Underwater Cameras

[N.E.T.O.]

I use an aquaview (with the big silver fish). Out of the box I don't know how it would be that useful for anyone. Cousin was ready to throw it away after the first couple of uses until we modified it. We modified ours using a hanger to create a stand for the "fish" to set level on the lake bottom. (I understand now that these "stands" can be purchased ready made...). Since when you ice fish (in a shack of course...the camera is WORTHLESS without a shack...too bright outside) you usually drill all your holes in a line, we found that upon initial setup, we have to lift the fish from the bottom, and pan it manually (lift the fish from the bottom...twist the cord to turn the fish...set it back down on the bottom) until we see our lures...then we leave it alone the rest of the day. If set up properly, one can see all 4 jigs (2 fisherman...2 poles each) all in a line. We drill a 5th hole at the end just for the camera. What the others said above is true about visibility. Bright days down to about 40 feet usually works good. 25 feet is awesome. Cloudy dark days, lots of snow and slush, deeper water, and you are lucky to see two feet. We love the camera and use it whenever we can. The fishfinder is our primary weapon however!
