It turned out to be an active day and the weather was beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Twelve pike in one day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t count exactly, but about 12 pike came through the boat. The average size was respectable \u2014 from 70 cm up to 90 cm. All the bigger pike were released, and we took a couple of smaller ones for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also caught one pike on video, an approximately 85 cm fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Haugi tabamine (Lowrance Active Target)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YEgaMaTSISM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forward vs Scout \u2014 which one shows the fish on the bottom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also did a small comparison showing what Scout (Perspective) View on ActiveTarget is needed for. Especially when you\u2019re pike fishing near the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put together 2 images that were taken at the same time. On the left is Forward view, where the pike on the bottom can be seen. On the right is Scout view, where the same pike is circled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug-600x353.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lowrance-activetarget-forward-vs-scout-haug.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forward view on the left, Scout view on the right. The same pike in both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look only at Forward, it\u2019s really hard to tell what that bump on the bottom is. Even if you can identify that it is a fish, you still can\u2019t tell what species it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in Scout view, it\u2019s very clear that this is an elongated fish, and even the tail is visible. 100% pike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this is one of the reasons why I look at two screens at once. With Forward alone, it\u2019s very hard to identify fish on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment used in this post<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lowrance ActiveTarget live sonar \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/marine.ee\/en\/tootekategooria\/marine-electronics\/sonar-sensors-and-modules\/live-sensors\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marine.ee\/tootekategooria\/mereelektroonika\/sonari-andurid-ja-moodulid\/live-andurid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">view products<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Team Lowrance Estonia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day on a bigger lake, about 12 pike through the boat, and one clear answer to the question of what Scout View is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":115991,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11449],"tags":[12958,12960,12961,12962,12959,12963],"class_list":["post-116025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-lowrance-estonia","tag-activetarget-en-1","tag-commentary","tag-fishing","tag-lowrance-en-1","tag-pike-fishing","tag-scout-view-en-1"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116278,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116025\/revisions\/116278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
