Mounting a camera to a telescoping pole is the ultimate way to do this, as most anglers already have a push pole aboard-and more and more of us are carrying an Aqua-Vu, as well.”Īmong those other anglers is Gustafson’s pal and fellow Bassmaster Elite Series angler, Cory Johnston. “The deal is, you want to see the size of the bass on each bed, as well as note each fish’s position and activity.

You can definitely do the same thing with the XD Pole Cam mount, which gives you total control. Some of the guys are mounting the HD camera optics to the base of their trolling motor, and watching the underwater landscape on the LCD screen. “But what a lot of guys have figured out is that it’s much easier and much less cumbersome to use an Aqua-Vu camera. “At places like Lake Champlain and other clear smallmouth lakes, a lot of anglers use those “Flogger” devices to see bass on beds in 10 to 12 feet of water,” says the Keewatin, Ontario pro.

On the Bassmaster Elite Series, pro angler Jeff “Gussy” Gustafson notes a similar underwater viewing trend. The pole also lets me examine bass on deeper beds, where I can control the angle and direction of the lens at all times.” “The XD attachment slides right on to the camera and snaps in place, so I can immediately switch between traditional underwater viewing with the XD Trolling Fin and the pole cam. “The pole cam is a really cool device for peeking below boat docks, around bridge pilings or to see beneath matted vegetation,” says DeFoe. Gussy inspects deep structure with his Aqua-Vu HD camera. This past season, he’s also attached the camera optics to the terminal end of his SuperStick push-pole via a special XD Pole Cam accessory, thereby opening a whole new vista of underwater discovery. The results-larger paychecks and bigger bass in the boat- speak for themselves.īassmaster Classic 2019 champion Ott DeFoe trusts an Aqua-Vu HD7i Pro mounted in the bow of boat to confirm bass presence in brushpiles, submerged grass, and other heavy cover. For this season, prominent tournament competitors have deployed an underwater camera in efforts to positively identify their target species, as well as finding those all-important bigger bass. Maybe anglers have been paying attention to Stricker’s advice. “Unlike sonar, the underwater camera leaves no stone unturned, nothing open to interpretation.” “If I was still fishing tournaments today, I’d be using an Aqua-Vu to scout spots in prefishing, no question,” adds Stricker, who has both Bassmaster and FLW tournament wins to his credit. Top tournament anglers call out the rewards of an Aqua-Vu underwater cameraĬrosslake, MN (September 30, 2019) – “For true-to-life underwater study, this is the ultimate fish-finding tool,” says scuba diver and host of Hook ‘N Look TV, Kim Stricker.
