Obviously depends on the water clarity but as a general rule setting the camera about 3 feet away will typically give you a good view of your jig. If real clear water you can move it back a fair distance and still get a good view as well as see more of the surrounding area for roaming fish so you can react accordingly with jigging. It seems every lake is a little different but other factors like time of day (how high is the sun), clear sky versus overcast, amount of snow cover on the ice, thickness of ice, etc. are all factors that come into play.
