Hey Cody. I just got my livescope unit delivered to me. Ive never used one before. Dumb question, when I adjust my pole, how far below the ice do i set the transducer? Is it just below the ice like a flasher or do I do it differently? Thank you!
Thanks for the great video, I have the same setup, when I pull my menu up on live scope it covers the whole screen and I notice your menu is on the right hand side only. Is this a certain setting.
I keep having to move my transducer a couple clicks when I want to switch from FWD to Down. What am I doing wrong that allows you to just switch from on the screen and not adjust the 'ducer? Great video. Well done.
Yes, you don’t always necessarily have to change the position of the transducer. Specially when you are in deeper water. However; when you change the position you will get a little clearer picture.
I am also having a problem with my transducer. When I first got my unit I left the transducer in one position. Now If i do that in forward mode the lake bottom shoots almost straight up. If I click the transducer up a click or two the bottom levels out. The same goes for down mode. I have to click the transducer down a click. All this just happened when I started ice fishing a few weeks ago. Before this I just kept the transducer level. How can I correct this problem.
Don't you have to change the orientation of the live scope? For-instance you had it in forward view to search - once you drilled your holes and put the scope back in shouldn't you adjust the transducer so that it's aimed down not forward?
@Cody S. ahh all good I figured it out loll I couldn't find a Blackbox 2 prone power supply to run to my gpsmap8610 cause livescope kit came with 95uhd livescope kit totally different power supplies I upgraded to gpsmap but thought ice fishing bundle power supply would work guess I was wrong.
I do! But this year I am going to be running a new pole from Sniper Marine! Much more durable and user friendly. The pole from sniper marine is collapsible so the length can be adjusted.
so i have noticed that if i dont set my ducer in the down mode and and its set in forward mode if will not read my jigs properly so i have to turn my transducer to the forward mode to use it
I must be choosing garbage areas right now the last 3 days I’ve gone out. Only seen 3 I’m assuming large pike or walleye but not a single panfish school or group. Learning lessons I suppose. The con of this amazing thing is it makes me pretty impatient with any spot since I just forward scope around the hole and keep moving to find them.
Do they sell these garmin live scope in that setup or do you have to buy it separately. I noticed that these can be use in boat which set up will be different and im wandering if they sell that full set up you have for ice fishing as is which will make it easier to buy but if not Can I get a list of what you have for that set up that will be great.
You can get a Garmin bundle. But everything I have was bought separately. - 9” echo map -Garmin Livescope LVS 32 -Amped Lithium Battery -Summit Shuttle
Livescope allows you to see out over 100ft. Cameras will only see out so far in certain water conditions. Now I’m not saying cameras aren’t convenient in certain situations, but they are limited.
@leoflexx1 also, this setup is still very portable compared to stringing a camera all the way o the bottom and getting it set up. With this type of unit you can easily hole hop to stay on the fish, which is pretty challenging with a camera.
Great video. Doesn't Garmin have a shortcut button that would allow you to switch between forward facing and down view since this a common functional use of livescope? That would be a super handy feature rather than jumping in and out of menu tiers...
@@CodyS Comment a description of the equipment and model that you use in this video and then pin it. I know you mentioned it in the video but I couldn't hear it clearly. Thanks.
😂😂😂 this is the most irrelevant comment about Livescope I have yet to see! Most people that comment stuff like this either are mad they don’t have it or don’t truly understand how it works. Livescope does not put fish on the ice for you, period. Get off your $1200 smartphone and go get yourself a Livescope unit. You’ll thank me later! Tight lines friend.
@@CodyS guys never dropped a line in a giant school and got zero bites. Fish still gotta cooperate. But he’s probably the same guy that bitched about car phone bags in the 90’s or ACOG’s in the military because he used irons
Thank you, I just moved up from a Vexilar to live scope. This is really helpful in terms of the settings and what to look for.
Dude this was Awesome help for I guy who doesn’t need all the stuff this unit does to just catch some fish thru the ice
Thanks for the video Cody. Just got an ice bundle and will be trying it in next couple days, your videos help a bunch
No problem!
Hey Cody. I just got my livescope unit delivered to me. Ive never used one before. Dumb question, when I adjust my pole, how far below the ice do i set the transducer? Is it just below the ice like a flasher or do I do it differently? Thank you!
Yes, I like to have it a couple inches below the ice!
@@CodyS Thanks man!
Been looking for a video like this for a while thank you
Thanks for the great video, I have the same setup, when I pull my menu up on live scope it covers the whole screen and I notice your menu is on the right hand side only. Is this a certain setting.
It depends on the graph you use I believe
This setup could theoretically work on a crappie dock too?
Love the content! Had a question on calibrating compass. Do I have to do this for ice fishing
Yes!
Great explanation of how you use your Garmin
Thanks!
I keep having to move my transducer a couple clicks when I want to switch from FWD to Down. What am I doing wrong that allows you to just switch from on the screen and not adjust the 'ducer? Great video. Well done.
Thanks! And I just keep the top of the ducer flat. And that works for me.
I noticed you didn't move the transducer while you were changing the orantation from forward to down on the unit Is that ok? @4:50
Yes, you don’t always necessarily have to change the position of the transducer. Specially when you are in deeper water. However; when you change the position you will get a little clearer picture.
@@CodyS gotcha, thanks for the video...
When you were saying there's a giant school between 80-90 feet and then also 70-80 feet I only saw whatever was at 50-60 feet 😊
I am also having a problem with my transducer. When I first got my unit I left the transducer in one position. Now If i do that in forward mode the lake bottom shoots almost straight up. If I click the transducer up a click or two the bottom levels out. The same goes for down mode. I have to click the transducer down a click. All this just happened when I started ice fishing a few weeks ago. Before this I just kept the transducer level. How can I correct this problem.
Sounds like you may have to calibrate your compass. You can do this in settings on your graph.
I calibrated the compass. This took care of the problem. Thanks for the advice.

