How to find your fishing spots with your Aqua-Vu On June 02, 2017

I use sonar to find fish every time I go out but sometimes the fish can hide. Two good examples are boulders and steep drop-offs. The sonar beam is reflected off the bottom on steep drops and off the boulders and the fish can’t be separated.

I drove over this drop-off that had boulders and didn’t see any fish with either the Humminbird or the Lowrance.

I stopped on the edge and used the Spot Lock feature of my Minn Kota trolling motor on the edge and dropped my Aqua-Vu camera down and found these crappies but not just here but each time I moved along the edge there were more crappie.

Even the down imaging couldn’t separate the crappies from the boulders while I was sitting over them.

Notice the crappies are very close to the boulders in the video.

 

They did bite and they posed for the camera before being released (I had fresh walleye back home).
