  • There are a million videos out there on how to setup a Garmin Livescope but this is wha worked for John Crews, veteran bass pro angler, on the 2021 Bassmaster Elite Series season. Don't be afraid to ask questions or input your experience with Livescope.

    Thanks, just ordered mine after watching some of these types of vids that show real world images vs. the marketing vids. My step-dad is in his 90s now and I'm trying like hell to get him on fish now that he can't fish streams.

    John, fantastic vid, i appreciate it. Currently trying to plan for the future, budget wise, and taking that into consideration before setting my boat up with electronics. I have a 99 fisher freedom 2000, so its like a bass boat aluminum haul, but pontoon interior, with the front deck and fishing chairs. I think i ultimately want a livescope on the bow, and a main screen for captains chair. I think I want them to network, but not sure if that really matters? I noticed you have all three main brands, do they all communicate with each other? For starters, I am looking at just purchasing a captain chair mount, but ultimately want the bow and livescope. Any tips would be appreciated.

    For me just got installed this week
    Excited to try it out
    So many videos out there
    Yours was to the point clean and easy to understand
    Question
    What setting of the transducer weee you on?
    Forward?
    Down?
    Perspective?
    Thanks again

    John, thanks for keeping it on a simple level! People tend to take it way too far in my opinion, especially for beginners. One question for you concerning the transducer mounting. I fish rough big water so my trolling motor is constantly moving, would this not make my any fish appear and disappear constantly since the transducer would be moving with the motor? It seems like it would be hard to hold on an image, your thoughts Sir?

    I just bought my retirement boat and ordered it with a Garmin Ultra 106sv with the 34 ducer mounted to the Tm, the only settings I've played with is the Gain. My questions are as a Crappie guy what would your preferred settings be? I'm guessing they would be different then a Bass guys? also excuse my ignorance but my Transducer mount has several adjustments and is currently on down view, if I want to use the preferred Perspective view do I just readjust the Transducer? or do I also have to adjust the view on the head unit?

    Thanks for the video. I just cant figure out why my brain wont process sonar imaging, when you say crystal clear I see 90's tv channel 1 static with a brief glimpse of a nipple. Does it get easier over time? I have been using side imaging for a year now and still have only understood what I was looking at once when a suspended sturgeon wandered by.

    I see you have the GLS 10 transducer. Are you using the transducer that comes with your chartpotter/fish finder and LVS32 panoptix transducer? I recently bought Livescope with LVS32 transducer with Garmin Echomap UHD with GT54UHD-TM Tranducer. Do I need to use both transducers or just the livescope transducer?

      360. I don’t have live, but I use the heck out of 360. It’s awesome to find structure, and I also see schooling fish and cast to them from time to time. Incredible tool, and you don’t have to put too much focus on it while you’re fishing, as appears to be the case with live technology.
