the settings we were targeting and picking fish off of limbs. In looking back at the video where I said those must be bubbles, I am now believing we may have knocked off some algae from the limb and it was rising which it stirred up the fish just before it bit. Amazing to finally see what has been happening below all these years of Crappie fishing and now be able to dial in things and pinpoint my bait where it should be instead of hoping I am in the right area. This my friends have increased my bite ratio as I can see where to place my bait in the strike zone.
Here is a short video. The video is not the greatest and we plan on getting back on the water soon and make something better. We only hit 4-5 spots and I am sure if we ran the course we would have come across stuff that was choked full of Crappie.

I have 50 + LiveScope in stock/available and you can review the link below for a compatible unit/display to go with it.

You will need to turn your head sideways to the right. Sorry for the poor video. We will get more coming in the near future. Enjoy!!!

I've had it for several months now and it continues to amaze me almost every time I go fishing.

It may not be able to get the fish to bite but the Garmin LiveScope continues to amaze me in clarity, and the ability to pinpoint bait presentation and accuracy. Here you see a tandem jig set up with a barrel swivel. You can see each one individually.

It's a loop knot. If you don't know how to tie it, Todd Huckabee has an easy to view YouTube instructional; just search for it. There are more than one way to tie it.

Correct...


Here is a video of a crappie coming up and smacking the jig...
