I got to try out my underwater camera today in my kayak. I was very pleased. I could see the fish very well. Amongst the standing trees I was dropping the camera and quickly located the crappie. They were pretty active and were at about four feet deep.
The camera itself is shaped like a fish so some would come close and inspect it while others ignored it. It didn't seem to spook them either since I could locate precisely were they were and drop my line down and catch them. It also helped me know where the snags were.
The only bad thing about where I was today is that there are hundreds of standing trees. So no one spot has a huge population. They stopped biting around 11 and I presume they scattered to deeper water. The next test will be a smaller lake or creek above a reservoir.
