Another great video. An older gentleman told me the red jig head resembles gills on bait fish and why he paints his red. Not sure but makes sense I guess.

@BrandonLesterFishing

Could be something to that I guess but in my opinion it has more to do with the way crappie see colors on certain days due to light penetration, water color, etc. Definitely not disagreeing with you though all I know is it does make a difference at times. Thanks for watching!

Shooting docks is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching and good luck.

What a treat to watch you explain and show what you are looking for on your forward facing sonar screen and then make the casts and watch the lure descend and follow the lure in the water column. This helps immensely for us beginners with forward facing sonar. Your tip about staying 30 feet away did not go unnoticed either! Your best video yet.....at least for me. What brand and # line are you using?

Great video. I have a 14ft kayak using HDS Live 7; wondering if adding active active target would yield satisfactory results or whether it would be better to switch to a larger Elite unit or bite the bullet for Garmin LS34 with Ultra 106S. Your thoughts?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

I would just buy active target since you already have a Lowrance unit and are comfortable with it. Thanks for watching!

If you lower your depth range, it will tighten those lines up into nice blobs. You can even see the fins moving on the fish

Hey Brandon, awesome videos & supper informative. I'm sure this is a dumb question but i'll ask it anyway. I haven't owned a boat in 20 years & am looking to purchase a new 1 next year & will definitely have active target. So,,,when you're looking at your screen, how do you know where the boat is compared to the location of the fish? And, is there a way to put a boat icon on the screen to help with that?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

Yes there is an icon on the screen that will show you where the transducer is facing, but I have it turned off. After some practice you won’t need it. I have my AT transducer mounted to the trolling motor shaft so basically wherever my trolling motor head is facing is where the transducer is pointing.

Boat flipping some hogs! You had me cringing I'm not going to lie lol. Another awesome video!

As long as you use the bend of the rod to flip them you can usually get by with it. Just don’t ever grab the line 😂. Thanks for watching!

I use several different rods for crappie ranging from 6’ to 6’10”. Most are medium light action. I like a 2500 size spinning reel and I use 4#vicious panfish monofilament line. Thanks for watching!

I use crappie magnets alot

What lake are you fishing at there in Tennessee

What is the rod you are using? Length/action.. I’ve tried to zoom in a few times.

I found your KZread channel by accident, but I look forward to all your videos. I also have hds live 12. My side and down Image looks nothing like yours. If you don’t mind in one for your videos could you go over your transducer location and angle. Also do you have a designated battery just for your fish finder? I would like to dial my hds in like yours. Thanks for all the great videos and the ones to come.

I see now. Not sure why it looked different. Do you make videos on how you optimize your settings? Very clear. I have just recently installed dedicated Sea Clear power harness.

I disagree because Randy Blaukat says if you use FFS you wipe out everything you can see with it.

The Thing I've learned about Electronics is it's a Never ending learning process, Livescope is no different, there's basic starting points for my settings, there's no magic number for the gain it depends on Water Conditions , sunlight, Summer time thermocline,I honestly believe Even the Moon phases has some effect on interference , I use The Garmin System,, Starting points ,, Noise Low,, TVG Low,, Color Gain 78,, Color Limit -0-,,, Gain STARTING POINT 65 That number changes more than once thru out a day maybe only a couple of bumps Down or Up but as a rule between 60 and 70 I'll get the sweet spot, I also adjust my auto fresh a tad ,it's at about 108 ,I can see my Jig better than the default number at that, nothing replaces Time On The Water, Trying different things just keep Those basic starting points and you can always go back to those and start Over,,, and by no means is Livescope a magic wand that makes fish Bite it's just not gonna happen that way , it's a Great Tool , Using It Effectively is All up to You, and I don't claim to be No expert,, but I'm learning,, great video Tight Lines Brother 💦🐟🎣🤠
