Had two garmin 7600 series units at the end of 2016 on a boat with panoptix when it first came out. I wasn't overly impressed at all with the panoptics, but the units were nice.
currently have a lowrance live at dash and a carbon at bow. I'm just not comfortable with those units. I have a boat on order with a helix in the dash and a garmin unit with livescope at the bow.
From everything I've seen online the livescope is a huge step forward from original panoptics. I'm trying to see if I'm making the right decision with going livescope up front. I rarely fish lakes and don't do much offshore. Basically I'm a river rat. Option 2 is just put a helix up front.
For or you guys that are now fishing with livescope, as the title of my post asks, has it changed your fishing/catching? And has it changed the WAY you fish?
Thanks
