I love the Scope. using it with the 93sv+ on my bow. it works well to see if there is activity on a pile or tree. i have not been successful at identifying what type of fish i'm seeing always as the shapes are hard to make out. i mounted my screen on a seat pedastal to get it up high and close to my field of vision. of course i would like a bigger screen and may upgrade at some point. i paid $450 for my 93sv+ used including a side view transducer. if you have the money, get the 12 inch non-touch screen with the knobs for the livescope. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-112637-48679-20200329_153547.jpg)

I love my 93UHD -- I played with the settings and after using it I can tell the difference between catfish, gaspergou, crappie, bass, and gar. A plus today was the 10+ft gator that swam under the boat.

I am running the 122 ultra. I plan to upgrade to a 8416 or 8417 before the fish move out deep in the winter.

Since livescope has made catching crappie so easy, I understand Stevie Wonder has ordered a unit and will soon be quiding on Lake Fork.

I had a 93SV and was very happy with it. First of the year, I put a 102SV because of the UHD features. It is a little clearer image but I feel like I didn't HAVE TO HAVE the bigger screen to catch my fish.
I do like having it elevated so I don't have to bend over to make any adjustments and it does make it a little easier on the eyes and reducing LiveScope Neck. I also like having the transducer on my LiftSaver Pole Mount.

here is a quick video of my 93 sv on a cedar brush pile. those are mainly 7 to 9 inch crappie. you can really tell when a pair of grass carp swim through the pictures! their outlines are very noticable. https://photos.app.goo.gl/yfB1YcdzAyERJSVs9hope the link works. let me know if not and i can upload to youtube

Since I fish out of a kayak (albeit a nice one), I absolutely love side imaging and live scope for eliminating unproductive areas. Even with pedal drive, you only have a fairly limited amount of water you can cover and time to get to it.
Running the 93SV+ and I love how Garmin made the unit both touchscreen and physical button controllable. Best of both worlds.
Fishin' to stock Lake Crisco.
