Default Using a camera at spray lakes

I’m going to try Spray Lakes on Saturday for the first time. Does anyone use an underwater camera there? I’m going to give it a try. Hopefully I have enough cable and the visibility is good.

Check Youtube -- pretty sure I recall a few videos posted there of people with cameras at Spray in the past.

I run out of video cable before I reach the depth I am fishing lake trout. Would be good for whitefish in the shollows.

I used my old camera up to 50 feet of depth. Spray Lake water is clear enough at these depth to see fish far enough. Also, used it in shalow to find whitefish.

Default Camera worked great

First time fishing Spray today. We fished in about 65 feet of water. Perfect visibility up to around 6'. Seen quite a few trout on the camera. Most were very finicky and just just looked at the bait and swam off. We did manage to hook and land 5 Lakers in the 10"-13" range. What an awesome day.
