Question about underwater Camera

[Lee]

I have the DT-100 and use it to "see" what my depth finder is showing. True it is a lot of seat time but it should save me time once I truly understand what the depth finder is saying. I don't think it would be an effective way of finding fish.

My thinking is the same. I don't really want to just find fish each trip. I am looking at one more for the long run. I was hoping it would give me a better understanding of what is going on down there. I remember an article in one of my magazines about a scuba diver. He would scuba dive on some small mouth rivers. I don't remember the article to exactly but I do remember him saying that he learned alot from doing it. It seems that he seen something about the Smallies going for craws with one pincher more often than two. I don't think this would give me that kind of info but a better understanding of what is going on underneath the boat has to help you. Also on more pressured lakes it would be great to know that the fish are really there just not interested in taking your bait.

Anyway thanks for the advice.

They are fun....too much and you'll end up like Trapper said....looking for fish more than fishing.

One time at Dale
John Davis and I were discussing it one day and he told me this story. He found a school of spots on it and tried everything to get them to hit. When he came back the next day he brought some night crawlers. They wouldn't hit them.

My point is that just because you find fish doesn't mean they are going to eat. It is, however, a neat tool for site seeing. Heck, you could watch your buddy fish live bait or spawning fish....if that's your thing.
