Playing with an old GoPro - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tigermidge · 07-02-2020, 02:19 PM

So obtained a GoPro 5 at good price. That way if I drop it in the ocean I will not be heat broken.
Anyway here is some video I shot in HH. This may be more work than it is worth.
Shooting video is a pain, Run the Kayak, cast the rod , get a good drift going, Turn on the camera and make sure the lans is clean.
Oh S$%^ I have a fish on. LOL
Anyway Thanks

Depending on the size of your memory card you maybe surprised how much video you can save on one of these.

It makes editing harder but you can just turn the video on and leave it for the whole fishing trip.

I think mine will save something like 20 hours of video...

You can turn on voice command. When you hookup you say “Gopro start recording “ when you’re done you say “GoPro stop recording”. You want to save battery time you say “GoPro turn off”

That way all you do is focus on catching fish👍🏼
