Exactly right Money Shot. Just attach one end of the wire to your main line and the other end to your leader. I started off with a short lead to make sure I could see the strike, but after seeing the footage I'm confident I could see beyond 8 foot. The fun part about this camera is going home at the end of the day and fast forwarding through 5 hours of footage to see what was following and never hit. Like I mentioned there were at least 15 on Sunday and that was only one rod. Is it too much to assume there may have been 60+ fish following and not hitting on all four rods. Crazy to think that may be the case. Frogger, that spoon Bloody Death is made by Dream Weaver and is my go-to spoon for Lakers. I have 4 that should probably be replaced as the Lakers have chomped most of the paint and stickers off of them. Here is a pic... Bloody Death.bmp

I'm on it Gill-T. I fish that area quite a bit and was wondering the same. As soon as I get some footage I'll post it.

You can't beat cottage country huh Chas? Absolute heaven up there. We've been making Nipissing a yearly thing recently. Looking forward to fishing for eyes up there end of June! Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

"When Lake Trout Scream" I like it Gill T. You're my new producer. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

How do you know about that lake? Do you get up there in that area at all? Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeah, in Novar. We have had a cottage on that lake since 1949. My grandparents built and we've had it ever since. We scuba dive there every year feeding the bass clams. Pretty cool how they act like you're one of them when you're down there with them. Wonder if trout and salmon would be the same? Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I threw the spoon back 6 feet from the camera. Next time out it's going on a Spinny with an 8 foot lead to see what the quality of the footage is on a dipsy.

Oh no doubt. If a Laker hit looks that viscous can't wait to see what a King does. Went out yesterday and what a difference a week makes in lure preference (daily or hourly too I know). There must have been 15-20 Lakers that came up quickly and did a quick U turn inches from the spoon. They just didn't like that color yesterday. One wasn't so lucky and ended up getting his anal fin caught in the U turn. I swore I had my first King of the year as he stripped off ~500 feet of line and we had to turn and chase him. Completely disappointed when I saw him come to the surface fin caught. Best Laker I ever fought though LOL. I'll keep posting more videos throughout the season...

I decided to break out the new Water Wolf camera last weekend knowing that the Laker action was on and that there would be a few willing participants to video. Headed out of Wilson at 7am to 70 FOW and was immediately into the action. Spinny/flies did most of the damage down 40' and Bloody Death spoons did the rest on the bottom. Headed back in at 11am and finished 25 for 27 with plenty of camera footage to go home and review. I'll include the link below, but if that doesn't work go directly to Youtube and search Laker 4/16/16. When I uploaded the video to Youtube I was a pretty disappointed in the reduction of quality, but that was the only way I could figure out how to share the 165 MB file. When uploaded to Youtube the green is much darker and the overall image is not as clear. The quality of the original footage is pretty incredible in the depth of water I was fishing. In 80 FOW (the deepest that day) I could easily see the ripples in the sand on the bottom as well as what the species of fish that were following or hitting. The attached pic is the one on video.

Thanks guys ! !

Great ideas gentleman! My interest has swayed toward this type of fishing and my hopes are that by next season or the next I have a boat better suited for this type of fishing. What I have is getting me by but I'm getting tired of being blown off the lake by average waves and not being able to set up my boat exactly the way I'd like. I'll have to figure out somewhere to put it. I can't have you guys say "I told you so". Thanks again ! !

Hey guys, I'd like to hear your thoughts on having a second battery for running two Cannon Mag 5's. I certainly understand it's best practice but hear me out. I have what you might say is a non conventional fishing boat. It's a Sea Ray open bow run about and I have looked in every nook and cranny for a good spot for a second battery. There simply isn't one. I just bought 2 Mag 5's and I'm wondering how much of an issue it's going to be to run them on my only battery. My thoughts are that I'm trolling and the engine should be charging the battery but I'm not sure if the riggers will be over the top for what my boat puts out for amperage. Anyone hear any horror stories running this configuration?
