Camera Action

I was doing some sight fishing for panfish with a camera. What a blast to pick and watch fish. I saw FOUR pike strike at small sunnies in a two hour period. Some pike would lay in front of the camera for 10 minutes at a time.

Hey neighbor, I need to take you to my secret lake #2. I'll swing by your place of work and we can discuss this.

Ive seen the same thing, the pike hide in the weeds below the jig and ambush the sunnies coming into the bait. Ive also had northerns take a few swings at the camera, and its not one thats shaped like a fish.

I was out on Monday with my AquaVu Scout. All of a sudden the camera took a big swing. When it straightened out I saw the side of a big pike. Then he turned and came at the camera again. He took a couple swings at it and nudged it a couple times. What a funny thing to see that up close.

I will see you Monday, Buzzsaw. I have the weekend off.

I have the AquaView ZT Series and man what a blast fishing with it. I like to drill a hole about 10 feet from the shack and drop it down and run the coard into the shack, I really don'y like dropping it in my whole to see whats biting my line because alot of times it gets tangled up when a fish is on. 10 feet away is great, you can see everything that cruises by. Last weekend I had it on a lake in Wisconsin and had 1 HUGE slime rocket check the camera out, it sat over a pop can that was on bottom and I could tell easily that it was a very nice fish probably 40"+ I used it trout fishing last year and they love to check the camera out. Never had a pike hit the camera but the sunnies like to peck at the cord for some reason once in awhile. Great viewing while I am fishing.

Few years back I had a musky grab the camera and take off. We saw it coming then everything went black and cord went taut. It spit it out and then came around and stared right into the camera for a few minutes before swimming away.

Last night on tonka I had a pike hit my camera. He then watched it for the next 5 minutes. I have the bluegill pattern. One thing that annoys me is all of the panfish that bump the camera. I try to keep it locked on my bait but they keep running into it and making it spin...stupid fish

Matt, Put the tail fin on and you won't get nearly as much swing. I took the weight off for winter, but leave the tail fin on for down viewing. Horizontal viewing is the most fun to watch though.

Which lake besides tonka are you guys using your cameras at? The lakes where I fish are too stained for long distance (3+ feet) viewing. Some names would be greatly appreciated. Not much fun when you can only see 2 feet infront of the camera.

I have been using mine on Forest Lake, Bald Eagle, South center, chisago. They work better during the day, at night even with the lights it isn't worth even watching. The plankton makes it hard to see.
