I have set my tipups about 2-3 feet off the bottom unless it's real shallow (under 6 ft.). This guarantees that you are just above the weedbed. I have found over the years that Bass seem to attack your bait from the weedcover and then speed right back. This is why you sometimes pull up a lot of weeds. If you go too low you run the risk of hiding your bait or getting it tangled up in the weeds and you'll never get a flag. I have consistently "outfished" everyone around me and I'm not trying to brag, it's just that you learn from experience.One key thing to look for is dropoff points. If you find a change in depth of 1ft. or more between holes then chances are you are in a good spot. I picked up an Aqua-Vu underwater camera a couple of years ago and while it is fun to use, it is priceless for confirming what you suspect about certain fishing spots. A lot of places I just knew were good spots, revealed the reason when I dropped the camera down. If you are serious about ice fishing, this camera is a valuable tool.
how is the aqua view? i was thinking about getting one a couple years ago but i didn't. does the picture come in clear and is it easy to use?
