Sports Cams For Fishing
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 11:35 am
Last spring I purchased an inexpensive sports cam from EBay to record some of my bass fishing trips. I know, to most people seeing videos of me catching fish ranks right up there with seeing someone elses family vacation videos. But I kind of get a kick out of watching them during the winter months, being just another tool in fighting fishing withdrawal.
On two AAA batteries it has about 45 minutes of recording time, though I usually change the batteries at around 30 minutes. When I get home I can edit and cut out those periods of catching nothing using a free download from Windows called Windows Movie Maker. Being mounted on the bill of my ball cap, I sometimes just reach up and turn it on when I first get bit. Like most video cameras, mine picks up the rumble of wind very easily. I fixed that problem by simply slipping a rubber band up over the speaker hole when it gets breezy. Anyway, its been a kick using it.
