I LOVE the camera - but if you don't have a flasher/show-down or other sonar - spend your money there. A sonar is a far more useful tool. You can learn a lot with a camera (it's not just a toy), but it def. can spook fish - esp. in clear water (but not always). It seems to me that fish will be shy of the camera or not, in the same way that sometimes you can catch them easily, and sometimes they're tight-lipped. I owned a FishTV and returned it quick. I'm not familiar with Vexilar cams, but they're probably good. AquaVu and Marcum are the other two brands you'll want to look at. I'd recommend something that displays direction, depth and temp. Consider cord length for the depth where you'll be fishing. Especially, I prefer IR to white LED's. I'm more concerned about white visible light spooking fishing (but I've had glowing eyes swim right in on my presentations illuminated by this light). Experiment. Enjoy!

Way to fish hard! Paid off!

Cool report!

Saw a couple at SAIL - $65 price range. Wanted one until I saw that. I've got a couple of fly reels.

Cheers!

I bet it's starting now. Was out on Quinte Tu/Wed with YoungOne and Kevin - overnight ice was forming in various areas...

$20 = good price! I've found these batteries to be pretty reliable. I've run my Vex over 24hrs on a full charge. Even with an impaired battery - you should be good to get through the day. Running-to-test it sounds like a good idea to me, too.

I wouldn't let wind stop you from going -- you'll just have to choose your launch carefully, and same with where you choose to fish. Safety first!

Nice work - fun stuff

So good!

Young One, Kevin, Mark and I were out yesterday as well - we had a hard time scrapin' 5 or 7 fish up - small eaters and an 8lber. They were all extremely sluggish. We fished HARD and tried many different approaches from just after light until an hour after dark. Yesterday was truly one of those times when it just wasn't on.

Great job on the report - and congrats on the successes fall brought you. I'm sitting on my phone from here on out - not gonna miss another invite!! Oh, and just in the interest of accuracy - she was12lb7oz - my new pb (and it was "last fish" of that day, too -- nice way to end time on the water!)

Nice day!

nice pix!

Nice night,man -- what time did you fish from/to?

Nice!

It was a blast! And a great learning experience! Moosebunk - my experience is limited on BOQ, but if I've learned one thing: bring your jigging gear! If trolling isn't paying off, it's something you can pull out of your arsenal. We trolled everywhere with everything all weekend for one fish (albeit a nice one!). We switched to jigging and put about 15 fish in the boat in three hours -- and some 'reel' quality ones too! Time on the water experimenting is def. the best teacher! And keep an open mind - jigging doesn't necessarily mean all eater-eyes. Sometimes, you don't catch ANY eater-eyes!

YOUNG ONE - msg me yo digits...

GBW / Young-whon - I'll be there for "early" whatever that is... I'm DYING... I'll be coming straight from sudbury... deer huntin' / steelie huntin'.... FishFarmer - I'll stay the week with you and show you where they are!

So who is going down early on the Friday - and is there a spot in a boat? I'll make you a star...

I'm amazed and inspired. Thank you.

I'd like to meet you Wayne. If you crawl in with me, just know that I'm the OUTSIDE spoon. If you're looking to pitch, you lookin' for GBW.

WILL! When are you prefishing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ?

Amount of free booze is directly correlated to amount of time on water (as a non-boater!) ... you guys don't know how lucky you are that I'm just a little more interested in fishing...[sinisterlaugh]
