Dale Hollow Report/ Aqua-view camera

[Bonefish]

Boy! Want2retire, that's my desire! I get tired of reading the posts of these guys that can fish when they want. It brings out the jealosy in me. It want be too many years now. I have been reading on the these cameras, and was wondering how good they were. Looks like they are a great toy, if the detail is that good. I am curious about the range or how far it will pick up a fish.

I got the only mo-updel they had left which was one of the cheaper ones.
It was the scout II and it does not record but it does have a hook-up for a external hand held recorder. I went to the aquaview website and they have some good footage of what you can see, I found it to be pretty close.

I was in about 20ft of water and I think it was picking up a horz range of about 6-8 feet. It was overcast with stained water. The light does not help that much during the day but works great at night, I dropped it over the side of the houseboat at night and checked it out. This makes me think that when the sun comes out and the water is halfway clear that this thing will work much better. My ticker was pumping when I saw those big sows!
It let me know that I was on the right spot even if they didn't bite. Used it for about 30 minutes and saw about 10 big fish. No problem with the details on the fish, you could even see the markings on the fish.
