Live echo-sounder fishing, also known as sharpshooting, is a modern precision technique that involves locating a fish in real time using a live echo-sounder, then presenting your lure or bait directly over that fish, often vertically.
Precision, adaptation and results
Thanks to the live echo sounder, the angler can visualize the position, size and behavior of the fish in real time. He can then choose to present his lure only to the specimens he is looking for, optimizing each fishing action and reducing the time spent prospecting blindly.
Sharpshooting is particularly effective for fishing for pelagic predators (pike-perch, pike, catfish) on large lakes or in deep water, where the fish are moving in open water or close to the bottom, but it can also be used at sea, especially with the Lowrance Active Target, which offers highly accurate echo reproduction.
By observing the reaction of the fish on the screen, the angler can immediately adjust the presentation, animation or type of lure. This instantaneous reactivity helps trigger more attacks, especially from wary or educated fish, and increases the success rate on trophy catches.
Sharpshooting or live echo sounder fishing concentrates effort on the most promising areas and individuals, maximizing the chances of catching big fish and making fishing more productive. This increased efficiency explains its massive adoption in competition and among demanding sport fishermen.
