Fish camera
« on: Feb 18, 2016, 08:33 AM »
I have a flasher, it's great for showing depth and if any fish are around. How about a camera? Are they really any good in cloudy water under ice? Is there must have features, or one make above the others? I know they won't make fish bite but curious what's down there. They are expensive, so would sooner pay more once if needed than buy over and over. Thanks for your  input!

I have a flasher and just bought a camera. Got the entry level Aquavu. It's been great to see what the bottom looks like as well as fish behaviour.  Water clarity for any camera determines what a guy can or cannot see.  All depends on what features you want in terms of price.  Have been fishing with my buddy's for years on the old 3.5 inch screen. The new ones are all seven or bigger.  Plus most are colour.  I'm happy with mine.
Get outside.  It does a body and mind good!

I have both, and to tell you the truth, I use my flasher a lot more, especially if I am on the move. To much of a pain to drop the camera and set it up at each hole. If I have the kids along the camera does keep them entertained if the perch move in.

I have both sonar and Aqua vu 760cz all options depth, temp, direction, zoom. Like it but it was not cheap. And it messed up after I bought it last year and delt with Aqua view for warranty. Good to deal with incAse u need to. Sent me a new updated version of what I had and gave me extended warranty from a year to 3 years jus to keep me happy.
