what is really going on down there in the deep water . . .

Hey Guys,

Saw this clip yesterday, a mate showed it to me. I dont know if its been posted on the site before.

Its an 8 minute clip prepared by Dept of Fisheries using "baited" cameras and a blue light to see just what is down in that deep, deep water. Starts off at 100m and goes down to 500m. I was amazed by how barren it looked down there. I dont know what I expected but it wasn't this.

Its pretty cool - not too surprised how barren it is, you don't see much on the sounder out there. Shows you how little bottom you need to get fish though!
