    Can some of you that have livescope or active target post some pics of the way you have mounted? I am wanting to pull the trigger on this for our boat, but don't want to mount transducer on trolling motor and want to see independent mounting options..

      I'll try to get some pics tonight of my transducer mount. I made the pole out of 1.25" PVC and 1" PVC inside of it so I could turn it. Bought some Ram mounts and ubolts to mount it all to boat. There are several pics online, that's how I got the idea. There are also poles made specifically for this but they are pricey. Mine works surprisingly well, plus I can take it off anytime easily.

        You could get the 10 inch on Facebook for used for $800 to $900 or go Russell marine has one for $1k. https://www.russellmarineproducts.co.../6-g1022-u.htm

        Key is to get that smaller graph way high closer to your eyes! See my mount on the bow.

          First pics are mine and I made the adjustable graph mount and the pole is a pole ducer from shut up and fish. The second boat is my father in laws and I made his pole out of pvc and also the adjustable mount.

          And it is 100% worth it👍

                It depends on the person but for me it was. Helps me tremendously and a lot of fun watching the fish. I doubt you'd find anyone anywhere say....."nah, it sucks... sending it back".

                        If that’s the case then I want to hunt high fence with live scope. Don’t have a lot of years left.

                          We have Active Target. It's pretty cool! Still working through the learning curve. And right now it's mounted on the trolling motor shaft. Definitely need to change that set-up. We almost exclusively fish for bass but have stumbled onto some dang good crappie spots!

                            Well I bought one and wow it’s fun. I so far don’t regret the smaller screen. I just zoom in to the pilons or brush piles and it’s all good. Definitely have learned a lot about crappie and how they act.

                              Does anyone reckon they will reduce crappie limits in the coming years? Sure seems like everyone is whackin on em pretty good.

                                They need to start stocking them like they do bass. Seems that would be helpful. As we stock bass but no one keeps them. Seems unsustainable for the other fish.
