It's worth it in my book because it provides you situation awareness of what's going on below the surface. Not everyone have intricate knowledge for all fishing spots and fish activities do change somewhat from year to year. Now having this technology doesn't equate to you necessarily catching a lot more fish, simply because sometimes they dont bite even after you've located them. Knowing that they are there at least will let you know if you're doing something wrong with your lure/bait, vs fishing in an empty desert. just my experience using Active Target so far.

Question for you jay. With the ducer mounted to the transom are you able to flip the transducer to use the other modes such as perspective? Obviously the down view isnt needed because you are able to still sharp shoot below you with forward view but just curious about the perspective view. Say for example someone didnt have a bird with MSI or another garmin transducer for their side view where the live imaging perspective view would work. Thanks in advance! Really love the content!

What is the point of traditional sonar or chirp sonar these days?
Everyone knows that livescope is a game changer. Is Chirp just a budget option to livescope these day?
Will there be a day when livescope becomes cheaper and replaces chirp?
If I dont own a fishfinder (and Ive got $2000 lying around) should I just skip over a traditional Sonar unit and go straight to livescope?

The spot lock issue was the reason that I installed mine on a separate pole. Buying a dedicated battery specifically designed for sonars makes the battery use problem go away. I have gotten 12 hours of continuous use from my livescope with a 40 AH battery that is designed to run electronics.

It's very cool to watch. and I can definitely see how it can become hard to pull your eyes away from. But being able to scan/see if you're on fish or not like that? Could pay for itself in a tournament or two. Probably overkill for the very casual angler though.

I like the vids but your should have just bought the humminbird live, not only is it just as good if not better than Garmin, but then you could have linked that to lakemaster and your trolling motor and also not of had to do all that extra mounting

Since you use live imaging, there is no real need for 2D sonar anymore? Or even side imaging or down imaging? Debating if I should get mega live or just a sonar with side and down imaging. I currently have just a helix 7 with GPS and 2d sonar only.

Congrats on putting one on the trolling motor, you're gonna love the speed at which you can find fish with it up there, as well as ability to always be ready to cast at fish, vs holding/pointing a pole mount.

Sorry we missed you and Sam at KBC were I spoke on Aug 8. At least we got served some of your Catch and Cook at Hieberts. Let me know what electronics you are selling as I'd like to upgrade from my Helix 7.
