So I think I am going to buy this underwater fishing camera for my kayak. It is cheaper than installing a fish finder and is also easier. The ones you see in the local store are pretty expensive but this one has some great features for the price.

Guys...
I have been fishing my entire life, and last Sunday my world was changed forever. I finally got a set-up that I felt was up to task, and it was....except for the hook. I hung a Tarpon and it is one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life and I have done it all. I shit you not, it is like lassoing a Cheatah and trying to pull it in. Sky high launches out of the water. Furious, furious fight. He straightened my hook out, and I haven't thought about a Bass since. I will get one, and there will be pics. Oh, yes, there will be pics. |

The low cost compared to the big retailers makes it a lot more justifiable as well. I may get a fish finder eventually but to get a good one the investment will be over $150 easy. I hope it proves beneficial. |

The only bad thing is it doesn't record. I could always record the screen with my phone though. It will be really neat just seeing what's down there.

I just bought the underwater camera. I am currently awaiting the wife questioning what the $150 was spent on. I think I will tape depth markers on the cord and build some kind of custom device for moving it around and rotating it.
Some kind of extending rod to reach out further and so that I can let cord out and brink it back and clamp the cord for keeping it at one spot. It comes with a little bobber to also help keep it in one spot once you find the depth you want. It is supposed to come around September 2nd so I can't wait to get it out there. It will be invaluable for ice fishing as well. |

![]() It's been a slow few weeks at my fishing hole. I think the snaggers got most of the fish.. But I did get a new personal record fish this afternoon! I'm not sure what the weight was but I'd guess 20+. I think I'm gonna cut some perch up this weekend and head to the Kansas river. |

I got to try out my underwater camera today in my kayak. I was very pleased. I could see the fish very well. Amongst the standing trees I was dropping the camera and quickly located the crappie. They were pretty active and were at about four feet deep.
The camera itself is shaped like a fish so some would come close and inspect it while others ignored it. It didn't seem to spook them either since I could locate precisely were they were and drop my line down and catch them. It also helped me know where the snags were. The only bad thing about where I was today is that there are hundreds of standing trees. So no one spot has a huge population. They stopped biting around 11 and I presume they scattered to deeper water. The next test will be a smaller lake or creek above a reservoir. |

Man, i have been trying to get someone to video tape me trying to catch one of the monsters.
I have had the most fun fishing of my entire life the last couple of days and I didn't even land of the fish I'm after. I am catching blue gill with bread pulling them right off and hooking him to the big stick, pulling out a bunch of line and then throwing them hail mary style towards the rolling tarpon. No matter how prepared I am for the power of one of these 50+lb monsters it is still a jarring thrill. And no fish gets more air. If you like to fish and eve get the chance to after these guys, yo DO IT. It is Awesome I cannot believe fish like this are in a freaking lake behind my house. As soon as I land one I'll post the pics of everything. |
