I have been out twice with new garmin on a cove full of crappie.
I have been wearing myself out watching that screen and only catching a few.
First day they were spread out all at 20 feet and not really chasing or eating anything.
Grandson and I caught 12 but only 4 keepers.
2 days later it was a whole different picture show. Stacked schools of crappie, chasing, schools of baitfish, lots of movement to the fish and screen was full. But only caught 4 dinks. Once, I got 8 good size fish to rise to my bait, surround it, look or smell the niblet on there and 7 of them scrambled as if a bomb had went off. One stayed and stayed and stayed but never bit, then boogied.
Lesson learned-boy do I suk at crappie fishing.
Without livescope I would think I just wasn’t near them.
Now I know better.
