Ice fishing isn’t an option for the vast majority of anglers across the country, but even so, I think any fisherman will enjoy the 3-minute YouTube video below from Angling Buzz.

The frozen water season provides a unique opportunity for an angler to position an underwater camera — in this video, various models from Aqua-Vu — to see the action in a way that you simply can’t during the open-water period. In winter, the water is clearer than at any other time, and the angler and their lure aren’t moving due to a boat, wind, etc. These factors are ideal conditions to use an Aqua-Vu underwater camera.

Enjoy this montage of underwater footage captured by the Angling Buzz crew during the 2023/2024 ice season. I think some of the fish behavior, especially by larger predator species such as northern pike, will surprise you.
