  10. 2004 TR 19, In need of a Bow panel. Been looking but have not found one. The existing one that my friend has is crushed where his trolling motor has smashed it. Due to the guy who owned it before him not installing the trolling motor correctly. We are installing a new Ghost and would like to replace the panel. Any help appreciated. Thanks,

  12. The 10 Best Garmin LiveScope Settings to Get the Best PictureBy Jason Sealock •Aug 18, 2020John Soukup, owner of TheBassTank.com and professional bass and crappie tournament angler, is one of the most knowledgeable anglers of Garmin LiveScope. He was one of the first guys in the nation to have it and he's seen all the applications for bass and crappie. He can practically apply the knowledge of these technologies to catch more fish as well as address any of the common install and usages issues anglers will have through his years of installs and troubleshooting.We asked Soukup to give us a rundown of the 10 best settings for Garmin LiveScope to help anglers get the best looking picture on their units, and be able to see the fish, their lures and the cover in all fishing situations.Here are the 10 settings and we'll give you link next to the title to the specific place in the video where he talks about each specific setting.crappie-stake-bed-livescope-jpg.jpgJason Sealock1. Noise Reject (39 seconds)Noise reject helps filter the information that is coming into your unit from your LiveScope processor and transducer. When you have it turned off you'll see a lot of clutter on the screen. You will want a little clutter to filter through because you want to be able to see your line and small jigs on the screen and you need some of the information to pass through. But the Noise Reject setting at high will eliminated a lot of unwanted clutter.To set it go to your LiveScope screen and choose Menu > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject and choose High.2. TVG (1 min, 28 secs)TVG stands for Time Variable Gain. This is filter information top to bottom to let you see further into the water. When you're in water less than 15 feet deep, you'll want to set TVG to off as it will filter too much out on the top part of the water column and you could miss some fish up there. Deeper than that and you can start with low.To set it. Go to your Livescope Screen and choose Menu > Sonar Setup > TVG and choose OFF.3. Color Gain (2 mins, 6 secs)Color Gain is a way to set the intensity of just the objects that Livescope will detect. Instead of pumping up the gain and contrast of the whole screen, color gain just pumps up the fish, brush, your lure and other objects in the water. So this is a setting you can turn way up if you're having a hard time seeing fish or your lure at a distance. Soukup talks about his favorite settings in the video above, but each person needs to find their happy medium for where they fish.To set it, go to your LiveScope Screen and choose Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance > Color Gain. It defaults around 50 and Soukup often runs his up to 83 or 84 to really make those returns stand out on the screen.4. Gain (3 mins, 5 secs)After you get Noise Reject, TVG and Color Gain adjusted, then you can start tweaking your Gain up and down to see how much clutter you like cleared or showing to make sure you see the cover, the fish and your lure if necessary to make the most precise presentations to the fish. This is truly a user preference and you will find at times you will turn it up and other times you'll turn it down as you change locations and depth.To set it go to your LiveScope Screen and down at the bottom towards the right you'll see Gain. You can click the + or - to increase and decrease your Gain.soukup-color-palettes.jpgJason Sealock5. Color Scheme (3 mins, 23 secs)Everyone sees a little differently. It's this way on Marine Electronics for sure. Some folks see amber better while some see blue better. Sometimes on a cloudy day, one palette draws a better picture than another for different people. So that's why there are so many options. Soukup was a big fan of Black Emerald when he was here fishing the Crappie Masters tournament on Kentucky Lake looking for crappie in stake beds and brush piles that were covered in shad fry. I like the Blue and the Amber palettes.To set it, go to your LiveScope screen and choose Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance > Color Scheme. Then choose the color palette that you can best see everything with on that body of water.6. Range (4 mins, 48 secs)Range understanding is critical to distinguishing not only species of fish but size of same species of fish. So if you're hunting bigger crappie and not wanting to cull through a lot of little ones, you can learn what they look like by keeping your range in close and keeping it consistent. Same with your depth. As you stretch and constrict your screen sideways (range) and up and down (depth) you change the scale and detail LiveScope can display.Soukup has some good feedback