Thanks catscratch for putting up the thread idea we had been discussing.
For our pond experts that are going to reply, can you also include the Aquavu type underwater cameras to the discussion if you think there is a chance that would be more beneficial to catscratch?
I think seeing the species, size of the fish, and their orientation to cover would be very revealing in our ponds and small lakes. However, there must also be limitations to those systems?
[catscratch, if you do NOT want this discussion in your electronics thread, send me a PM and I will delete it. If you do want added discussions of those systems, what is your average secchi disk reading, or what is your expected reading when you might be trying to visually evaluate your underwater conditions? I think that is critical info for the ability to use the camera systems.]
