Went down to Rock Creek 1/24/2015 to see if we couldn't catch some crappies, and gills. The bite was fairly slow for us, but we still had a great time. Got maybe a half dozen to dozen crappies, and a couple gills. Hope you guys enjoy the clip and any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I look to get better at editing.

I would guess so it doesn't pile all the ice right at the hole. Seems to shoot it away from it. I don't ice fish but I'd guess that???

I like your videos. I watched some of the others. I think I want to get a GoPro and have you teach me how to do some of that cool stuff.

Pretty cool, you have some nice equipment. I like how the auger shoots out the shavings to the side.

How do you like the inline reel and what brand. I think that is my next upgrade.
The brand is a 13 Fishing Black Betty 6061 and it works awesome Tyler says. I recently switched last year to in line and love it. Thanks for the compliments and hopefully meet ya on the ice sometime.

What are you running for a drone? I've been talking to a guy in Iowa city that custom builds them. His are all 5 blade so if you loose a motor it's still balanced. He also has a custom mount to fit our Garmin virbs.

Mine is a DJI Drone and it works great for me. I've worked with a virb, but I'm not really a fan of it. Been using GoPro's for 3 or 4 years now and that probably plays into why it's hard to adapt to other brands.

I like watching this but at the same time I see a lot of problems for we hunters in the future. Anti hunting crowd could really mess us up and as well as the not-so-ethical-hunters use them for driving deer. Hover one over me while I'm fishing and I'm afraid it will develop terminal engine problems. I see lots of problems with these as does the Federal Govt.

Honestly I couldn't agree more with some parts. To me I like to capture video from all edges of the spectrum for entertainment. I defiantly think there is a time that they should not be present and they really do need restrictions. I'll he 100% honest I do have plans to use the drone to take video/pictures of my decoy spreads and other extra film parts to fill. I hope to learn what blinds like like in fields and water to better my success which I don't feel is unfair to the birds. I will not use the drone though to gain an advantage over the birds or scouting. I feel like that's just cheating and unfair.

A cool function on the Go-pro is time lapse video. You set-up your camera and have it take a picture every 60 seconds or less. At the end of the day take all the pictures and make a time lapse video of you and your buddies hunting or fishing.

Thanks for the info on the in-line reel, that is my next purchase
