How Do You Make an Ice Fishing Camera?

One of the most rewarding activities during the cold winter months is ice fishing. But if you don’t have the right equipment, it can be difficult to know where to cast your line or what type of fish you will catch.

So, how do you make an ice fishing camera? It’s actually quite easy and inexpensive with some simple supplies and a few hours of your time.

To create an ice fishing camera, start by obtaining a waterproof camera equipped with an infrared light feature. A power source, such as batteries or a generator, is also necessary to operate the camera.

Then, gather the necessary materials for constructing the camera housing, such as screws, nuts and bolts, and waterproof sealant. With all components in hand, it is now time to assemble your ice fishing camera.

Start by drilling holes in the sides of your housing for the screws and nuts and bolts. Secure them into place with waterproof sealant.

Then attach the camera lens to the front of the housing using a mounting bracket. Once everything is secured in place, attach the power source and connect it to your camera.

Now it’s time to place your ice fishing camera in its ideal spot on the lake or pond where you plan on doing your fishing. You can submerge your housing up to three feet below the surface depending on what type of fish you are after. The infrared light will make it possible for you to see underwater even in dark conditions.

Conclusion:

Making an ice fishing camera is surprisingly easy and affordable with just a few basic supplies and tools. All it takes is some patience as you assemble all of the parts together before placing it in its ideal location on the lake or pond. With this device, you can easily scout out where fish are located so that you can land yourself a big catch this winter!
