Great video, just installed livescope and can’t wait to figure it out like yourself
I would like to see a few episodes of seeing how you use your graphs. I like the split screen best setup explanation I’ve found. Maybe a boat control video as well, ie on a point be down down wind and fish into it.
That would be a great idea. Thank you!!!
In my opinion boat control is a huge deal that gets over looked by alot of anglers. Your average everyday bass guy doesn't pay much attention to it. Even some serious tournament anglers I've fished with before often times over look boat control. Not knowing which direction the fish were facing or how there set up on cover. Which way the wind is blowing, the shade of docks, rocks, logs, boats, trees, dock pole, etc. How to catch deep suspended bass in the summer time is my Achilles heel. I've tried things I use in winter like jerk baits , and a rig's that I catch suspended fish on, in the summer and it just doesn't work. There's very few videos out on suspended fish in the summer time too just like boat control videos
So fkn cool...I've been doing a ghetto version of this on my kayak, armed only with 2d sonar: go over suspended fish, pedal 10 strokes and turn 180, cast/let it pendulum through the school. Not nearly as effective as having livescope obv but it's a pattern here when very few people are catching consistently.
I am a new subscriber. I have a Garmin Livescope and I am very interested in your technique that you demonstrate in your video. I plan on using this technique next summer. Most of the videos on RUclips for the Livescope are on catching crappies, so I like the SMB angle. Looks like you have plenty of videos to keep me busy through the winter.
Thanks so much for subscribing John! If you have any questions, just let me know
I have watched this video a bunch. I am happy to learn what is possible with the forward facing sonar for suspended bass. I was wondering if you would share how you located the small you caught. Did you idle to find the bait and then follow the bait? Did you find the smallmouth and just follow them? I am just trying to wrap my mind around the idea of locating the fish to start the entire process. Any thoughts will be helpful. Thank you
This video makes me so excited for the livescope unit I just purchased. I live on a glacial/river system lake and in the post spawn period I’ve always seen bass busting surface after smelt/ciscos. Watching this video and seeing how the fish interact with the balls of bait I have gain a way better understanding of how effective this technique could be. Also do you think a spybait could also do great for this technique? Or would you rather prefer using a single hook/soft plastic.
Awesome video and hope to see more like this in the future!
Dam I’ve been thinking about a lot about that unit... even in my dreams lol
It’s an amazing piece of technology!
Love the Chanel. Crazy expensive electronics for sure. Maybe some day. Great video. Thanks.
Joe Najor thanks Joe! Yeah, they’re definitely expensive. Thanks for watching man
Honesty one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen! Great stuff dude!!
Thanks so much Matt!
Wow I wished I had that setup on a lake i went to on that northern Michigan trip.
Right!!! That's where this shines so much. It's so good up north on those deep clear lakes
I love that technology I just wish it was less expensive! Enjoyed the video buddy!
I hear you man! Thanks for watching Victor!
Crazy to see how far electronics have come in the fishing world..absolute game changing technology 🤙
One of few literal game changers
I mainly crappie fish with jigs from shallow water during spawn then later max of 15-20 ft at times trolling and most folks recommend Panoptics for that but after seeing your Live scope it seems to have more definition seeing individual fish and their relative size compared to Panoptics. What’s your advice. And thanks for great videoss
Awesome video. I was just curious on something. You like Lew's reels but you don't fish with their rods, why is that? I have 4 of them and love them with my Lew's reels. Again, just curious.
Thank you man. I’ve honestly only used one Lew’s rod - and I’ve liked it. I just haven’t tried any of their other rods. I work with ARK as well, so I’m mainly using their rods
How long of a fluoro leader do you run off the braid?
Sweet video I love the graph view.
Thank you so much man!
What a cool way to fish for smallmouth
Yeah that's damn cool. I'm hoping to buy a boat next year if I do I'm gonna have a missmash of units. Humminbird, Garmin, and Lowrance.
Heck yeah - that’s sweet man!!! You’ll be like Sonar or Bryan Thrift
Awesome graph footage, nice catching 👊👊☝️
Thank you Jacob!
Killer video!! Good work!! I’ve never seen panoptix/live scope stuff in person. Curious do you hardly ever use 2d sonar any more? Curios if/when you’d choose 2d over Livescope etc.
