Ice Fishing Underwater Camera

[utahgolf]

so I usually put my camera about 2-3 feet away from the lure, and unless you drill your two fishing holes close together, you will only be seeing one lure. Turning the camera and positioning it, isn't really that bad, they make a round disk for the cable cord. Now finding your jig in low light is tough, early morning it can take a bit. I usually don't bother with the camera until that hot early morning bite is over and when the sun has been up for a bit I put the camera down. At strawberry early/clear ice when the sun is up mid morning, you will have no problem seeing all the way down to 45 feet sometimes on the newer cameras. If there's snow on the ice than much shallower. It really just depends on the conditions. I was at henry's over the weekend and we setup on white/snowy ice and I had a hard time seeing at 9 feet. A camera is fun and it has helped me catch fish, you can see when that jig is in the fishes mouth and set the hook versus them having the jig by the head. You can see a fish feeding on the bottom and leave your jig on the bottom for awhile and they will vacuum it right up etc.... It's definitely helped in situations... The cabelas advanced anglers series are decent units and that's what I have. Just don't get lazy with a camera or finder. Lots of people only jig when they see fish on either one. Keep up the jigging to call fish in. Hope this helps.
