Title: Underwater Go Pro Halibut Footage.
Post by: gstours on April 18, 2022, 03:20:15 PM
Here,s something that might interest you if youve got a few minuits.   As ive always wondered what is going on down there when fishing on the bottom.    Fast forward to the last half of the clip and this is the vidieo clip near the end.   Thanks. :)

I love these fish reaction videos!  Quite a bit to learn there.

But the most important lesson is not to video a stranger while they are eating.  They might not take kindly to the intrusion.

So, are you going to cast up a gopro jig? ;D

We used 3 of them at one time. One underwater with a stabilizing fin. One on the Hardtop and one on a stick for boat side filming. I ended up selling them after a few months.

Thanks,  I've only put a camera on a stick,  and always wanted to get some footage of the bottom habitat,  etc. seems like I don't want it bad enough.
  Anybody got some proven ideas about rigging for a bait rig?   Just wondering? :cf

Gary, Thanks for posting this video, it's great to see what the fish are doing (or not doing) with our offerings of bait and lures. Captain Zac does a pretty good job with his filming. I have never sent a camera out on the end of my line, so I'm no help in that regard. Rich

i agree, yet disagree respectfully,   >:D     Many a good fish has been hooked when you back is turned!
  While skill is what we strive for, sometimes its just luck.   
i do enjoy watching whats going onn down there.  Maybe I can get some footage of someting interesting this year if I can?    :al     Learning is good for fishing.
