May 3, 2013 By JD Leave a Comment

I had some guys out on the boat throwing the Alabama Rig for stripers and I promised I’d re-post this video from a year or two back. So, Corey & Joe this one is for you…

Underwater Video: Inside a Bait Ball!

March 14, 2012 By JD 3 Comments

So, you see those bait ball on your depth finder…but have you ever wondered what it really looks like down there? Me too! That’s why I dropped a camera down in some Western reservoirs last summer and fall…to find out what’s going on beneath the surface. Unfortunately, the water clarity wasn’t the best but you still get the idea!

Take a trip to the Bottom of Lake Tahoe…just like the guy in the Godfather did!

February 16, 2012 By JD 3 Comments

Lake Tahoe is one of those places that has almost intrigued me. There’s just something about that clear water that inspires one to ponder what might lurk down there. At its deepest point, the lake bed is 1,600 feet beneath the surface. While I couldn’t get down that far, I did get my camera down to 100 feet last summer and had a look around.

Here’s what the guy wearing the concrete shoes in the Godfather may have seen…

Underwater View of Trout Trolling: See what you’re missing!

February 7, 2012 By JD 8 Comments

Ok trollers pay close attention: You think you know what’s going on down around your downrigger? Think again! I shot this video last summer and fall while chasing rainbows, king salmon and kokanee in various lakes around Nor Cal. Interesting stuff…

Underwater Video: Salmon Bites…and misses!

January 20, 2012 By JD 5 Comments

If you’re like me, you probably have spent a considerable amount of time wondering what goes on under the surface. What’s it look like down there? What are the fish doing? What do my lures look like? Well, I’ll be doing a seminar at the Sacramento International Sportsmen’s Expo today Friday, Jan. 20 (at 3 PM) and again on Saturday Jan. 21 (6 PM) in the California Sportsmen’s Theatre… the topic: Underwater video.

I’ll be showing some interesting footage of all the bites you miss but never know you had, an underwater view of the controversial Alabama Rig in action, what some of our favorite salmon lure look like underwater, what it looks like 100 feet down on the bottom of Lake Tahoe…and more. Here’s a sneak peek:
