Check out this rad footage of salmon and char chasing and biting my spinners. I recently trolled No. 7 spinners downstream with an Okuma Waterwolf camera rigged in-line and there’s definitely some cool stuff to be learned by seeing what’s going on down there!
Underwater Video: Lake Tahoe Mackinaw 200 Feet Deep!
We just never know exactly what’s happening under the surface do we? I was over a big school of mackinaw on Lake Tahoe the other day and they didn’t want to bite. It seemed as if they had no interest whatsoever in our gear.
Boy was I wrong! I dropped my trusty [easyazon_link identifier=”B00R8I6W5O” locale=”US” tag=”fiwijd-20″]Okuma WaterWolf[/easyazon_link] camera down there and found that the curious little buggers were, indeed, very interested in my gear…more specifically my sinker! Check it out!
Underwater Stripers: The Rejection!
Denied! Here’s an underwater pic shot on my [easyazon_link identifier=”B00PJ27DRC” locale=”US” tag=”fiwijd-20″]Okuma Water Wolf Camera[/easyazon_link] today of a striped bass giving my lure the equivalent of the middle finger.
He followed for about 10 feet and then decided something just didn’t look right. The interesting part of this shot is the fact that my lure has flipped upside-down…right at the same time the fish rejected it. In previous frames, he was right on the plug’s tail…and the lure was running true.
I had no idea the plug had any roll to it, even after tuning it next to the boat…and yet here it is “flying inverted.”

Underwater Striper Bite Caught on Camera
This afternoon, I had yet another chance to play around with my [easyazon_link identifier=”B00PJ27DRC” locale=”US” tag=”fiwijd-20″]Okuma Water Wolf[/easyazon_link] underwater camera and caught a striper bite on film!
In the shot above, you can see the lure working its way downstream and then it is intercepted head on by a 5-pound striper…
In the video, it appears that the fish bites the lure head first but when you slow it down and watch it frame by frame, you can see that he actually spins on a dime in a nano-second and comes up behind the lure…
The speed at which the fish spins on the bait and inhales it is amazing…
At this point he’s hooked…
And then turns downstream. Notice how the back hook is still hanging free…
The fish seemed to instinctively know to get in the fast water and actually burned some drag. Part of the camera is now in view too…
During the fight, another striper came over to see what was happening…
Is this stuff as fascinating to you as it is me? Man, I just find the underwater view so dang cool! There’s a lot to learn by looking at videos and stills…and you can rest assured you’ll see a lot more of this stuff here soon!
Underwater Striper Action!
In the clear water with a bright sun, the bass were more into chasing than biting
So, what do striped bass look like underwater as they are chasing a plug? Well, today I busted out the Okuma Water Wolf HD underwater camera again and tried to find out.
I had a short window…and it was in the middle of the day, buT i found a few pods of stripers and got some to react to my lure. They would’t eat it, so next time out, I’m going to try dropping the lure back on a longer leader. Still, so cool stuff…
This guy got right up close and personal but didn’t commit Again, I think the fact that I had about a 6-inch leader between the lure and camera may have been part of the issue.
This one’s kinda cool in that the fish appears to be zeroing in on the Water Wolf instead of the bait!
