First run of my new underwater camera...ran a parallel test to see how fish might react to different flint forms..

Blue Cat approaches for a look at a Castroville



just wide angle overall, Bass exiting....>



Merrill "Skyshot" ( camera laid on bottom on self timer mode ) To see flint, tip your monitor slightly,,look close



Montell ( note Bass leaving the scene ! they dont like broken tip )



Frio



Same Frio but this is the first time I tried the zoom feature ( telephoto )..
works good ( compare with above pic, the Bass just 'grew' 5 inches longer ! )



Tried a double lure,



WOW...I "found" 2 arrowheads on the river bottom



South view



Change location to the old flint washing area at mile 19 bridge..
Not IN the water...it was so shallow & clear, just dropped some bread crumbs in and let the top feeders see some flint





I didn't mention it til now but I found a big blade too...didn't want to take away from Mickey's blade finds.

That camera takes better pic's then the old one. Hope it last longer.

Even though they are advertised as being Kid & nuclear bomb proof, I think the talcum powder digging dust found it's way onto the sealing gasket as the door is opened a lot.. LESS than a pinhole sized failure destroys the watertight integrity..

General purpose no problem as this bee found out when I kicked him out







I interupted morning breakfast for some of the locals..



I WILLNOT be needing the waterproof feature at THIS year's DF