Fishcast Angling the only time I use 2D is if they’re directly under the boat in deep water - 20+ feet. Other than that, I only use livescope
God dam that’s amazing can I get that and still run my Minn Kota Ultrex and put the garmin up front right next to the ultrex
Right?! It’s some of the craziest fishing technology ever
Do both transducers mount on your trolling motor? If so, would that be an issue trolling through heavy weeds?
I had both but have decided to take off the traditional Panoptix (PS22) this year because I predominantly used LiveScope last season
Love the vids, as a fellow Lake St.clair angler with panoptix I appreciate ya bud!
+Chris Sauve Thank you Chris! Panoptix is amazingggg
@@brnowak_fishing you gotter dialed right in brother!! I have the live scope on a pole in the back and the Ps 22 for ice fishing but you have inspired me to get that thing thrown on my bow mount! Wish I could get her installed for the b1 next weekend
The best video I have seen using the Garmin LiveScope.... this type of graph should be illegal for tournament guys. You make it look so easy.
Thank you so much! It changes the way people fish. This is what Mark Daniels used to win at Oahe last season and Paul Mueller used at Lanier (?) this season to win - it’s revolutionary tech, no doubt!
@@brnowak_fishing Now I see why they call that technique, Video Game Fishing!!!
What bait were you using? I have panoptix livescope but I put it on a pole next to my trolling motor so I can pan around in a different angle than my trolling motor but I got too caught up with going to down view and staying in one spot targeting those hard to catch fish, now I know to switch to forward view and move around targeting those suspended fish more thank you so much, this was very helpful
That’s awesome!!! I was using a Ned rig on 1/4oz head with a Zman TicklerZ
way cool! i dont understand, are you spotlocked on a spot and letting them come to you orare you moving and throughing at what comes into view?
Thanks man! I actually am roaming over the deep water and looking for pods of bait and suspended fish. Then when I find them, I follow until they move upwards towards the bait which is when they bite
@@brnowak_fishing thanks ,please keep making vids. i went out and bought a 1022 and livescope because of your good works. fun fun fun
@@brnowak_fishing Are you idling with your big motor to find the schools of fish first? Or you just see some bait and put the trolling motor down and go to work?
Awesome video. I Love my livescope. What settings are you running? I am still trying to dial mine in.
+cobrayzf Thank you! Rather than type out the settings, here’s a video I did where I run through my setup - ruclips.net/video/IdUkDMQUPrs/видео.html
Amazing
That was way cool to see
Thanks dude! It’s really unreal
I used the PS22 last summer and had difficulty picking up the bait when virtually sight casting for suspended fish. Is the livescope better at picking up the falling/retrieved bait than the PS22 or are you using both to basically cast to "coordinates" on the graph and watch the fish react to know where you bait is? I find that this technology is awesome for jigging and especially ice fishing but also that I may have unrealistic expectations for open water. Your video with the live scope is what I was expecting with the PS22 and has me considering upgrading to it if it shows your bait in more clarity that what my experience with PS22 has been. Awesome video!, and the only one I have really seen where this technology is being used to "sight cast" for fish as opposed to most being vertical fishing.
Hey Alan! Thanks so much for watching.
Honestly the PS22 is better at picking up the bait - but it's a less precise image...what I mean by that is it's a bigger "blob" vs the LiveScope which is essentially true to size on the screen (think 2d vs Downvu)
I had some issues as well seeing my bait initially, but increased the gain slightly and that helped me capture/find the bait better in the picture. Also, make sure that your PS22 transducer (if on the shaft) is pointed perfectly in line with the head of the trolling motor, otherwise you might be missing a couple feet wide either way. If it's on the head of the trolling motor, I recommend casting slightly left or right of the trolling motor depending the side that your transducer is mounted on (think that PS22 is 6" left or right of the shaft of the trolling motor).
For me, using the PS22 is more effective at long range targets than LiveScope - It is able to pick up objects better further away than LiveScope is, but less detailed and less target separation. When searching for suspended fish, I can see them ~100ft away with the PS22 vs LiveScope ~60ft away.
The LiveScope is more effective at detail and target separation - for example, if a fish is off of my bait or very very close to my bait, it's obvious - with the PS22, sometimes fish look close to your bait, but may be 5 feet away because of the "blobbiness" of the image (again, 2d vs Downvu).
I hope that this helps! If you have any other questions, please let me know!
