Greetings All:
What a great day it was today out on the Mississippi River ice fishing. My plan was to fish some of my favorite backwaters on Pool-13 near the small town of Sabula, IA., where I knew the ice was good and safe to walk on. After drilling 3 holes in the ice, setting up my shanty and getting the heat going I lowered my Aqua-Vu 760cz underwater camera into one of the holes to check things out. WOW!!! What a great color picture of the area did I see. I was looking at a huge amount of panfish, both bluegill and crappie that were relating to the timber underwater I was planning on fishing. After seeing these fish I quickly got my baits into the holes and watched them on the camera as the fish gained interest. By watching my ice jig on camera I was able to see just what action the fish wanted in the lure and was quickly able to adjust. I'll tell you folks, it did not take long before a nice 13" crappie inhaled my jig and the fight was on. After landing the fish and while taking the hook out, my other rod suddenly jumped as another fish had inhaled the bait. This fast action went on for the better part of three hours as panfish after panfish was caught. One thing for sure, by using the Aqua-Vu underwater camera I was able to actually watch how the fish were reacting to my presentations and adjust accordingly.
After finally calling it a day I kept a few nice fish for the frying pan and started to get ready to leave. While getting my equipment in place for my trip home, I thought to myself how different it would have been if I was fishing blind and did not have the Aqua-Vu 760cz to see the fish with. A lot different I concluded. One thing for sure, I'll always use the Aqua-Vu during my ice fishing adventures to stack the odd's in my favor.
