Under water cameras?
#6
The aqua-vu is a great learning tool. It helps me fish without spending too much time trying for the wrong species. It will also teach you how to read your sonar better. If you fish for trout, good luck. I have seen zero trout in hundreds of hours of looking at fish in Deer Creek. For ice fishing, it will work, but trout use the entire water column. Makes it really hard to have the camera at the right depth when a fish swims by. Works great for Perch and Walleye. Fish that are on bottom 95% of the time. Visibility in prime conditions is usually about three feet. And looking into the monitor for a few hours can give you a splitting headache. Best to look for 20 minutes or so and take a break. We have some 1/2" PVC poles rigged up that don't take up much room in the boat and can be screwed together and attached to the camera for aiming. Only works anchored in less than 30' of water.
The aqua-vu is a fun toy and a good tool if you don't expect too much out of it. Don't know anything about the other cameras on the market these days.
