Aquaview Scout ?'s

[catmaster1557]

I got to test out my new aquaview scout, and so far I am impressed. I do however have a couple questions. What is the best method for finding your jig? Do you just monkey with the cord until you see it or what? Also How do you keep the camera where you want it to sit in the water? Hope that made sense and thanks in advanced for any tips.

Buy the tripod thing that comes with a little knob for adjusting and stabilizing the camera. They are easy to find and cost between $10 and $15. Just be carefull not to drop the adjustment knob down a hole like I did.

i have a scout and had the same problem you need to get get used to it and how to turn the camera until you find your bait then you will know which was you turned it, also buy the tripod as mentioned i got one at sportmanswarehouse for 15 buck and is well worth it it hold the camera in position and you can fine tune it to your liking happy viewing

I have the Scout, and the tripod is the ticket. I attached my stopper to the cord with a small eyebolt screwed in the top of the stopper. I attached it to the cord with a zip tie. It works great. I did buy three stoppers when I ordered them.

kslipsinker, good idea with the small eyebolt deal. I will have to try that. Sometimes cold-clumbsy fingers will fail you.

Last year I went into a Gander to get the tripod, but they were out. The guy said not to bother with the tripod. Just take a short 2 X 4 and cut a narrow slot in it from the side. Using a spring clamp, I pinch the cable at the depth I want the camera to hang at. Dirt cheap and very durable setup. As far as finding your bait, set the depth of the camera using a flasher, get your bait down, and spin the camera until you see the bait. You can either spin the clamp, or the whole board.

Every place was out of them when I wanted to buy one so I just made one out of a 2x4 too. I just screwed one of those black paper binders to the side and can just clip the line into it to hold it. Basically free. I just use the vex to get the right depth and then spin it to find the jig. Good luck
