I was posting for the deal, I agree for most it would be to small, I have a 12 year old Jason Mitchell full thermal voyager that's a beast for one but once it is set up it's perfect.
Yep, realize that.

Anyone come across anything better than interlocking foam for your floors? I had a piece of rubber bottomed carpet called shack mat but it’s on the heavy side.

I haven’t. Found running the half inch is way better than the 1/4 but wish there was something that rolled up. Someone probably has found something better.

I fished with an individual that had it and it did help us find fish I also believe that it made them move more fishing a lot of 25fow. I told him that he had beat up on the fish for too many weeks in a row and they got the game figured out. Take it for what its worth because that is only a sample of one day so there could have been other factors
Was this me? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Its all about more gear and more gear - it makes it so hard to move around

What good does it do me to buy the battery and pole for my live s -- i bought it for the boat---- a. most of the lakes i fish i can see a fair distance with the camera. I see when a perch lips are on my lure. And I have so much gear i am good for one move at the most per day. Ok LS em once but then they move anyway. Guess i am getting old and crabby.

Livescope doesn't really do anything for you ice fishing unless you are running and gunning. It does have a cool factor though and helps to keep you entertained.

How would it be for watching multiple lines in a shack. Say if I take my two daughters and we setup the hub house and set 3 lines. I only got my 1 flasher so could I run the flasher for myself and the LS for them and be able to see what the heck is going on?

If they are in a line, you can see them all really well. It makes it nice since you don't have to look at your dead sticks, just watch the screen and you'll know if there's a fish looking at it.

You still cant beat a camera for kids. Watching them actually bite. IMO the cam does not scare away either.

I haven't used my camera in a few years. Most of the small lakes that I fish, the water clarity isn't good so you can't see much. And on the clear water lakes the bite isn't until near dark, so you can't see much then either.

Out of curosity -- how do you have your power to LS in your boat?

For now, I have it in a shuttle in the boat. I have a 30ah Amped outdoors battery in the shuttle. I just have it mounted to D-Rings with turnbuckles. I drilled holes in the gimbal put in eye bolts. Seems to work well.

I've tripped on this damn thing more times than I can count, may actually have a use for it now

True for entertaining kids but in my experience camera's are limited to just the right conditions and then I have seen it where the camera spook fish
And here this whole time I was blaming them acting weird because YOU were there! :p
Not going to deny that as a possibility. I figured I would strike first and try to make my agenda the correct one just like a certain type of people...muahaha...
