Using a GoPro hunting/fishing

I use mine while fishing. We either use the head mount or attach it to the gaff when fishing offshore. I like the perspective that the head mount gives the most. Also, the chest mount is pretty cool too.

I was thinking about a head mount. That seems like it would be the best perspective.

I was thinking about placing it on the fishing pole, but that probably would miss the action in the water. A tripod would be useful, too. I'm about to spend so much money.

this mount works really well for mounting it to different places on our boat. might want to look into these too

I'm hoping to be able to put mine to use over the holidays with some duck hunting and maybe a quick fishing trip.

So hopefully I can post some results pics/vids in a few weeks.

I'm getting one for christmas.

Any accessories picked out?

Got one mount on my bow. Haven't recorded any kills yet but target practice recording got me excited

I clamp it on the windshield on my console when I'm fishing. That gives a full view of the front deck. When hunting, I just clamp it on a tree or bush (above and behind me if I can).

That jaw clamp mentioned for sure. Maybe a head mount or chest mount. Want to get a few spare batteries and charger. And a picatinny rail mount, going to put a small section of rail on my speargun and use that to mount it to the gun. I want a floaty back door as well. Pelican case to keep the stuff in. May end up getting a suction cup mount as well.



Not all at once, obviously Jaw and extra batteries to begin with, and figure out which mount is best for the ski trip.

I want to make a homemade rodholder mount for kayak/offshore too at some point.

It all looks easy and fun ........it's a pain in the arse. Just enjoy the moments and quit trying to recapture them . Way more trouble that they're worth IMO. Sold both of my gifted GP's to a TV show host.

Not looking to be the next Michael Bay. I just want to have a few videos of me doing things to look back on when I can't do them anymore many years in the future.

Plus, it would be cool to show my future kids footage of me when I was young.

I rigged a head mount out of a headlight strap and some electrical tape to see if I would like it while hunting. It bothered the shite out of me.

Only use I have for the head mount is to play with it on the ski trip, and maybe some diving eventually. I don't intend to use it hunting much. Clamp to the stand or a screw in hook above the stand on some bowhunts perhaps.