Benjamin
@@brnowak_fishing Thanks for the response! I have the PS22 on a separate mount from the trolling motor so I can rotate the poll independent of boat movement. I'm not the world's most accurate caster so I'm sure that has contributed to my struggles. Additionally, if there was any sort of wind it was challenge keeping the bait in the cone when retrieving. Next time I'm out I'll try increasing the gain and sacrifice casting distance for accuracy. This video was great in seeing the capabilities Panoptix has for horizontal fishing and the side by side comparison of Live scope and Panoptix was very informative. Great content!
Unreal video and great comparison! How were screen recording with your IPAD?
Thanks so much - yeah, I was using my iPad to record my screen
Grate video thanks for sharing
+Kevin Myers thanks Kevin!
Hey Benjamin! Where do you have your panoptix transducer mounted? Thanks for the great video
Hey - I have the LiveScope mounted on the shaft and the Panoptix traditional on the head of the trolling motor
@@brnowak_fishing Thanks for the reply! Going to do exactly this. Another pole is just another thing on my boat...
What Lake?
Watching this vid i realize i have a lot to learn 😂
Hahah it’s a fun learning process
Hey there, what rod and reel were you using for the smallies ??
Hey Nick I was using:
Rod - Ark Tharp Series 7' Medium Xfast Rod
Reel - Lew's Custom Pro Speed Spin 300 Size
what are your setting to see that far out on your live-scope????
Hey Kirk - here’s a vid to breakdown my settings. Hopefully this helps! ruclips.net/video/IdUkDMQUPrs/видео.html
I bet big money that Alex will now get panoptix within the next 3-4 months after seeing what it can do
+Nathan Fiant one would think, but he is a shallow water guy through and through, so this one may not be for him :-)
@@brnowak_fishing i lived by melton hill for 35 yrs. it would definately help if alex could get it.
What is the best unit for livescope??
I'd try to go with as big of graph as you can. My recommendation is nothing under 7". The Echomap 73 is a great unit or the 93 is awesome too. You just get better target separation and can get a better picture as the screen size gets bigger
Is your transducer on a separate pole?
No sir, just on my trolling motor shaft
Cool. I like it.
Thanks Jim
Trolling motor mount would drive me crazy. Constantly correcting and changing view.
The one thing I like about having it on the TM is the ability to change the angle quickly with your foot. On the Great Lakes in big waves, I would struggle turning the direction of the ducer if I didn't have it foot controlled (although I do wishhhh I could have the best of both worlds somehow)
@@brnowak_fishing cornfield crappie makes a pole that mounts to your tm that allows you to turn your transducer with foot control.
Is that on down view or forward on livescope thanks
That’s Forward on both LiveScope and Panoptix
What garmin graph are you using?
Jay B Garmin 1242 XSV
Live scope is seriously ridiculous 😦😅🤘🏼
Right?! It’s silliness
How far down did they suspend
They were suspending about 15 ft down and I’d wait for them to come up on baitfish
In North Alabama you can catch giant Smallies, giant Largemouth AND giant Spots All within an hour from each other!! Better than Michigan!
"There they are" one cast and a fish. I need to win big on a scratch off and get a panoptix setup haha.
Dude. I commented before the Live Scope footage. OMG that's so insane!
WAY COOL !!!
Thanks Roy
Is this Northern Michigan?
Also, this is by far the most helpful video I’ve seen on electronics. Very well done!
+Ram Outdoors thank you! I appreciate that! Yes, this is from
northern Michigan!
Benjamin Nowak headed up there next week and I was up for a week during pre spawn and did pretty well. Any chance you’d share the name of this lake with me? If not I understand! Almost looked like little traverse
Amazing video. Most fishermen will never get to own equipment like that, pretty pricey for the average guy who’s got an aluminum tiller boat stashed in the garage.
+Ken Tyler I hear you for sure man. It’s amazing tech, but it’s definitely not financially feasible yet for most anglers. Thanks for watching!!!
Take my money Garmin🤯💸
Right?! Garmin is taking over the world!
Man that's Nuts!! Here is my money!
Haha right?!
What part of MI are you from?
Lon Aylsworth I’m from the Saginaw/Midland/Bay City area
That's so sick, actually ridiculous to see schools of fish swimming like that!
+All-Season Fishing Right?! It’s absolutely mind blowing to see it like that
How many times have people told you that’s cheating🙄
Straight up cheating. Sight fishing all year
