It could be a GoPro, however the way you view what the camera is viewing is thru wifi, and it doesn't work underwater (one of my few frustrations with my GoPro). If he was viewing it live, which I doubt, he might have been using one of those Ice fishing cameras which do stream live.

I've put my GoPro under water several times with no worries. as long as you secure it, you shouldn't have to worry. Its how you get really good video.
heres a link to one of them. If you look at my channel, you will find another one thats not so daring but still got some good video of a Rock Bass protecting it's nest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdLX5H3-MFw

Well, giving it another try in the morning. Will be trying to locate the suspended fish, and going to drop Kentucky rigged minnows and jigs on them, and jig a spoon. See what gets the most attention. Wish us luck

Good Luck Jason! Let us know how you do.

Thanks, will do!

Not too good! Stayed mostly out in the main channel, and fished the points and hilltops, hit one sheltered cove. Like the other night, there were huge clouds of bait balls showing up on the strikefire and down imaging, everywhere with fish all around them. Tried Kentucky rigged minnows and jigs, and a small spoon. Was dropping right in the action. Caught one big perch, but ended up using it as cut bait and drifted for some blues. Good ol' blues always there for you. Talked to some other guys, and they had no luck either. I'm thinking that with all those bait balls, they ain't wanting what I'm selling

Sorry to hear they were not biting but it had to be great just to be on the water. You will get them next time. Thanks for the report.

It was great. Monticello is a good ride for me, but such a beautiful lake to waste a day on

Thanks for the report Jason.

Hate they wont co-operate with ya. But keep tryin. Now a dumb question. What is a Kentucky Rig? I am old and slow so be nice.
