[quote buckhunterhart]I really like the idea of seeing what is going on under the water and how the fish react to different jigging techniques.[/quote]
You will be able to learn this once you figure out how to work your fishfinder as well. IMO, the biggest shortcoming with a camera is that you cannot see the entire water column, while a finder/flasher/ whatever you get, can see from top to bottom. A sizable number of fish I catch on the ice come through at depths well above where my jig is and I reel up to them. You would be oblivious to them with only a camera.
