I still have trouble in the wind seeing a small swimbait or jerkbait on the retrieve. I need someone to show me how to really dial these in. It seems when your small swimbait is 50ft from the boat it is hard to see until gets back. Wind was brutal this evening trying to stay on them and see my bait 

Its all about small little adjustments with the pedal, Ive had mine about a year and it just takes time playing with it.   I put the noise reject on high TVG off in less than 30ft and then adjust the color gain.  I set mine to see a lot of "fuzz"  instead of being perfectly clear like all the you tube videos, once you learn what your seeing you can see through all the artifact

When i used to fish tournaments I was the only guy around who used Navman A- SCOPE. could tell exactly what kind of fish was on the screen. this was more than a decade ago. A distinct advantage over my competition back then. Bought it online in Australia, had it shipped here.

Nobody was using saltwater electronics on bass boats back then. I worked at  dock for more than 15 years, never saw a Navman unit on any kind of boat  .Navman was years ahead of Lowrance Garmin Hummingbird ECT as far as sonar goes back then. I used to laugh to myself when my fishing friends bragged about their new units having certain sonar capabilities, when I'd already been using basically the same thing for years with Navman.

I'm glad that not catching fish doesn't really bother me that much anymore.

Seein's I'm on the fixed income these days the only way I can afford the Livescope is to sell the boat!

Oh well, I had a pretty good run of blowin' money on stuff that most others couldn't afford for quite a few years.

Y'alls turn now.  Fun reading about it though.

Although there still is that blood bank deal.....

Do they take old plasma??😂

Try adjusting your transducer angle to more "center" the zone that you are fishing.  

On the livescope the trans only has a couple positions, one is for basically right under the boat and the other for in front.  I can watch a whopper plopper come back on top or a fish on the bottom in 40

This is the position you want it in for most everything

It would be like draining old oil out of the pan on a 10 degree day  😁.

I can clearly see the fish in the first image but not sure about the second image - I would guess that there are about half dozen fish in the left side of the pic near the darker color and all the stuff behind them is garbage (not fish).  Are you saying that all those are fish?

Sorry the pics did not show - I was referring to the 1st pic in blue versus the pic in orange.

I would say those are all fish around a tree.  The slightest little movement of the pedal would probably clear it up and separate the fish.  One thing i have realized is a lot the instructional stuff you see online isnt real life. Most of them have the perfect calm conditions to make a great video.   When you battling wind and stuff it is harder to get that perfect picture
