I just saw these at Canadian Tire, does anyone know if they're any good? I take my kids out quite a bit when the weather is good and I think they'd like to see it from down under...not sure of the quality of the footage though.

You egt what you pay for, I bought a cheap fish tv and was ver dispointed, could not see anything down there was simply too dark, if the water is very clear then you might be lucky! I'd save my money for something good!

Go with a Marcum. I did a lot of homework before purchasing one and stuck with a Marcum.

I have a fish tv and love it. I've used mine in 20' of water on a cloudy day and could still see about 10'. Marcum is cream of the crop but if you just want something to keep the kids entertained the fish tv is a good choice.

Hope this helps,

Mobb.

I have one and use it to find structure. It's a cool toy and will help keep the kids busy if the fishing is slow

My buddy has the aqua view and it is a great tool and you can see really good in deep water.We use it to locate perch on simcoe and weed lines in sugog.

It's great for shallow water, it will work in the deep but really fun to drop it in perch or crappy infested water.

I'm with Mobb, I've seen his in action and it's held up for what 3 years so far??

-I have the marcum and I really can't see the difference in picture quality - they're all a little rough once the sun goes down

Thanks for the info guys, I looked up those Marcum camera's. The one I saw was $750 and for that price I'd rather go buy a bunch of Musky lures instead haha. I'll be getting the Fish Tv one, and give it a try!

Me and my buddy have the aqua view 7in. screen works great. When we use it for perching we call it selective harvesting.lol
