We learned something new today on Townlake in Austin. We noticed on Livescope that balls of bait were being chased by schools of aggressive fish. Our original plans were to fish vertically, but we quickly changed our minds when we saw how they attacked the bait balls. By sitting back away from the schools of bait, we were able to cast into them to catch them. Without Livescope, it would have just been a dumb luck day, hoping to cross paths with aggressive bass. Seeing how far and how deep they were made it much easier to target them. Hope you find this helpful. Tim

Luke 6:22-23
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. Take note—your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

That is the best LiveScope video I have seen yet. Amazing that we are now able to see real-time fish behavior on a sonar screen. Thanks for posting this Tim.

Prime example of fishing bait and not fish!! Find the bait and or ambush spots, the fish are not too far away.
