Thanks to all for advice. Works fine in tub. Maybe I’ve stirred up the bottom and not allowed enough time to let everything settle.
Will drag out again next trip and try to be more patient and hopefully have better visibility.

buckduck I have older aquaview the closer to dark and later in day it gets hard too see especially in deep water. It`s the conditions not the camera. When it was new I went to Black Lake by thousand islands and the water is very dark from minerals. Deep water useless, shallow it was real good. Amazing watching fish taste your bait and spit out and your rod never moved, lol!

Buckduck, it might be the light is angling up toward the camera. Maybe superglue a piece of plastic between the camera and light. It would make the camera in the shade.
If life were easy everybody would have one.

Not a bad pull going out at 7am if you stayed on the trail.  Ice was 7" black ice and an inch of white.   By the end of my day at 2pm there was 3-4" of snow on top with drifts, steady winds and trail was filled in.  Perch bite was on and off.  Kept 20 perch (8"-9") between 2 of us in 18 FOW, on perch eyes.  We were the furthest out at Mayville.  But wished I was the closest after the pull  back in.

Hey All!
 Gonna check one off the bucket list and fish Chautauqua next week. I will be coming west via Salamanca. Where is a great place to pick up bait. Thanks for any and all help.

They were running sleds all day Sat and Sunday out of Mayville right down the center of the lake and out of site.  Mayville ice is 8".

Someone on the reports page said they got a parking ticket at the Vikings Club. You used to be able to park on the end of the parking lot away from the clubhouse. Has this changed or was he in the wrong spot?

Dang, I'm a little farther than that. What's the best option for public access in that neighborhood, or should I just go to Long Point this afternoon?

Yeah right. I can see locals trying to keep crowds of people away but not being willing to throw a fellow fisherman a bone isn’t cool man.

There's public parking at Midway State Park.  Just make sure you park above the arcade.  If you park down by the shoreline you'll get ticketed.

Wow...must be crowded out there.  Never heard of tickets at Vikings before now.  Really unfortunate.

Last I checked you had to be of scandinavian descent and buy into their life insurance which was basically the membership fee. Not sure if that's changed any

Yep my friend parked there today and had one too. I don’t get it. I’ve never had issues years past but guess I’ll park somewhere else now.
