Accuphy Ping Live Sonar

[Shockwave]

I started looking into this yesterday. I like the idea that it's cordless to your phone or tablet. Does anyone have any experience with these, or what do you think about it?

Seems neat.

I'd never spend a dime on livescope stuff, but competition is always good.

Probably works great if you have good cell service. But a few places I fish the service is very poor at best and nonexistent in others.

Yeah, I wouldn't want it connected to my phone. An iPad or if you connect it to a TV in the ice house would be nice.

my phone battery goes dead fast enough the way it is. It'd probably be fine if you're in a nice ice house but I can't imagine trying to use it outside. tablet would be froze up in the cold in no time.

You'd have to hook something up to your phone for continuous charge, Onx eats cell battery quick enough.

I hope it's true for the sake of competition with the big 3.....however, I'm betting it's too good to be true. I'd have to see it to believe it.

Does anyone ever just drop a line and fish without setting all this shit up anymore?

yep

Just use the Vex. Know people that have the sonar rigs, pisses them off more chasing fish they see and they don't bite anyhow.

I've gotten to the point that the second I see a clip of someone using livescope, my interest in said video drops to zero.

I still use my Marcum M5 and my wife bought a Livescope a few years ago. It's a cool tool to see where certain things are in the water and it's fun watching fish come in from a distance. We don't do a lot of running and gunning since I like getting the shelter up and heat on. I agree if you're out in the cold with this set up the tablet or your phone will freeze up and die pretty quickly. I only see this being useful if you have an ice house and you don't have to run a bunch of cords and have a big clunky set up for live imaging.

I see that its a Canadian company, with a price tag of around 1700 about 1200 hundred American. Then you would want to get a tablet that's made for outdoors and the range from 2000 down to 800. I can see the other manufacturers doing the same set up in the future and prices continuing to go down once more people own them.

I bought an active target 2 for the boat this summer. I had the Lawrance graph already and there was a big sale. I think I spent more time turning the pole to find my lure than I did fishing. Curious to try it this winter. I am not much of a run and gun because cold weather sucks, but watching the fish swim up to your bait and not bite is better than fishing blind.

went to order one of these and when I went to check out there was a duty of $221 tacked onto it... with shipping that puts it around $730... might have to see if I can get a friend up in canada to order it and bring it down to me lol.

 

[risingsun]

I was going to order some fishing lures from up north. Same thing, went to check out and the amount almost doubled due to tariffs it said.