You can do this yes. But sometimes it is not always necessary.
@@CodyShey, whatever makes it easier!
how did you set up your your power supply I can't find 2 prong livescope for my gpsmap
What do you mean?
@Cody S. ahh all good I figured it out loll I couldn't find a Blackbox 2 prone power supply to run to my gpsmap8610 cause livescope kit came with 95uhd livescope kit totally different power supplies I upgraded to gpsmap but thought ice fishing bundle power supply would work guess I was wrong.
Do you use the same transducer pole from your boat also? If so what length pole mount did you go with?
I do! But this year I am going to be running a new pole from Sniper Marine! Much more durable and user friendly. The pole from sniper marine is collapsible so the length can be adjusted.
@@CodyS thanks man might check them out also. Im shopping around atm
I've been waiting for a video like this for a while now, thanks!!
No problem!
so i have noticed that if i dont set my ducer in the down mode and and its set in forward mode if will not read my jigs properly so i have to turn my transducer to the forward mode to use it
Sometimes just moving the transducer position in the hole will fix this. But switching it to down mode will always be the best option.

What transducer mount is that?
Summit in this video
Where can I get that pole? I don’t see it on summits website
You may have to contact them directly
Thanks for the information👍
Awsome video helped me a ton.

You can get a Garmin bundle. But everything I have was bought separately.
- 9” echo map
-Garmin Livescope LVS 32
-Amped Lithium Battery
-Summit Shuttle
Can you explain how to view it on phone. Also record
I can make a video for this!
On the 32 you dont need to angle ducer head for forward and down view? Just change in menu?
Nah, you definitely can for more detail but it’s not necessary for run and gun situations.
Great demo!
Thanks!
Amy reason why you would choose the livescope over a actual video camera, I have the aqua-vu 10i pro, not sure if I would ever get the livescope..
Livescope allows you to see out over 100ft. Cameras will only see out so far in certain water conditions.
Now I’m not saying cameras aren’t convenient in certain situations, but they are limited.
@@CodyS fair enough, this is my second season ice fishing so I'll hold off on the pricer equipment till latter but anyways thx for the information
@leoflexx1 also, this setup is still very portable compared to stringing a camera all the way o the bottom and getting it set up. With this type of unit you can easily hole hop to stay on the fish, which is pretty challenging with a camera.
Sweet video the fish were stacked
Yessir
@@CodyS I actually learned a lot. Thanks boss
Does that work on 34 or do I have to change angle of ducer?
Should work on the 34 too
What is the brand of your transducer pole?
Summit
Great video. Doesn't Garmin have a shortcut button that would allow you to switch between forward facing and down view since this a common functional use of livescope? That would be a super handy feature rather than jumping in and out of menu tiers...
It would be super! I am still waiting for that!
I use the acronym SIO to do it quickly. Sonar, installation, orientation
So do you have to adjust the actual transducer to go from forward view to down view? Or is it just changing the mode on the unit itself?
It works better when the transducer is adjusted but you can use it either way.
good video
dude.. how deep was that ice?
3”!
What transducer??
LVS 32
What battery??
Amped Outdoors
Don't you need to tip the transducer for down view?
It’s not necessary! But you definitely can!
I want to hear the dialog not some dumb music that drowns out the talking.
C’mon the music wasn’t that loud was it!?
I agree i cant stand back ground music.
MHO if you don't have a livescope system whether it be garmin, lowrance or humminbird, just stop fishing until you own one.
Which one is better? Between the 3 of them ?
Garmin or hummingbird. Only two options but garmin. 😊
Can you pin your set up in the video?
What do you mean?
@@CodyS Comment a description of the equipment and model that you use in this video and then pin it. I know you mentioned it in the video but I couldn't hear it clearly. Thanks.
LIVESCOPE IS RUINING FISHING….NO SKILLS NEEDED….JUST TAKE YOUR KID’S VIDEO CONSOLE AND PLANT HIM ON THE DECK OF YOUR BOAT…..VERY SAD…..
