Go Pro HERO HD with flat screen underwater focus fix
Well i have had the go pro for a little while now and love it! Only drama up till last week was the focus under water.
I was advised to get this....

I also picked up this extention tune for filming the fish coming to the side of the boat...

Tryed it out last weekend and all i have to say is WOW!!!!!!
Water clarity wasnt the best around freo (first part of vid below) but in rock it was a little better)
Highly recomend them to fellow fishers/divers!!
Also great for lowing to the bottom on some thick line to see what the bottoms like.
Here is a quick vid from last weekend. Watch the lot. First bits freo and water clarity isnt the best...

I got the GoPro 960p for about $200 delivered, couldn't really justify full HD for almost double the price.

BTW Marc, where did you get your eyeofmine from?

rod extension
If you purchase the handlebar/seat post mount, just use that to mount to a cheap ali extension pole from Bunnings, or even onto a fishing rod !

nah...
See my comment above..
Got a few ideas for using the GP while out fishing... just need to make a few things up and get a free day where the weather is superb..
Was out near Rotto 2 weeks ago and came across a bait ball being smashed by black tip sharks and big tuna.... I so wish I had the GP back then !!!!!
