Re: The Madness Continues

seen sumthing like that,it was thru the pierce county library,its called "under puget sound"<br />real great for the areas that I frequent,guy has a great system on it,I am shure he has his secrets on how he managed to have a thing hooked up to his downrigger and he was able to pan left and right about 30-40 Deg.<br /><br />it was real cool when he had it facing backwards and his fishing gear was set up and a salmon is following and then strikes-WOW what a view.<br /><br />anyway that might be possible thru your local library,its called a "inter-library loan",then might call it diffrent in them hills ....<br /><br />let us know....<br />Peace

Re: The Madness Continues

we have the older type Aqua-Vu but don't use it very much because its too much of pain to use it and fish at the same time. <br /> older style image

Re: The Madness Continues

I purchased the low-end model about 2 months ago. I will tell you that once you begin to use it, find the fish, PUT THE CAMERA AWAY, and then begin fishing. I've spent many hours looking at the fish, but then not even trying to catch them. Open water is hard to keep the camera steady. <br />I will say that it is really nice to be able to identify what is on your locator. I have found that the locator probably misses 75% of the fish. <br />It's great for ice fishing too. It's quite the site to see a pike grab a shiner. <br />Later...<br />Dman

Re: The Madness Continues

We use them in our ice shanties. It is also really neat to watch crappie mouth your jig, set the hook on them and watch them get jerked up...it is hilarious.

Re: The Madness Continues

I figure it will be used mostly for terrain and weed growth find points..Drop points will show better and also see what depth the ambushers are..<br />Ya still got ta catchem..<br /><br />Its frustrating enough by not catchingem when ya can't see them,let alone watch through a viewer and see them laughing at us.<br /><br />It has a night scope which will help locate immoble fish..This toy has a adapter so you can hook a cam to it..Better than an aquarium<br />Tried it last night in my neighbors pool...Never knew the nasty stuff that hangs around at the bottom of a ten foot pool..

Re: The Madness Continues

Have you ever talked to your doctor about prozac or rydilin. Something has got to work for you. My wife would not demand that she gets to spend that much because I did. She would just go and get the Glock and empty the clip in me. I will be anxious to play with it at Watts Bar.
