Lower the Camera and View, On the ICE | Aqua-Vu none specification

LOWER THE CAMERA AND VIEW!

Begin your viewing trip by simply lowering the camera to the bottom. (Don't worry! The camera won't break if you bump a rock or suddenly "hit bottom.")

In most waters, fish relate to bottom structure. So, while drifting or slow-trolling, you'll need to guide the camera over the ups and downs of bottom contours. You will quickly learn how to "swim" the camera over bottom terrain. With cable in hand, simply raise or lower the camera, paying out more or less cable depending on depth and boat speed. As you move along, you should see on your monitor screen a continuous picture of the passing bottom and the fish-holding watery zone just above it.

When viewing over soft bottom, make sure the camera is actually above the bottom and not plowing or stirring up the muck. Remember, if you can't see bottom, raise or lower the camera to "look" for it.

If your camera becomes snagged, maneuver the boat so the direction of pull is the same as it was when the camera became snagged. A little jiggling or light tugging will usually enable you to back the camera out of a snag. Avoid pulling the camera through heavy weed cover or thick brush.

With your Aqua-Vu DT, you will be fascinated, and often surprised, by the ever-changing view of underwater scenery: rocks, weeds, other bottom features - and fish! (For more advice and viewing tips see Frequently Asked Questions in this manual.)

ON THE ICE

Your Aqua-Vu DT is an invaluable ice fishing tool which steps beyond mysterious flashes on a depthfinder to actually "see" the real picture. Take advantage of these key benefits:

VIEW BOTTOM STRUCTURE AND DISTINGUISHING FEATURES - Observe weed lines and weed characteristics, sand versus muck, big rocks versus small rocks,transitions from one bottom type to another. What a big help in precisely

locating fishing holes for fish house!

SHARPEN YOUR FISHING TECHNIQUES - Watch your bait and see how approaching fish react to it. Learn what lures, colors, and jigging actions attract fish and trigger strikes. (See the Direct-Tech section of this manual for tips on efficiently positioning the camera to view bait, lure, or particular bottom structure.)

IDENTIFY FISH AS TO SPECIES AND SIZE - Seeing the fish "in person" helps solve mysteries about depthfinder signals and helps with decisions about fishing techniques and whether to stay or leave.

SEARCH OUT NEW FISHING GROUNDS - Move from spot to spot, always boring two holes a few feet apart - one for your camera, the other for your bait. Test-fish for a few minutes in each spot. It's possible to choose or eliminate potential fishing spots on the basis of "seeing" or not seeing fish while

prospecting.
