Nick LeBrun: When LiveScope Wastes Time (And When It Works) in Spring

LiveScope / forward-facing sonar (FFS), shallow power fishing, and spring bass fishing aren’t two separate worlds anymore. In this episode, Nick LeBrun explains how he uses LiveScope as a decision tool and a feedback loop—even while he’s power fishing—to figure out what’s happening faster and stop guessing from late winter through the spawn. Nick gets specific on the stuff that actually moves the needle: how he watches for followers on moving baits to diagnose “color vs retrieve,” why better fish often relate to something (not just roaming under bait), and a couple of small “cheat code” adjustments that can turn follows into bites—like panning away once you’ve triggered a fish, or letting a minnow fall all the way to the bottom as a last-ditch closer. We also dig into seasonal decision-making from winter to spawn (including Nick’s contrarian “calendar vs water temp” perspective), plus practical tournament/process advice on efficiency—when to move, how to log boat-position notes, and how to avoid burning fish in practice.
