Go pro on a downrigger


Recommended Posts

There's a waterproof case for under $40 that's supposed to be good down to 200ft. Also, a torpedo mount that can be made with PVC 2" and 3" fittings. I've looked at some saltwater footage on YouTube but it's shallow, just wondering if anyone's done it deeper and interested at what depths you run2015143308_trollpro.png.5b1dcb76061fb65c91197c3bc76755b4.png out of light.

I use mine with a similar torpedo housing down past 100' on Lake Michigan. Not sure if you have enough light to go that deep on Lake O. I also have extra torpedo housings if anyones interested.

The WaterWolf is an inline camera that you can clip onto your fishing line. It's really the way to go if you just want to watch fish strikes. The GoPro on a rigger is better for watching more than one line or filming structure, but when a fish strikes sometimes it's just a silver blur and they're gone. It's actually more fun watching the fish that swing and miss as they usually stay in the field of view and try again.
