Family has a property on a lake in north Louisiana. Young baw posts a pic on the lake facebook of 30 crappie. Old baw replied that he was on the lake the past two days staying at the state park and was skunked both days trying to fish brush, baw wanted recommendations. Young baw said "i was using livescope, may want to keep working brush." ---- This is why these machines piss me off, its clear that if you took the video game screen away from young baw, he wouldnt know his arse from his face when it came to fishing.

You sound like the guys who used to cry about trolling motors, then depth finders then 3d imaging then blah blah blah.

Some of you guys act like they're using dynamite and scooping up the fish. Who cares about what they can see with a live scope, it doesn't make the fish bite or stay on the hook.


Lighten up Nancy, new technology comes along all the time. Learn to use it and you'll do just fine or stick with what you have because it is working for you.


As for this

Seems like young baw was acting like half the fishermen I know. Not telling Ole baw crap about his spots but giving good advice about working the brush. Like I said, half the baws I know would have said exactly that with no specifics or given him specifics of a completely different part of the lake.

How did he know where the brush was? I'm guessing he has depth finder with sidescan.

You don't need a livescope to know what this is on downscan.



But livescope absolutely helps once you spot lock and your image begins to smear.

I'm all for livescope. It's been a thing for a few years now and the sacalait population isn't hurting. If anything it's helping remove more from the lake and putting more on the dinner table. Win/win.

I've been the waters of North Louisiana for over 50 years, well before livescope, side scan, or just about any other depth finder ever built. Nobody needs a livescope to know that crappie are holding in the brush in summer.

Mr. Skunked needs to alter lures, color, depth, or get deeper in the brush.

So, you want him to not catch any fish just like the other guy? There's been some bad people pass through this board, but you're the biggest pile of steaming shite so far.

Why are you worried about someone else? I bet you use the latest technology in your home, vehicle and other places but complain about livescope.

If the young baw couldn't afford a boat and got skunked while the elder was hitting piles in the middle of the lake you'd probably tell him to "spend the money to compete" and side with the geriatric. As great as Livescope is people without it don't understand it's not a given to catch anything.

He caught fish and the guy guy pissing in the wind didn't.

But if you really want to get down to it, calculate the price per lb of fish using livescope or not. Gas, bait, boat, rod and reel, license etc.

Just like hunting you'd be better off buying beef at the slaughter house. I love to fish but I'm not against a livescope. It doesn't make them bite.

I like meat so if I want to catch fish, I'm catching fish. I don't need a livescope. There's other means to guarantee that I get fish.

I won’t badmouth any of that stuff or anybody who uses it but it’s hard for me to grasp how much some people are willing to spend to fish.
Give me a full cricket cage and a 5 gal bucket to sit on. I’m happy lol

You must be talking Darbonne, Claiborne or Caney. If he getting skunked then he needs to stop fishing. All those lakes are producing right now.

I have a higher end vexilar flasher.
I turn the puck side ways and have a livescope as sonar real time. Just looking at lines versus a screen with a picture.

Hey if you can afford it and it works go for it.
