    Any tips on settings? Hoping to have it installed on Monday. Have a HB 360 to compliment it. Fished with a couple guys that have it. Looks like fun.

    Jay goes over his setting at the 13:45 minute mark in the video. They work well for me most of the time.

    one thing to remember when using other fisherman’s settings is that the body of water they fish on at the time of using those settings will likely be alot different than the lake you’re fishing on…water clarity, algea blooms, sunny or cloudy conditions, etc ALL can effect your Livescope display.

    The best advice is to know how the Livescope transducer beam works and get a real good understanding of what the different settings actually do, that way you can then tailor them to your lake. The most important ones are Gain, Color limit and TVG…those are the ones you’ll be changing the most…oh and stay in Manual mode so only you are the one changing things…

    Just used it tonight for the first time. Have a sore neck from looking down the whole time. Saw a pike hit my DT-10 by the boat. Kinda fun. I see it will take time to dial it in. I hit the pro mode accidentally. Not sure what that is. I might need to get my buddies to hop in the boat and help me out. Wish me luck. I don’t ice fish, snowmobile, or hunt. This is all I got and winter time rod building for the next year.

    On LOW last weekend-
    Amber
    Noise rejection high
    TVG off
    Color gain 75
    Gain 62
    75 feet forward

    It changes by the body of water and even as the battery goes down during the day.

    Thanks. I’m getting the hang of it, but always room for improvement.
