[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 438063, member: 755"] I've been running my LVS34 for 2 years now, both open water and ice. 1. Yes, you can absolutely tell which way fish are moving 2. I can confidently say there are times they skirt the beam, specifically on forward mode pointed right at them. A. Last weekend I watched a school of crappie come straight at me from 50 feet away. They got to 20 feet away and I watched them swim around me, staying 20 feet out, until they got past me. They then continued on the same line as what they were on before the skirted me. B. A friend was on Winnipeg recently and said his friends without Livescope outfished him noticeably, especially bigger fish. He'd see them come in and stop 20 feet out, never coming in. The last day he experimented and didn't use LS, caught more and his biggest than his days with Livescope. C. Another friend of mine was talking with a guide in MN on a trip he recently took. Allegedly they "herd" panfish to clients by using multiple livescopes away from where the clients are fishing and they push the fish to them. Said they aren't the only guide doing it and it's upped their catch so much that they can actually turn more clients per day because of it. 3. With the LVS34 model I can see fish confidently at 150 feet, tougher but possible out to 200 feet as long as there aren't major humps or dropoffs - this is in 30 feet of water. Distances go down the shallower you get as Allen mentioned. [/QUOTE]
