OF THE UNDERWATER CAMERA PRICED AT $700 AND THIS YEAR THEY ARE DOWN TO
$300. THEY ARE GETTING DOWN ALMOST TO THE COST OF A GOOD FISH FINDER.

STEVE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO USE A CAMERA IN A BOAT WOULD MAKE
YOU SEA SICK WATCHING THE SCREEN SHOWING WHAT THE CAMERA WAS SEEING
GOING UP AND DOWN. THIS IS WHAT I USE IF A WANT TO FISH A TROT LINE AND
A PREDETERMINED DEPTH WITH A FIRM LINE. I SIMPLY TAKE A BRICK AND TIE A
LINE AT WHATEVER DEPTH I WANT MY LINE TO STAY OFF THE BOTTOM. THEN I
WILL MATCH THE BRICK UP WITH A PIECE OF STYROFOAM THAT IS SMALL ENOUGH
THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE BRICK TO FLOAT UP. THE BRICK PULLS DOWN AND
THE FLOAT PULLS UP THEREFORE THE LINE IS FIRM AND WITH SHARP HOOKS A
FISH WILL HOOK HIMSELF. THIS SAME THEORY COULD BE USED WITH A CAMERA.
BUT YOU WOULD NOT BE IN CONTROL OF THE WHAT DIRECTION THE CAMERA WOULD
BE POINTING. I WOULD HAVE TO TRY THE PVC POLE BUT THERE SHOULD BE AN
EASY WAY OF USING A BRICK TO PULL DOWN ON THE CAMERA, US THE PVC AS THE
COUNTERWEIGHT PULLING UP. MARK WITH PAINT OR TAPE ON ONE SIDE OF THE
PVC SO YOU COULD TELL WHAT DIRECTION YOU START WITH AND ADJUST FROM
THERE. SOUNDS LIKE I AM GOING TO HAVE A BUSY SUMMER PLAYING IT CAMERA.
THE GOOD OLD LAW OF LIFE-PROBLEM GENERATES A SOLUTION-THE SOLUTION
GENERATES A NEW PROBLEM WHICH CALLS FOR A SOLUTION AND SO ON - DON"T
KNOW WHAT KIND OF FISH THE LOCATER IS SEEING-SOLUTION GET A CAMERA-NEW
PROBLEM CAMERA GOES UP AND DOWN WITH EVERY WAVE-WEIGHT AND COUNTER WILL
STOP THE CAMERA FROM BOBBING BUT WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT DIRECTION YOU
ARE LOOKING. THAT'S LIFE, BUT AIN'T IT FUN!
