Springer Fishing GoPro Video

[Antlershed]

Took my GoPro with me this weekend springer fishing. I need to work on my mounting location, and I also need to get the remote. We were only able to get one fish on video since we had to run up an turn the cam on.

Columbia River Spring Chinook 4-5-13

That's pretty cool... 

I haven't caught one yet in three trips and can't get free till Friday.  Hoping for another extension!

I like the sliding rod holder system you have on that boat.  Pretty slick.

You guys are very quiet fisherman.

[Antlershed]

You guys are very quiet fisherman.

That is our secret...very very quiet so we can sneak up on them 

With the waterproof housing on the camera, not much noise gets through.

[stevemiller]

what part of the river are you on if you dont mind me asking.

[Antlershed]

Cathlamet area

Nice, I'd like to get a take down vid while anchor fishing, then capture the fight that ensues. Seems like fishing shows on TV rarely get the hit, always just the fight. Good luck, fun times ahead!

[stevemiller]

Ok thanks i went to the other thread and saw all that lol. nice going great vid.

[fishcrazy]

nice team work on that landing job :you:

Bret, I didn't notice any fish, was too busy looking at the boat....  Great job guys...  We were at Kalama and heard all the reports from Cathlament all day..  Was almost ready to re-load and head there, but decided to stick it out, should have pulled anchor when I thought about it...

[Antlershed]

Thanks Mike. There was quite a few fish hooked in there on Saturday, but there was also about 50 boats at one time.

[bullcanyon]

That's a sweet boat.  Looks like a ton of room.

[Antlershed]

Thanks! There is a ton of fishing room, especially with only two guys in it. I'm loving the fact that we went 84" wide. My wife and I are expecting our first kid in July and I keep telling her we can pull the bench seats out and setup the pack n play 

[PolarBear]

Nice!
I need to get one of those cameras.  We had some crazy, epic battles drifting for steelhead this winter.

Please remove this thread completely. After viewing the video twice I have since been parked at the website for www.gopro.com. I have decided that this is the next toy to document crabbing, humpy fish'n, bottom fish'n, and what ever else. Being able to watch your video is leaving me to believe that above all else....I.....MUST.....HAVE......A........GOPRO.

Nice lil video

Haha it will consume you! You won't stop thinking about it until you have one, and THEN, you won't stop until you have all the accessories that go with it. Smossy is obsessed with his, it goes everywhere with us.

Lol! They are definitely a lot of fun and there are all kinds of mounts/accessories.

[h20hunter]

I've already got myselft talked into it. Looks like a lot of fun to mess around with. I'm just figuring out where to mount it on the boat to have a good angle for the deck.....I'm thinking "humpy cam" 2013! Granted....just another pink to most but I'm gonna have a 7 year old on deck to slaughter them so....good times.

[h2ofowlr]

A nice springer for the boat is a great way to fill the weekend.

No one wants to see you and your wife going at it man.

[h20hunter]

Whoa whoa there buddy....nobody said anything about that!

Smossy your guilty too! Read your girls last line. 

[h20hunter]

Smossy.....how high off a crab pot do you think it would need to be for a crab cam angle?

Hahahaha. I know I literally go everywhere and record everything. I even have the game warden speeding when I was going down to Moclips for razor clams for the last dig. He seen me recording him and just smiled. It was awesome.

Smossy.....how high off a crab pot do you think it would need to be for a crab cam angle?

How big are your pots? The fish eye set on 1080-30fps with the wide setting on should be good enough if you just set it in the upper corner facing the bait, Id probably just use lots and lots of zip-ties. Not really a good mount for that one. Ive seen some really awesome videos of Gopro Crabbing. It will show you the faults in your Pot to. Shows where they get in, get out, what you could change to increase your catch. Good stuff.

You could also on like the bottom left side on the outside where it wouldnt interfear with a door, ziptie down a small piece of board just big enough to put a 3M sticky gopro mount on, Then just put one or two screws through it to make sure the 3M tape doesnt fail. Then use like 3 or 4 of the length attachments like this

:to get a view a little further from the pot.

I like the view from the inside personally though otherwise your cages are going to be in the way alot, Get a dive housing if you want to record underwater in a crap pot, the picture is about 100x better unless you pick up a Hero 3, Those lenses on the housings are built alittle better then the 2 that I have.

[h20hunter]

They are fairly standard square pots. I was thinking that a section of pvc sticking out at a 45 with mounting plate would be secure and provide a full pot view.

Yeah that would work if you can secure it safely enough. Id even tie a piece of maybe like 100lb mono to the camera and secure it to your pot float, Just in-case it somehow falls off. Nothing like losing a few hundred $$ piece of equipment.

Darn you Evil Smossy....I'm buying a GoPro cause I wanna watch crabs get in the pot.

[wildmanoutdoors]

The cooking pot! Lol

[Smossy]

Buahahaha, someone has a brand new hero 2 on here somewhere for pretty cheap.
 

[Smossy]

The 3's are cool though if you can afford them. They have a better stock case. They just a tad smaller,  They shoot 1080 in 120fps. Few other little things but other then that there's not much of a difference for 100$ more.

[h20hunter]

Yah...can't swing the $$ on the top end...momma would kill me.

[Antlershed]

For mounting it in the boat I would get it up high. Mine was about 6.5' up in the air for that video.

[h20hunter]

Roger that....I'm thinking somthing mounted off the corner of the canvas would be cool....kind of a looking down deck view.....

[MtnMuley]

Which Go Pro?

[h20hunter]

The GoPro3 White looks plenty capable of getting the job done.

[MtnMuley]

I was meaning which one was used in this video.  was wondering if it was a new 3.

[Antlershed]

My video was shot with the Hero 3 Silver 

[Becky]

Hey my on it, if you're not going to get the Hero3 black edition - get the Hero2. It has the same specifications of the Hero3 Silver but slightly larger. You save a lot of money for the same quality video (and better quality than the White).

I really need to get my gopro out and about this summer. I bought it for helmet action on the snowmobile but i'm not the best with the computer and editing stuff so it's pretty much sat in the box since the first season i had it out. I have a hero 2 with some accessories. Maybe we need a gopro thread to share some tips and tricks. I have an RC plane i really want to mount it in too.

Cool video too Antler. You've inspired me to start messing with mine again.

There is a gopro thread. Im the unofficial gopro go-to guy. Ill try to find it and bump it.
Ive listed lots of good information and sources in regards to the gopro.

Pretty soon you'll be like me. lol
There are a good majority of my attachments that I could find at the time.
