When I first started fishing with Liv scope, I had it set on auto and way out at 120 and I’ve been around the lake and I was just chasing fish and not catching anything. Then I pulled up to a bridge and stuck the left side of my boat towards the bridge and then turned my scope facing the base of the bridge pylon and since I was in a spot where I wasn’t moving, I could actually get a good association of what was going on in the scope. I spotted the bottom that was chasing some bait and I dropped a Berkeley strip down there on it and, got hammered by catfish. That right there taught me what was going on with the device so I suggest finding a place where you can make an easy association and try to catch fish that way. A large flat or easy to recognize structure such as a dock or something will make it a lot easier to catch your first scope fish.
Great advice and information. Doesn’t matter which brand of electronics used, the same info applies. I’m 64 and have used FFS since it first came out. I have used both Garmin & Lowrance so I know the info applies to both. The only other advice I give out to guys just getting into FFS is to go use it as often as possible between tournaments (if that’ll what you do) and fish for other species such as crappie and you will excel at it.
Great advice especially #4. I just purchased and started using LVS last year. Like other users relating to #4, I was casting towards the first image that appeared on the LVS screen. After watching your video and a few from the Garmin Guru channel, I now realize the LVS screen only shows shows two dimensions--depth/distance. The fact a fish appears on the screen only means it is "somewhere" inside the corresponding width of your beam for the respective distance. As you (and GG) indicate, you have to move the beam back and forth to get the best/most intense return to correctly position and cast to the fish. Thanks for the tips. You gained a new subscriber!
Great explanation, I’m a visual learner an understand it better when you have all of the props to show us what your talking about. Looking forward to meeting you in a few short weeks at Toldeo Bend! Best of luck in the tournament! 👍🏻🇺🇸🎣
All makes sense. I have an ultra 106sv, lvs34 system & steady cast on my Hobie pedal drive kayak sense last January. So I've had it a year now. I've mostly used perspective mode & keep it facing forward to use it for finding offshore structures. I probably only used forward mode 20% of the time. I have been using forward mode alot more recently. I'm curious how wide the beam is at 10- 20- 30-40, so on? I've kept mine at 80' also. I think the distance is important for you have something consistent to judge the size of fish or objects!
Get the strongest return in the middle and fire away. 😬 awesome video brother. You are a good ‘splainer 👊🏻 it kinda gets real for me when the current situation gets good. 🥴that’s when I feel lost using it but that’s when they bitin too.
If I leave the beam on bass in az they swim away after about 5seconds. Carp will flee when hit with the beam in 20-30’depth. I’ve caught way more fish before scope. Got system 93sv 9”‘bundle for 1k so had to do it. Been fun but only found that shaky bait in face bite once in 2yr. Usually they swim away from it. And stopped lure get more bites than moving. They’ll just watch it swim off vs stare at it and first twitch nose to nose they’ll bite. It’s like a ice fishing bite yr round. Grr. Flipping reeds still produces biggest fish year round.
If Christie is talking livescope, jigs or spinnerbaits, I'm listening. Like a coach drawing up a play on the sideline. Pulling for you and Gussy at Grand! Should be a good one
I live out west. I don't know much about livescope, but I don't think it any good for salmon, Walleye (Lake Roosevelt is very deep and walleye hang out on the bottom, kokanee, or lake trout. Livescope is mostly for shallow stuff, I think. 50 feet or less. I don't fish for much that shallow. King Salmon is often 80 to 140 feet deep; halibut is over 300 many times. I just don't think it would do me much good. When I fish in the mountains the bass are just a bunch of dinks. I don't bother with them.
Sound and light reflect the same. I’ve worked testing welds for flaws with ultrasound over 30 years. The fish facing away from the beam is not as reflective. Its basic physics. Just like a lay down log or brush pile is most visible when it is perpendicular to the beam. Anything parallel to the beam is not a good reflective target.
Jason is such a freaking hammer! He’s had to evolve with technology! That being said, it’s sad to how technology has ruined the sport! We all know if you’re not scoping your hoping in many scenarios. As long as it’s legal you have to do it to be competitive! Jason has always had that rare instinctive “Edge” that’s made him so successful pre spotlighting! It’s has to be so frustrating for the anglers like Jason to have this technology dominate pro fishing! It’s an obvious “SH#T or get off the pot scenario”!
The amount of crying in the comments is insane. I’ve caught so many bass using sonar, and seeing the fish come up and eat my bait. It’s really not that different except you are in front of the boat, not under the boat. Everyone has seen a fish on sonar and dropped down to it.
You can put that Livescope where the sun don’t shine Bubba. Fishing isin’t a computer game. Your method of fishing is disgraceful to outwit one of Mother Natures creatures using electronics.
How to be good with Livescope? 🤔 that's a head scratcher...There's a reason unskilled anglers are catching illegal limits of fish NOW...stop pretending Livescope takes skill
Someone is salty! Catching fish takes skill. PERIOD. Regardless of the methods used. I've broke off numerous fish, because I didn't have the skill. All electronics are in the same category, get rid of one then you might as well get rid of them all.

@andybales7318 how you took my comment and turned me into a scoper, I'll never figure out. I said it takes skill to catch fish and I've broken many off because I lacked that skill. I've never caught or attempted to catch fish with any scope. How is sight fishing any different? Are you not shaking your bait waiting for a strike?
@@drdrum1000Livescope allowing you to see your bait on a screen is totally different....without livescope, you would never be able to place your lure in their face every cast..sight fishing shallow water is way different
Andy, don’t be a hater. He’s giving you a masters degree in Livescopeing class here and your thinking you know it all. Not everyone wants to get better at it and that’s ok that you don’t. But thinking there’s not more to this is nieve.

If your level of co-dependence (and lack of self-respect) is so bone-deep, that you'd rather go through the expense, and energy to jack around with technology originally designed to look in women's uterus's to confirm pregnancies, rather than learning how to fish in the first place, then it's safe to say fishing is the least of your worries. Come to think of it, try bumper-bowling, it's much cheaper.

I agree with that fish swimming away not broadside produces weaker signal, I’ve seen that too - great call out! Great Video!
Great videos. No drama or debate. Just instructions. Keep up the great work.

I have a question for you who are the Ryobi fisherman how come you always have to be quiet when you see them or near is it because of the
I think of and measure the livescope distance based on FT line to rim; 15ft increments.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! I enjoyed it too
WORST THING TO COME TO BASS FISHING SINCE THE Arigg
Nothing wrong with the A-Rig.
Agree let the crappie and white bass use it bass fishing is plugging the bank in structure. Especially tournaments no go
I see you don’t have crappie brakes on your power poles. Regardless of what you fish, boat control is critical. You will have them one day

Just depends. Usually around 65

How do you get 13.4 volts from a Lithium battery? I have not been able to find any other than 12 volts.
U can by 16 v batteries now that are lithium
Why set depth 15 to 20’ deeper than what you’re fishing?
Incase you hit a drop off, you won’t miss fish.
Put a season on forward facing sonar (hunting) not fishing
How to catch fish with a conscious you mean?
Good stuff Jason.

Nice video Mr. Christie.
I believe he said "don't think" several times. Sounds like a live scope tutorial.

Be even better without it and go catch fish

Way to teach more people how to harm the resources for your own personal gain. Sad
Look at that first boat he had! These are the kind of rich privileged kids we need to keep out of bass fishing, BAN LIVESCOPE! 🤣
I hope Bass and NOT ban livescope and you guys have to go back to real bass fishing.
LOL! Pathetic.
This explains why it’s not good that humminbird’s cone width is wider. You want a narrow beam.
