Underwater Ice Fishing Cameras And You.    by Justin Lock

An ice fishing camera can be an awesome tool if you know what it is all about. This particular camera is attached by a cable to a monitor and is used primarily by ice anglers to see what their terrain is all about and whether any fish are interested in what they have to offer in terms of bait and lures.

To properly use the ice fishing camera you are going to have to cut a hole in the ice about two feet away from your primary ice fishing hole. This is to just look at the bait that you have lowered into the water and see if any fish are interested in it. If not, then just swap it out to some thing that the fish will consider more delicious.

You could also use the ice fishing camera to get a good look at the terrain that you are going to be moving your ice fishing shack over. This will save you countless hours moving your hut from one location to another in the hopes of finding that sweet spot that the fish are biting. Just wander out without your hut and poke holes to drop the camera into. What you are going to be looking for is an area that is rocky or weedy that the fish love to hide in. This is because fish know that they are just food and will hide anywhere that they can. This rule does not appy to some fish like muskies, they are just a mean predator and will be most likley out hunting most of the time.

Ice fishing cameras are relatively cheap, considering how much they can improve your trip and yeild. For example, if you are catching an extra dozen or so fish and getting constant bites then the two hundred to six hundred dollars that you spend of this piece of kit will be well worth it.

There are even ice fishing cameras that the camera looks like a little fish and will blend right into their enviroment. Most of these products are specifically designed to whistand the cold temperatures and the water that will destroy most cameras.

If you are worried about murky or cloudy water then there is no real need to worry about it. This is because you can simply buy cameras that have on board lights on them. That just really takes care of the darkness that is always present under the ice. What you really want to invest in is an underwater camera that has infra red to see the fishes heat signature or ultraviolet to see in really low lighting enviroments.

Whatever camera you choose, just make sure that you are not investing in an inferior product. You are going to want to purchase something that is not going to fail in the temperatures that you are happy to survive in. There are underwater cameras that have kevlar cables to ensure that your actual camera assembly never gets lost and some more cameras that even have colour monitors.

Some ice fishermen are concerned about actually recording the strike on video. This might be a by product of the youtube generation, but I still have to admit that this is an awesome feature. Somer cameras dont actually have a record feature but most will have video out plugs so you can attach a recording device. If this is something that interests you and your disbelieving buddies then you are going to want to consider it when purchasing your next or first ice fishing camera.

Now that you are knowledgeable about what the ice fishing camera is for, then you are just going to have have to go out and buy one for yourself. If there is not a local store in your immediate area that has this particular device for sale then I sugggest that you check one of the many reputable online retailers that have these for offer. Good luck out on the ice and have fun. If you are not having fun, then at least catch a massive ammount of cold fish with your new underwater ice fishing camera.
