Underwater cameras for ice fishing

[RonPaulFan]

Fish finders were like abstract art to me, so I bought my MarCum LX-9 because it had a camera that displayed the picture with the data and blobs of colors at the same time. That way, when I'm ice fishing and see color blobs that I don't know what they are, I'll lower the camera down and look at a real picture. One time I saw, well it's hard to describe and I didn't know what it was, so I lowered my camera down and saw it was a tree underwater with fish swimming in and out of it. Other times, it helps me understand bottom features. It takes the guessing out of it. I've been trolling with my friends and many times I've wanted to stop to lower my camera down, but the ship captain kept trolling. After a while, I got to where I can identify half of what I see on the fish finder without the camera, but I'm glad I have that feature. Both the display and camera are high resolution and I like that it holds huge amounts of recorded video. Sometimes the fish when ice fishing are hard to feel when they take the lure into their mouth making it hard to know to set the hook. My solution is to actually watch them take the lure into their mouth on high resolution video. Here is a search link on my posts on the MarCum LX-9
