Am looking at investing in a camera system for recording baits while trolling. Thoughts on what the best route to go?

If you are looking for high definition the Aqua-Vu with the trolling fin will get the best results.

No knowledge to share, but would you please post videos when you start doing it? Would love to see how muskies react to a trolled bait, how they hit it, etc.

Another option is water wolf underwater camera. I wanted to do this but think you need really clear water for it to work. Check out master crow youtube channel.

The water wolf was a really good camera but hard to find. I think they went out of business. Water wolf was only 720 resolution but had a 4 hour battery.
I've been using the GoFishCam now. It only has about 90 minutes max battery life at the lowest resolution. It has wifi to review any footage after you bring it up. I've never used the wifi though. I prefer to plug the micro SD card into my phone and review footage while the camera recharges.

I mounted an Aqua-Vu HD71 G2 on my console powered off the boat 12V. I use it to scout new water, look over structure and identify fish I see on the Humminbird.

We also use a Micro 5 Revolution Pro quite a bit, pocket sized and convenient.

i like the aqua view setup, i dont think the trolling fin works with the micro but i wish it did.

how to you handle cord management when deployed out longer distances?