on how far out to use Range in the video above.To set Range, go to your LiveScope screen. At the bottom left is the Range option. You can expand out or pull it back in.Usually I stay between 25 and 50. I use 25 when I'm fishing for a specific fish on the screen. I use 50 when I'm trying to see a piece of cover before I get on it or if I want to sit off a school and make sure my bait is landing in the right place every time.7. Depth (6 mins, 36 secs)Like Range, keeping your depth consistent helps identify fish and how big the fish are before you ever put a lure in their face. Soukup recommends keep the depth setting on manual so the screen won't auto range in and out. Then set the depth to 3 or 4 feet deeper than the depth you're in. That will keep the menu items out of the way and below what you want to see on the screen.To Set Depth, go to your LiveScope screen and choose, Menu > Depth Range then select a depth a few feet deeper than where you're fishing.8. Bottom Fill & Trails (7 mins, 58 secs)When you are fishing for fish that are hunkering on the bottom, something Walleye often do, you might want to use the Bottom Fill and Trails features.To set these, go to your LiveScope Screen. Then choose Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance > Bottom Fill or Trails. See a more detailed explanation of what each does in the video above.17may20-0922-00.pngJason Sealock9. Orientation (Perspective Mode): 10 mins, 39 secsYou bought the new Perspective Mode Mount and are having trouble with it auto sensing and showing you the new perspective mode. Turn the transducer to Perspective mode. Then go to your unit and on the LiveScope screen choose Menu > Sonar Setup >Installation > Orientation and choose Perspective. Or set to Auto and it should autosense when you move the transducer.10. Transmit (overheating fix): 11 mins, 46 secsIf you are having issues with Panoptix shutting off because the transducer is overheating while it's on the deck in the hot scorching summer heat. You can fix this by turning the transmit off while the Panoptix LiveScope transducer is out of the water.To turn it off, go to Menu > Transmit > Off.Featured Fishing Gear:Garmin Panoptix LivescopeGarmin GPSMAP 8612 XSVXpress Boats X21 ProIf you're in the market for a new unit and LiveScope system, you should consider calling the guys at TheBassTank.com.

  13. Ya I found that out on Contours, it does not have but you can map and follow that at a later time.Pulled the trigger yesterday. 2- 106sv-ultra, Livescope, Garmin Force, Wire upgrade, cables, install, etc.Hope we are happy with this and it works flawlessly.
  14. Have never been very impressed with their service or advise. They sold a friend and I was with him, a bag of beans on some lowrance equipment, that would not link and then had the nerve to say it was not their fault, several years ago. Also would not fix a trolling motor, warranty work, because it would not do it in there shop, butyou put the trolling motor in the sun for a few hours and it would shut down. We ended replacing the circuit board our self and eating the 200 buck for the part, problem fixed.
  15. Gaspergue
  16. Next time you decide to fish against the Livescope, I will send you my address and you send me your entry fee. That way it will be money well spent, because I will be putting it towards a livescope. Just so you know, your money is going for a good cause.
  17. Good Video, Really like Reelfoot Lake
  18. Gaspergou's is the only thing we call them in Texas. Yankee's call them Drumfish. They will bite worms, crankbaits etc. Caught one fish in a tournament on Lake Buchanan years ago, in Texas. Took it the scale as I thought it could be a record was not, but weighed 12.23lbs. And fought like you would not believe. Caught on a Blue/Black Jig off a boat dock.
  19. Now I am confused BIG TIME. Lots of questions????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????Ghost with lowrance equipment, Ultrex with Hummingbird and Garman trolling with garmin equipment?My buddy is looking at a Garmin 93 something, with down imaging and with livescope and wants the Ultrex trolling motor, What is the advantages versus disadvantages. What does he need to make it all work as it should. I am not electronics savey at all and the first to admit it and neither is he really.We bass fish and he is more of a bank beater and I am more structure fisherman.If you want to just put up on the bow a new trolling motor and 1 electronics on a budget of 5 to 6 grand or less what would you do. I plan on buying the one for the console, upgrade at least one better, with side imaging, what ever route he goes up front.I am just trying to help him out with what works best together.Long and Confused
  20. Wappapella
  21. The southern Illinois folks should share, because we share our info with them. I talked to several fishing the Wapp, back in the spring when their lakes were shut down due to their Governor. And it is Southern Illinois also.
  22. How is the fishing doing over there?
