What are your thoughts on using the Livescope, it looks interesting are they useful hate to ask it they are worth the money because if you have the money or if you don't could make the difference. General thoughts pro's and con's.

I already get frustrated by my depth finder telling me there are all kinds of fish beneath me, I don’t need more frustration by having one tell me there is one at 2:00, on the bottom, below that log...Thanks!
I need the one that tells me what they want to eat!
I am kidding of course! For those that can afford all this technology, consider yourselves blessed. I would love to fish in a boat that has this stuff to learn all the possibilities, of course. These would just confirm for me what I suspect that I am doing wrong. 😉

Thanks I did see a youtube and the person listed positives and negatives. One negative was that he found he watched the screen like a video game and stopped fishing with the methods he had learned to use.

I believe it. I thought about getting an Aqua View camera when my kids were small, but knew they would be glued to it, instead of appreciating the opportunity to be out there enjoying nature and trying to outsmart a meal or two.
The technology works great on TV (but what doesn’t?).
If I fished for a living I would certainly have it as it would be provided by the sponsors. I am “old school” and cheap 😉
But I am not easy! 😂

I have seen it work and would love to own one, but afraid it would cost me a divorce. As I fish 4-5 days a week now and am constantly buying fishing gear.

Going to wait a year and see if price goes down.

A friend of mine won a pan optics and live scope in a raffel. somewhere around 3,000 dollars worth and it is great. You can see the fish swimming, and attack your lure as clear as on tv. Amazing but very $$$$$$$

Well I did get a rebate so I’ll be putting it on the g3 soon.
