I have an underwater camera and it is a hoot through the ice. I've used it from
Deer Creek, Strawberry and on up to the Gorge. My friend attached his to the downrigger ball and watch the K. Salmon tag the lure.
The only problem with it is that it does not replace a fish finder. And they tell a lot more than the camera. I would fish with 2 poles and the camera lined up with both baits. You would get lots of takes and didn't see a thing on your pole. Even full in the mouth and they'd swim off and the jig come out of the mouth and often nothing showed on the pole. They are fun. But I only take it when the grandkids want to watch. It gets a lot of attention. You can only put so much on the sled. I have the Cabellas advanced Angler system camera. And I haven't been disapointed. But if I had to pick I'd take the fish finder. It tells the depth and if anything is approaching. Hope that helps.
