I prefer a camera for the type of fishing I do. Most of my fishing is in 15 feet or less. For pike it’s great to see where you are in relation to weeds. For pan fish its nice to see the jig in their mouth when you set the hook and they are not just sucking on your wax worm. It’s nice to pull the bait away from the smaller fish, saves on bait and time. I have yet to see a fish that is spooked of a camera, if anything it draws them in out of curitosity. You also can see the mood of the fish and change how you fish. A flasher can tell you there are fish on a rock bar for example but you don’t know what type of fish they are it could be suckers or shad instead of walleye and you just wasted hours fishing it because you flasher showed there were fish there. Each has it’s place but for me it’s a camera. Plus there fun to watch…………
