Twenty years ago I used to fish the upper Niagara quite a bit for muskies. Once I bought the camera I found I spent more time just drifting down the river looking at stuff, the fishing actually suffered because I was too focused on raising and lowering camera and sticking my head in close to the screen. Was fun for a few trips but since I put it away I catch a lot more. Last year ice fishing we brought it along because we took some kids with...kept them busy just like it used to keep me busy!
Hello gentlemen. For Christmas I got a underwater camera and couldn't wait to use it. Just moved up north and I went out the last couple days and got a little action on both days. Caught my first laker through the ice which wasn't big, but my biggest fish through the ice. Much different fight then the perch on Cooks. I definitely recommend one. Can't wait to see a big pike or laker circle my minnow one day. Take care
This is a great idea. We usually fish in only 10 fow I would think this would be a clear way to watch what is going on. I bought a camera years ago when they first came out, finally cracked it out again last year thru the ice and still worked. May try the straight down the whole thing this year
Had one, got rid of it. Having the cable hanging down the hole was a PITA. Fish would make a run and wrap the line around the cable, or swim up to the camera and ignore the bait. I went back to a flasher, gives me all the information I need.
They are great fun, but at times they scare the fish away
so I got
to
the point that I would put it down to check out the structure then pull it till I get a few fish and after that put it back down to watch the fun
pan fish are not too bothered by a camera but trout and whitefish can
