I promise you we have some videos coming up that do NOT need forward-facing sonar...in fact, we caught waaaay more fish once we stopped looking at....

Spring Lake?

I use yellow braid because I have been a line watcher for most of my 77 years. I installed a Livescope about a month ago and now I am a screen watcher! Caught a 29” yesterday just as you described except the fish was suspended at 30 feet in 40 FOW. Used a blade bait rather than a jig and night crawler. Spot lock changed where I fish in the boat and now Livescope is changing how I fish. I would not have cast in that direction were it not for Livescope.

It's very, very eye opening. Have learned SO much about fish behavior from it. Btw congrats on the 29" that's amazing! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. 👊

That's a SIMM's Pro Dry. Wildly expensive, but worth every penny when you live in it. Actually makes me enjoy fishing in the rain 😅. Thanks for watching!

Just like on hard ice, the big fish are suspended above deep water near humps. Dropping a bait to the bottom will net small fish at best, but the big ones are always way off the bottom.

what net do you use?

@TargetWalleye

9 ай бұрын

I've got a few different ones depending what I'm doing. That medium Bubba Carbon Fiber Net is nice for solo landing or scooping fish right over the side of the boat. And I have a Clam Fortis Net (190) with the telescoping handle that'll go all the way out to 110" for scooping fish out behind the boat when I'm trolling and the boats moving.

Nice jacket I liked it, where did you get it?

It's nice using small crawlers to not have to pinch them, but I'd rather have the bigger crawlers becasue they are girthier. I just have more confidence in that extra beef and makes it worth pinching to me.
