    Crappie Christmas Tree

    Here is a school of crappie I found today on a brushpile with my Livescope. Looks like a crappie Christmas tree to me! And yes they were biting :)

    Royt are you taking a pic with your phone or is there a way to do screen shots. I have a 93sv+ and found some trees like yours is showing but my phone pics sucked.

    That looks like a screen shot.
    Make sure Screenshot capture is on.
    Settings>System>Display>Screenshot Capture>On
    Hold Home button in for at least 6 sec.
    It will put the file on your SD card.

    Ok thanks that sounds easy enough, what format will it be on the sd card, jpg?
    I too would like to see more screenshots, then the settings on the unit to get them.
    I thought I had mine dialed in last trip out, but when I switched to a different part of the lake I had to adjust some things to get a good picture again.
    Not a big deal, I think it was because I was in an area with lots of rocks, versus the previous area was soft bottom.

    Was miserable fishing weather, 47 deg, rain and then some wind, but I finally figured out how to do the screenshot. This is a brushpile I found and caught 18 nice crappie from today

    I have my color gain turned up to make the fish brighter and this pile was on a hard bottom.
    Wait, the bottom does look different in txdyna65's post. Don't know.

    I think I have the bottom fill ON, maybe thats why it looks different? I tried looking last time out.
    I found this brushpile yesterday, tried getting several pics of it but this was the best one. Was kinda windy and boat movement prevented good pics. We caught 12 big crappie, several small ones and my dad landed this 7lb hybrid.

    Thanks Roy, I told him a shark had come on the screen and was going after his jig, so we kinda knew it was either a hybrid or a largemouth.
    After seeing crappie on the screen a hybrid or largemouth looks like a shark compared in size lol.
    My dad is 75 now and that was his biggest, glad Im able to take him out and enjoy fishing together.
