Underwater camera for fishing

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

As an avid fisherman, I would love to see an underwater fishing camera.  Even something that I can tie on to the end of a fishing line and cast out would be fun.  I'd really like to see what's going on down there. 

 

I thought about using a cheap (under $20) underwater flashlight as a housing.  A micro SD would be good for data storage.  I wouldn't mind having to unscrew the flashlight to turn the camera on. 

 

I took apart a cellphone that I have too look at the camera.  Its small, but I have no idea where to go from there.  I can build things like this with instructions, but I don't know enough to do it on my own. 

 

I would assume that the best, or easiest, route would be to simply buy a small video camera and go from there.  I am open to suggestions. 

 

Thank you.
