way to go Austin and Shar! That was some fast fishing. Did you tip your spoon with anything? I need to get up there and try for some crappy. Did I mention I love your boat man!
I tipped with gulp maggots and crappie nibbles, and shar stuck with night crawler. It didn't seem to matter what it was tipped with, but they for sure wanted something! I've got a fishy boat and I hope she lasts forever ha!
You have a choice between two methods to start with. The first is to decide whether you want to mount the Livescope transducer on a pole (as I've done on the right side of my boat), or the second is to mount the transducer on your front trolling motor. Once you've made that decision, the next step is to locate a suitable position on your boat for installing the Garmin black box. Essentially, the black box (GLS 10) serves as a computer that consolidates all the transducer data and presents it on your screen. In my setup, I've placed the black box beneath my front fish finder display. The final step is to address the power source. I personally power mine using a 30ah lithium battery that I keep stored in one of my front compartments. It's common practice to separate the power source for Livescope units from the boat's main batteries, as these live imaging systems consume a significant amount of power and you should get a clearer picture with a separate power source.
Thanks @@austinolsonoutdoors3039 - I am planning on mounting on a pole similar to yours. I was hoping to hear more about the mounts and pole you chose. Would you change anything, use a different system?
@@douglasperry194 I prefer a pole. It's a lot easier in my opinion, just slower than on the trolling motor. I spot lock a lot so it's helpful in those situations. If you watch some of my older videos I started out with a DIY pole I made out of PVC pipe, now I'm using a 60" Brew City Pole www.brewcitytms.com/. My finder mount is a Stowaway Mount stowawaymounts.com/.
Any small spoon will do the job. I really like using kastmasters, if you can find them with a rattle even better! They work all year long and very dangerous during ice season for both Crappie and Perch. www.sportsmans.com/fishing-gear-supplies/hard-baits/jigging-spoons/acme-kastmaster-dr-tungsten-jigging-spoon/p/p246354
Fun day! Great video
Thanks Shandon!
Great video. Never fished Pineview. You guys make it look easy.
Thanks. If they are in a biting mood, they make it easy! Ha
Very nice Crappie!
They are getting bigger and bigger in Pineview!

Nice outing! I would love to know how you have set up your LiveScope. I am going there this year and will need boat and Ice capability.

Thanks@@austinolsonoutdoors3039! This is very helpful.
@@douglasperry194 No problem. Holler if you think of any other questions, love chatting about anything fishing.
What sort of rig were you using?

How deep of water where you fishing in?
We were in 65 ft, and the fish were anywhere from 25-50 ft deep.
When you don't have a partner let me know I like to learn how . Thanks
If you've got a boat and fish finder you should have no problem catching buckets full honestly. The schools are very easy to find.
