Title: got a new camera for the season
Post by: slabslayer on December 19, 2012, 03:50:15 PM

Probably nobody cares, but my underwater camera took a crap on me last year, so I picked up a new one last night.  Last season's model with a 7 inch screen black and white off eBay for $65.  Didn't think that was too bad.

What kind of camera did you get?

Stupid me forgot to mention it is an Aqua-Vu.  It has 65 feet of cable and the fish cam is lighted.     Not the top of the line, but for what I use a camera for its perfect.

Sounds like you got a great deal. I really want the lx-9 but it cost to much for me right now. I was looking at getting the micro camera and keeping my lx-5 until I can save up enough to trade it in for the lx-9. Any camera is better then no camera. It definitely helps out when you are marking fish but not sure which species they are and why they are not biting.

That's pretty much all I use mine for.  I can't justify hundreds of dollars for something I use maybe 10% of the time.

I picked up a FishTV last year on eBay for about $60.  It's a lower end unit but it works and its in good condition, so I have no complaints.  I'm just hoping I get to use it this year.  Things are looking up with the forecast next week.
