Can you use a Vex & Camera together.

I was at the Ice Show on Saturday and I was talking to a guy (Can't remember which booth) that said you can't use a camera and vex at the same time. Does that mean not in the same hole or not in the same house. Thought I could use my vex in my hole and the cam in my buddies. Is this not doable?

Bahloney!!!! I use a Flasher and a Camera in the same hole all the time! It can get a tad bit crowded at times... but there is no legal reason that you cant!

Yep, Deitz is right on here. Nothing illegal about it, and the only reason you wouldn't is to avoid clutter.

It wasn't anything with the legality with it, it was that the frequency would conflict. He just said way would you use both, you should use one or the other. I always thought the vex was a tool and the cam is more for fun. I just got the cam for a good price and wanted to take a look at what was going on down there. It was a guy selling the vines you wrap around your cameral cable.

I have used both many times. I will have the LX5 down to show fish at all depths and also use the camera to look at structure or look at the fish to see what specie they are. I also use my camera for fun and as a very useful tool. One can look at the structure and find weed lines and also tell the specie of fish that is below.

I would say you might have some of the Structure on String show up but I have never had a big problem with that. Sometimes I will put 6 SOS down along with the camera cable weeds and also Have a line down and my Marcum. It will work, but the holes can get a little full.

I set the LX-5 in my hole, the camera about 15 ft in another hole, and run the cable to my Pro and watch the oncoming fish from within the shelter on the viewer. nice set up that way.

I usually drill 3 holes roughly in the shape of a triangle. The 2 side by side holes are the ones I fish in the portable and the 3rd hole is 5 to 7 feet away. I put the camera down that one. I've never had a problem. Sounds like someone was giving you a load of talk or had no clue. (either way he's wrong)

Thanks for the info guys. I thought you could use both. I like the idea of having a hole for the camera a bit away so you can see the fish comin'.
