I use it and absolutely love it. Target bluegill through the ice. When I fish shallow water about 7’ or less it is limited to how far you can see out. When I am in 15-20’ of water then i can see out 80’ no problem. Definitely makes it nice to have a machine to get you around the lake if you aren’t seeing fish with it. If there are fish around, you will find them, but I have had days were I have searched and searched and still not come across much fish.

I recently got Livescope and after getting it all set up i took it to a local pond just to try it out off of a dock.  little tungsten jigs show up very good in the 10-12ft range.  I couldn't check deeper regrettably.  I am excited to try it on the ice this year and the boat in the spring.  My buddies like to say "we" got livescope :)

Used my friends a few times, found it way too easy and unrewarding.  Took away from the ‘hunting’ and ‘surprise’ element.  Was thinking about purchasing one but I’ll stick with a flasher.  To each his own.

That's what I think I would use it for the most...searching new lakes.  I imagine I would go back to my regular setup on the familiar lakes.

Had several chances this year to use live scope. I thought it was fun finding and being able to stay on the fish. Remember it’s just like any fish finder you still have to make them bite.  But knowing the fish are there makes a person keep trying, I think a little harder.
