I just got an aqua-vu and it is sweet. Does anyone know of any tips or tricks to make finding and viewing fish easier. right now I just put it down in a hole next to the one with my bait in it. I was wondering about pointing it straigh down to find suspending fish?

Check out Ice Teams web site Dave Genz did some work with down viewing, and come up with a way to hold camera while down viewing.
good luck

In the tail section there is a hole drilled. Take the string or tie and tie the cable to the tail so the camera is facing down.

December 27, 2005 at 1:11 am #406748The aquaviews are great tools and a whole lot of fun to use I have had the best luck side viewing. I have used it looking down but depending on what kind of bottom you have its hard to make the fish out . But it works to find bottom composition. I have no problems with my fish camera spooking anything either . As a matter of fact I have had tons of fish bump the camera or try to eat it I have been on the backwaters and used it with great results to but most of the time I use it on inland lakes. Have fun with it I hope it helps your fishing like it has for me.
