ahvatsa - Our pond has clear water in the winter when the ice is 12� thick or more and then again when the surface water temp hits 70-75 degrees in the summer. Both clear water periods are short lived. The rest of the time it is stained or darker.
I am no expert on the underwater video recording deal, though I have learned 3 important things:
1. You need fairly clear water to see anything of value.
2. If you want underwater video of fish you need to be stationary. When the camera is moving toward them with the trolling motor, they scatter.
3. You need some level of patience to watch all the worthless stuff you have recorded to harvest the good stuff.
Very

though!
