Perch in Malletts Bay - Testing New Underwater Lens

Took the boys fishing because they really wanted to go...they kept saying we should go to "the crazy perch docks" so I took them there. We ended up getting 9 perch...one other guy there got a pike on a spinnerbait.

We were using live bait.

I was also testing an underwater lens I made for my camera so I created a video of the event.

Wish more Dads did that! We should all remember to take a kid fishing. And it doesn't have to be your own kid.

I've bought an underwater lens for my Gopro, I hope I will be able to make great view like you did

I'm a member of Anglers Legacy and I really take that work seriously so I try to take as many kids fishing as I can during the year. Planning on introducing a bunch to ice fishing this year also. It's secretly my fishing retirement plan because if I don't have enough money to have a boat I'm hoping one of these kids I'm fishing with remembers me when they strike it rich! I'm also apparently a founding member of Lego Legacy and Nerf Gun Wars Legacy as I spend a lot of time doing that also

Ludo...I made this lens for my gopro to fix the underwater blur problem. Seems to be working ok. I haven't tested it at any real depth though. What one did you buy. I looked at all the options and almost bought one but wanted to try this method first. I would love to hear how yours ends up working for you.

I'm really looking forward to sending this camera down to film some pike hits with my ice fishing gear this year!

I'Ve bought and installed oculus R5 from ebay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/250868470234 (they send 2 lenses at this price)

This is a video from youtube, it compares few lenses: Gopro vs 3 underwater Focus fixes and filter test

I expect to try this lens at the shootout.

The new gopro is out now... with cool features, like the adjustment of the wide angle..
