15 Bass Lurking in the Local Pond | GoFish Cam Confirmed
Here is the follow-up video showing the underwater footage taken with the GoFish Cam. We used the Micro Fly Rod to catch live bait, then baited the camera rig, and struck out… had multiple strikes including one that broke the line.
Compared the picture of the Bass caught last week that went 20″; would say it would have gone the same size, too! Counted fifteen bass in the video; do check our count and let us know if we miscounted!

Drainage Canal Fishing | GoFish Cam Underwater Video
Scouting the drainage canal with the @GoFishCam where I went fishing the other day. New there were fish but now have a better idea of what is lurking below.
Did not see the nice bass in the culvert from the other day, but did see one that would have been fun to catch on the micro fly rod. Also, got some footage of the fish lurking in the pond, too.
Did bot catch anything; it was cold but was able to stay out long enough to drain the camera battery down!

More Underwater Fishing Video.... #underwatervideo
Been trying various cameras and rigs or underwater fishing videos like we did when we had the Water Wolf Camera. Ended up losing it last year, so have made several rigs for an old GoPro Hero.
So far, able to observe fish and their reaction to treated and untreated Scud patterns as part of our test of the Gulp Garlic Marinade. Plan to continue “testing” as our results are inconclusive.
Did get the itch to try capturing a live bait strike with a Bluegill… no luck this round, but did find old video from the Water Wolf Camera as a consolation.
That said, since no Water Wolf Cameras are in stock, and learned GoFish – with a wireless feature, has cameras in stock. Placed an order!
Do check back, plan to do more “testing” of the Gulp Marinade and live bait action shots!

Do Fish Like Gulp Marinade #underwatervideo #fishing
Been wanting to try Gulp Marinade as a teaser scent to our lures. But, not certain if fish would like it. It has a garlic scent similar to the Berkley Power Bait we like to use when trout fishing.
Decided to test the Gulp Marinade by applying it to a fishing fly and observe how fish react to it compared to the same fishing fly but without the scent applied. Rigged two scuds to the underwater video rig we put together for filming underwater action shots of fish.
Key take aways this round:
- Results were inconclusive given only one test. But, it does look promising. Do need to continue testing before we make a suggestion.
- It does appear that fish like the Gulp Marinade, tending to prefer the scud with scent over the scud without scent after the initial application.
- Once the scent washed out, it was not certain if there was a preference for one over the other.
- Do need to re-apply the scent as it does wash out.
- Bait still is preferred over artificials.
Next round, plan to:
- Use a smaller hook as the fish in the test pond tended to be small for the hook used. Often times a fish would be hooked but then would be able to break free after a short struggle.
- May try live bait to mix things up as well.
Also, do note a catfish “smells” the scented scud at one point, and watch how a fish would be hooked and then free itself, and immediately after another fish would strike… may explain how we will get a bite but miss the hookset, but soon after feel another tug on the line!
Do stay tuned for more, plan to do another “test” in the near future!
