A fishing belt, unlike a traditional belt, is a multi-functional piece of equipment. By adding the right accessories, you can maximize your belt and be more productive on and in the water.  Accessorizing your fishing belt starts with two indispensable pieces of equipment: clips and stainless steel D-rings.

The clips can secure your pork rind pouch or eel bag. The stainless steel D-rings can hold gear like your leader wallet, lip grippers, and gloves; they also make great anchors for your Dragon Tail lanyards.

The AquaSkinz E.H.P.S belt, stainless steel D-rings, clips, leader wallet, pork rind holder, and eel bag are a great modular system. You can easily configure and re-configure your fishing belt per your fishing style or method of choice prior to each fishing trip. Now that’s fishconomic 😉

Historically, catching a fish from strike to landing on camera has been a challenge.  Fish are difficult to predict and the cameras varied greatly in size, weight, and water resistance. But now with modern technology, you can keep your two hands on the rod, hook, and land your fish while the whole experience is captured effortlessly via GoPo!

Learning to use GoPro is easy. The user guide is well written and there is no shortage of YouTube videos.  But, how do you fish GoPro?

There are two ways to secure the GoPro WiFi remote while you fish. One option is to secure the Wifi remote to your rod by passing a piece of Velcro through the side slots and wrap it around the rod.  A second option is to hang the WiFi remote from piece of Vinyl tubbing around your neck.  The remote is waterproof, but If you are skishing, put the remote control in a waterproof bag and secure the bag to vinyl tubing; the re-charge terminals are exposed!

There are a several options for mounting the GoPro camera while you are fishing.  The right mounting option depends on how you fish.

The GoPro head strap is a very versatile camera mounting option. You can use it from shore, kayak, canoe, dory, or boat.  It works great while skishing also. To get a consistent first-person point-of-view, secure a small triangular jig to the back plate; this will position the camera at the appropriate angle every time.

The GoPro tripod adapter is a great way to secure the camera to an adjustable three legged aluminum tripod.  If you are fishing from shore or on ice, this is a great option for a third-person poit-of-view.

If you are on a kayak, canoe, dory, or boat consider getting two GoPro’s and mount them to get a first person and third person perspective.  Scotty andRam Mount ave several mounting products.  For a fish-eye view, the best mounting option is: TrollPro.

Before you head out on your next fishing trip, fully charge your GoPro WiFi remote and camera using a double USB power charger on a timer switch.   After your fishing trip, download all the video and picture files from your large capacity microSD card.  For photo editing, I use GIMP.  And for video editing, I use GoPro Studio. Both are free and run on multiple operating systems.
