How do u view an Aqua-Vu? Side View or Top View

So what us your preference? do you use you camera at a side view OR from above?

In the past I have been a strictly side view kinda guy, but after watching one from above I think I will have to give it try this season, looks interesting, may be harder to see the fishtake the bait but an overall larger view

I have always used it from the side.  I tried from above once and i didn't get the same thrill.  From the side you can see if your high or low and see how they are missing the jig.  Gives a better image too.

Like Tucker, I use mine from the side. I have tried it looking down as my son seems to prefer that view. I find that when looking down I have a much harder time seeing fish. I usually use it for perch fishing and the perch are slim enough that I can't pick them up nearly as easy as from the side view.

Side view when I'm in search mode.  Honestly, this is where the camera is more of a tool than a toy.  Really gives you the "lay of the land" better than a flasher.  For anyone looking at buying a camera, I'd definately reccomend something with an on screen camera direction indicator. 

Down view when actually fishing.  No way I'm wasting time drilling an extra hole and trying to line up a camera.  Wouldn't recomend the down view for anything other than panfish though.  I've had a few nasty tangles just with gills.  Can't imagine the mess a big eye or pike would make with that camera dangling down there.

I will agree with kc17,
  I really only use the camera for a search tool. When I'm fishing I like the down view , but only really use it when the fish look but don't bite. I will drop the camera to see how they are acting around my jig.

Last season, I view mostly from inside the carrying case since it rarely sees the light of day, or should I say the dark of water...I watch my flasher these days.
