LIVESCOPE Settings Explained: Less Clutter & MORE FISH!

- These are my best Livescope settings when I'm fishing for walleyes. There are no "magic" settings that work in all scenarios, so make sure you're always experimenting, and use my settings as a baseline to start from.

I have the Kraken this year and finally learned the foot pedal about a month ago. It's a total game changer. For anyone that thinks they are good at using their remote and clicking in between reeling, etc., it's really not even close. The nice thing is, I still have the remote around my neck and with both being paired, I'm not limited to either one. When I have the rod in my hand and up front, it's nearly exclusively foot pedal. Another excellent video!
You 100% nailed it Marcus. It's hard to beat running the transducer on the trolling motor.
Thanks for putting this video out Nick. I’m anxious to get out and try a couple of the adjustments I haven’t messed with that you demonstrated.
Right on, I hope it helps David!
Another great video Nick, thanks for sharing! I recently purchased a livescope and I really like the blue colour aswell! 🎣
Blue just reads so nicely!
Great content Nick, Directing your content to the questions we are asking let's us know your all about helping. Could not ask for better, 5 thumbs up !!!!!
Thanks! My number one goal is helping folks. I think that's the best way to operate (and grow) a CZcams channel. It needs to be about the viewers, first and foremost.
"If you turn the color limit up it kinda looks like mega live" 😂. I remember when you had mega live! Man you know bird dropped the ball when 90% of the pros have switched over 🤦♂️. Nice video Nick. Tight lines dude
Thanks Joe. Appreciate it man! That was kind of a controversial thing for me to say, but it's just the honest truth lol
Great information. Been using Lowrance for 2 years and been playing with the power source and still not happy with the results. I fish out of multiple boats and this might be the answer. Thinking of going to Garmin. Also been using the ghost and had nothing but trouble. I would not recommend the ghost to anyone. Thanks again for the info.
That’s good to know. I’ve only played with the ghost once for a half a day, so didn’t get enough time to make a full review
I have the same Arc lab system, love it for going boat to boat.
It’s so nice for portability.
Good video,dude! Cool to see we have the exact setup minus the ultrex!
Right on! I love this setup
Great info! While there are a lot of compatible chartplotters in various sizes from Garmin, one of the key things that you get with a bigger unit is *screen resolution* Echomaps are typically 1024x800 whereas GPSMap could be 1920x1080 or 1200, providing a much clearer picture. Go as big as you can afford is my motto :)
Agree! Resolution matters, too. Proper settings are more important, but if you want to max out your experience, it makes sense to get the best head unit.
Not so, pixels per square inch is where it's at. My 943xsv blows my 8612 away, as far as clarity goes. Now, that being said. My gain on the 12 is at 72 percent, so there is some clutter. The 943 I run at 80% with no clutter.
@@teamextremefishing Your comment makes no sense. Garmin 943xsv 1280x720=163.18 PPI. Garmin 8612 1920x1080=183.58 PPI. Garmin 8610 1920x1200=226.42 PPI.
@gregdutton8219 well I'll do a video on it and show you the difference. The 943xsv has waay clearer picture. I have both units.
@@teamextremefishing Then there must be another factor in it being clearer as PPi is calculated as he said, "Number of pixels ÷ size of the image in inches = pixels per inch."
I to like the blue screen. However, if I'm looking for walleye in deeper water with their bellies in the mud, I find it much easier to see them with bottom fill on. They show up as a red mark.
Interesting concept. I’ll have to play with that
What size battery do you run with? What is typical for these units?
I’m running an Amped Outdoors Lithium battery. I currently have a 52 ah battery, which lasts two full days of fishing. If you wanted more battery run time, you could buy one of their batteries with a higher ah. I’m using the 52 because of the size restriction of my battery compartment. I like the Amped Outdoors battery because it runs at 16.8 v to start and slowly works its way down toward 12 v. When it is up about 13.5 ah I get my best image.
Don’t run anything less than 33ah, in my opinion. I have a 48ah
Nice video Nick
I somehow set an offset distance in my forward view, have you ever done that
I haven’t! Does it help you?
I’ll give them settings a try.🎣
Right on!
What’s the mount you’re using for your cameras? Great set up brother
It's made by Small Rigs. They have them on Amazon
love watching your videos, I got a question for you, I'm fishing a lake were the walleyes are suspending 8 to 10 feet over 30 to 40 of water, what baits should i throw ?
Slip bobber, jig & crawler, jig & plastic, possibly a jerkbait.
Would you use this same setup for just vertical jigging in the boat or would you go to down imaging ?
I’d go same setup
Can u show your transducer angle to your pole ? I loose bottom after certain distance
It's pointed straight down (flat), then bump it one "tick" upward.
Thank you for another great video! So you don't use the active captain app wifi to screen record? You use an HDMI cable? Was I hearing that correctly?
I actually use the Active Captain a lot. I’ve just been using a recording device with the HDMI cord right now. It’s easier in the boat. The app is nice on ice though because there’s less “baggage” to carry around.
@@NickLindner hey thanks I'll have to look into that. Is there a certain brand that works best?
Thank you 😊
Of course!
great video!
Thank Joe
Thanks
No problem Mike
🥦 I do run the compass on I was told the bottom stays more stable in rough water?
I think that could be true. I just don’t have any issues with my setup with it off. I have buddies who have needed it. It just varies from unit to unit I think.
have you noticed forward range is limited by water clarity?
Yes and pollen in water makes it terrible, do not adjust for pollen, unless you write all your setting down on a piece of paper, I would suggest all you new fellows write down all your setting down when you get them close, so if you have any problems, so got something to go by, after you write them down, play with your unit to understand what each setting does, and if you get it too far out of adjustment, you can go back to your paper and straighten it out yourself. You gotta play with it to understand it.😊
All types of conditions will impact the readout and range for sure! I’ll tweak things from lake to lake.
Is that the ghost unit you're using for your trolling motor?
It’s an Ultrex trolling motor
Can you provide me with the Ark Lab system that you are using.
It’s on their website

Fellows if you don’t have the same transducer and unit that he has these setting probably will not work, might be close, but not sure.😊
Same transducer for sure. Unit is less important, but the difference between LVS32 and 34 is huge
Which transducer are you using, I think I heard on the video, but forgot.
@@dannylang7971 lvs34
Thanks my friend
You should get a taller camera mount. You look uncomfortable and a bit awkward standing half hunched over and talking to the camera.
This was a tricky one because I wanted my camera near my graph because I was going to be playing with the graph the entire time for the video.
