I use my camera to mostly locate brush or other things that I get hung up on:o While dropping down through the water you will think it is not working but once you are on bottom you will start seeing thing. They say you can see around 20' but it's more like 8' I thought I would be able to pull up to brush and see what was using it but you can't, you have to work the camera around the brush or tree tops. I don't use it while fishing now, just for scouting.
