LiveScope Easy Mode Is Over (The New Rules to Get Bit)

LiveScope (forward facing sonar) changed bass fishing, but if you’ve noticed it’s getting harder to make fish bite, you’re not imagining it. In this episode we break down the 2026 LiveScope playbook: how to trigger bites when bass follow but won’t commit, and how to choose the right lure category based on what the fish are doing on the screen. We start with a suspending jerkbait + LiveScope deep dive (jerkbait positioning, cadence, and the exact “conversion” cues), then zoom out into a full scope arsenal approach—how a top scoper rotates through traditional and non-traditional baits to catch fish most people write off as “uncatchable.” What we cover in this podcast: Why LiveScope fish are harder to catch now (and what actually changed) Suspended jerkbait on LiveScope: boat position, cast angle, and distance rules Cadence and trigger moves that turn followers into biters “Read the fish” decisions: when to speed up, slow down, or leave and return The lure-category system: when each bait type wins on forward-facing sonar Non-traditional “scope baits” most guys ignore (and when they shine) Simple, repeatable rules for bait selection so you stop guessing Follow Pake South: Instagram/TikTok: @pakesouthfishing Facebook: Pake at the Lake Baits mentioned in the pod: Berkley Stunna Jerkbait 112: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkl...
