Underwater Trolling Footage

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Underwater Trolling Footage

Post by JimW »

This past weekend trolling Lake Ontario we ran the Spydro Smart Fishing Camera for awhile, not a lot of action on camera, but here is a short video with a few highlights.

This underwater camera is running off my downrigger rod, the lure is about 5 feet behind the camera, and down 40 feet below the surface in about 45 to 50 feet of water on Lake Ontario.

Very cool...passing through the bait ball really brings those sonar images to life. Thanks for sharing !

The underwater video starts with a school of alewife bait fish, then there is a steelhead (rainbow trout), then a chinook salmon, and then the fish at the end that got caught was a steelhead.
