FishTv™ Plus Underwater Viewing Systems

If you spend the time to scroll through this issue has been knocked around about 15 times in the past week alone. I've been looking to buy and have the bucks but the trend seems to be that they don't hold up and many are duds right out of the box - at least that's what I've concluded after watching this forum for about 2 weeks trying to decide what to get.

There is a sponsor on here that sells the stuff and he wrote a while back that he was encountering so many problems that he quit selling the low end stuff cause he didn't want the bad customer relations.

I have a friend that bought one, he brought it home and found one knob pushed all the way into the tv, brought it back got a different one, it works great, even has a better picture then my higher dollar big name brand one!

I spent some time in a research capacity years ago with underwater cameras. I will tell you dont waste your money on a color camera for Minnesota, if anyone even has one anymore- color cams are lower resolution than black and white, considerably poorer picture.

Also, the lights are a needless "toy". Mostly they just bounce off any floating plankton or algae, and make the scene harder to see. The concept of the "lights" was "borrowed" from a salt water camera the size of a coffee can that looks like the first Aqua Vu. I will tell you the salt water version came FIRST, on the west coast. The lights and a color version have a place in salt water viewing, but are not really needed in our lakes up here.

Try to spend more than 99$ on your cam.

But you dont need to drop 400 bucks either. Lots of used ones out there, just check em out first.

Actually, the best Aqua Vu's were the Z series of camera, the one before the "fish", (I like the rubber armoured cam).

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
