Underwater footage

I just made one similar to this out of PVC pipe with a downrigger clip on the front and back. Whole thing from clip to clip is about 18". Try and make it as short as possible. Only thing with the Gopro setup is once the fish hits the camera is useless.

If your going to buy one of the amazon ones, make sure it has wifi as its a pretty useful tool. I have the sj4000 which shoots 1080p, has wifi and all the mounts.

So this one I was fishing by myself. The Coho hit the bait and after figuring out he was hooked, it swam up at towards the down rigger cable so that there was no pulling of the hook. I had him following me around for a long time....

Agian most the movies I am showing are of fails were I had to learn a lesson. (Which I did)

Keep em coming mate. Fish ****!

 

[ILHG]

Not sure if this was a spring or not?

 

[ILHG]

This is why it sucks to fish by yourself. This is imbarasing...

Looks like a Spring to me.

But either way, he said "nah....I'm good"

Some glamor shots

Very interesting. It's unreal the amount of noise that swivel makes, how visible the line is and that knot left long like that. You can be garunteed if we can hear it in the video can you imagine how loud it is to the fish and how visible the line is. It's always in the details.

Awesome clips.

I agree 100%! That's why going forward I have switch to Florocarbon. It makes an amazing difference. As for the swivels, I am going to experiment & see if I can find a quiter one

I think it shows that trolling in a strait line is no good. The bait needs some type of quick change to trigger a strike

 

[ILHG]

Lingcod are so aggressive

 

[ZENYO]

Very cool stuff! I want one!

Another cool idea for this would be to take notes of when your finder is marking fish/bait (Especialy when you think it's right around your bait) and see where that relates to the videos...

You guys are overthinking this too much, feeding salmon aren't leader or swivel shy.

This ^^^^^^^

I agree but a quality ball bearing swivel would translate to better action on the bait/lure.

Couple of weeks ago I could have dragged a brick around on a rope and got a bite. Don't you love when they're hungry

I Love Haida Gwaii, the swivel noise is interesting, and I would you request you give us a photo of the swivel so we can see what the noise maker looks like. I am always intrigued at how salmon come take a close look and most often, turn away because of smell, action, or other, but.... never had it thought about line or swivel noise.

thank you for posting. DAJ
