I use my camera and watch my jig... Those guys are masters at sucking it in and not making any indication top side, when I use the camera I can tell when it's in their mouth and so I know when to lift and hook them... Problem is it takes time to set up a camera and so I don't do it often enough, but it for sure helps my catch rate and entertains kids and adults... Later Jeff
Hey Jeff -- You still trying Hyrum?...I've surely thought about getting a camera for the perch...guess if I'd have a snowmobile or sno dog to pull all my gear I'd add that, and maybe even get a heavier thermal shelter for the very cold mornings we've got coming up...I'm usually in 40 to 45' of water, and have heard some guys say that at that depth they're not able to see much on the bottom...do you find that to be the case?
I have an aqua-vu and you’re right you can only see 2-3 feet out front when you’re 40-50’ down but I find that the perch are often curious enough if you’re in a school they just kinda slowly side eye the camera it’s kinda funny to watch them.
