Great video of a few thing some of us take for granted.😊
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
How about a video on settings
I’ll work on that. Do you have any specific questions about settings? Thanks for watching!
Y'all caught some nice ones!
Oh yeah! We run across a few good ones from time to time.
Great tip! Would also be helpful to show how users can hone in on the true direction of the target by moving the beam left/right and observing the strength of return/brightness of onscreen target image.
Thank you! Our latest video discusses this in more detail, but I’ll go even further in the near future. I appreciate your feedback. Tight-lines!
Good info Eric! I know I was ready to donate my livescope the first 40 or 60 hours I used it. It’s definitely not as easy as people think. Takes time and LOTS of practice to get good with it!
Definitely have to work at it. It looks easy on TV, but it’s often very different on the water. Thank you for watching!
Excellent video. These are things that took 6 months for me to learn. I set my distance at 30'-40' because it's hard to catch up further out and it's easy to cast beyond the beam. GREAT point.
I generally search with forward range set between 60-80’. Fishing range is 30-40’. Thank you for watching!
Take it 1 step further and show the cone angles, with the buoy, to explain why the jig brightness is best in the middle of the cone and width of the cone at 10' / 20' / 30' / 40' .Wish i would've thought of this instead of trying to explain with words how this works for the last 5 years. I will send the link of that video, if you make it,to folks asking how and why. Since most Garmin FFS settings videos are mostly chalkboards, cardboard and crayons and lies, if you have time please make a settings video so the myth of settings are like down view and side view, just set it and leave it are busted. I change my settings when conditions change, sometimes 10 times on a single trip. Thx
Great idea, I'll work on a video showing all that! Thanks for watching!
Awesome tip for his next video!! I’m glad he already responded.

Thank you!
Definitely need to stop shaking my jig when I can’t see it🤣😂
😂Yeah, don’t do that! Fastest way to turn them away!
You just got a new subscriber! Hard to find a good channel that keeps it family clean and not full of ego. You remind me of my dad in the sense of, you can't keep one in without a smile on. 😁🔥
Thanks for watching! I definitely plan on keeping the videos clean, informative and fun. It’s hard not to smile when you finally convince one to hop in the boat!🤣
Appreciate the tips!👍🎣
You’re welcome!
Good stuff!!! Keep it coming!
Thanks! Will do!
🔥🔥🔥💪🏿

I sure can and will in the near future. Already working on it.
Yes sir I'm ready to come get me some of that
Come on!
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I just locked in boss …
Thank you!

Great info bro!
Thank you for watching!
I sidescan at 4-5 mph 150 ft each side ,I bust ice to fish in my boat.lund 1650 angler ,Minn kota quest ,gt56,lvs34, garmin 8610xsv.Where are you at ? Look up clear lake CA,big open water crappies.I could tell you where to get the best crappie jigs but then I would have to kill ya😂.Good videos you’re good with FF sonar, better than me because I mostly drop straight down.
Sweet rig! I run an Excel Bay Pro 203. All Garmin electronics. I just got an 8612xsv and it’s pretty darn sweet. Recorded this video with my 1022xsv and LVS34. I’m in Central Arkansas. I’ve heard about those Clear Lake crappie. That’s my kind of fishing! Are you from that area? Thanks for watching! Tight-lines!🎣
good video. would love to have your settings. I can't get a picture like that.
I’ll have another video with those details posted soon. Please send me an email at contact@naturalstatefishing.com and I’ll send them to you directly.
I can see my bait at 40ft, however I cannot see or barely see my bait over 60,70,80,90. Is it normal?
Totally normal, especially with the LVS32. The LVS34 provides better clarity beyond 60’, but keep in mind the greater the forward distance, the wider the cone angle. Finding a small object in a wider field of view is difficult. I’ll cover this in our next video.
@ I have lvs34 and it’s not a problem to find, it’s about how it looks 30ft vs 60-70ft barely visible and it’s not a dot.
Same thing with a metal pole in the water, I can see it good up to 45ft, but at 80-90 it barely sees it. Everybody is lying on specs in this world.
@@WarEagleTheBest at 60’ your field of view is over 20’ wide. Probably closer to 30. That’s a huge area to locate relatively small objects. You should be able to recognize larger objects like standing timber or brush piles, but even those will be faint and difficult to interpret. Spotting your bait or a fish for that matter at those distances is highly unlikely. Great settings help, but FFS has limitations. I’ll share a video covering my settings in the near future.
@@NSFGuide OK Hope to see these videos. As it is all manufactures are lying when they claiming all those 150ft numbers FFS can see. In real life it 1/3 what they say.
Is it a drop shot setup for crappie? I see 2 signatures
Egg sinker pegged 12-14” above the jig.
I didn't know Brian Latimer had a brother
I wish I were 1/2 as cool as B. Lat! Thanks for watching!
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing. You ever fish Lake Ozark?
Thank you for watching! Not yet, but I’ll get there soon.
@ I have a place there, hit me up sometime if you want to go
@@RussellRichter-id4lx will do!
Awesome info..
Thank you for watching!
Great lesson mate🍻
Thanks for watching!
Just found and subscribed to your videos. I really enjoyed listening to your calm, professional demeaner. Too bad you are so far from Canada!
Thank you for watching! If you ever get a chance to visit Arkansas please give me a shout. Canada produces world class Slabs. Definitely on my bucket list!
Nice! Use of marker bouy to help train distance control is first class. Im always surprised at how close 20, 30 or even 40' are when you see your jig hit the water. Appreciate you!
Thank you for watching. Forward range is so much shorter than we think. This little trick really helped me dial in range. Now, thanks to lots of practice I can just “feel” the distances.
Great information! Subbed
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Great video with GOOD information. One question, are those just latex gloves? Do they provide any warmth or is there some other reason to wear?
@@JoeCKell thank you for watching! Nitrile gloves 6mil or better provide a degree of warmth and keep my hands dry. Most importantly, they allow me to maintain the “feel” I need to catch fish. As temps drop I’ll wear heavier gloves over the nitriles for added warmth, and remove when necessary. Give them a try!
Great video
Thank you! Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Nice! What are you using, 80# braid for the line to show up like that ? LOL
🤣 It’s only 10# braid. Thanks for watching!
This!!! ☝🏻
Thanks for watching! Give me a shout if you have any questions not answered in this video.
Love the content bro!

I can’t wait to get healthy enough to get my trip
I look forward to it!
Great job bro!
