Troll as you normally would, note that when trolling at higher speeds (over 9 miles/hour) you will
want to add weight to the casting line ahead of the camera as shown in Figure BB to make sure
that the camera does not rise at higher speeds. Depending on the lure you are using and the
speed you plan to troll at you will need a heavier weight.
Using this unit for bottom fishing
When fishing in the bottom fishing style, you will want to attach your camera to the fishing line
in-between a casting line and your leader line
.
We recommend using a leader line that is less
weight capacity than your casting line to raise the odds that if your lure gets snagged or a fish
takes it, your camera has the best chance of staying on the line while the leader line would snap
and you would lose the lure only. This is not a guarantee, but it is a recommended method.
Bottom Fish as you normally would. If you usually bottom fish as shown in Figure CC, you will
want to connect the weight ahead of the camera. If you usually bottom fish as shown in Figure
DD
, you will want to connect the weight after the bait or lure.
Note that when bottom fishing at depths past 30 meters it is recommended to use the night
vision mode. When bottom fishing we recommend sinking your gear at a slow sink rate. Sinking
at a fast rate might force the camera to hit an item on the bottom of the fishing area that may
contain rocks or hard surfaces and could cause a crack in the unit’s housing. Therefore slow
sink speed is recommended.
Using this unit for float fishing - with the GoFish Cam live-
stream float accessory
This accessory is to be used for float fishing. Instead of using a float, you can attach this accessory to
your unit and use it as your float instead. This accessory will also allow you to live-stream footage (up to
75 feet) directly to the mobile app from the camera giving you a bird’s eye view of your bait or lure. As
shown in figure EE.
You Attach the GoFish Cam Live-Stream Float Accessory to the camera by sliding the camera into the
accessory. Make sure that the GoFish Cam Logo on the accessory is facing the rear cap of the camera.
Make sure you slide the accessory onto the camera from the lens side as seen in Figure FF. Make sure
the unit is attached to your fishing line before attempting to use the float
Do not open the unit when the accessory is attached. Remove accessory, dry the surface
of the unit, before opening either end of the unit.
