I was reading somewhere about fish locators that you can see your bait
on the screen. Have any of you guys seen or have one like that? I want
one that I can see the fish make contact with the bait.

Vexilar flasher locators have a great reputation among ice anglers and
anyone doing vertical fishing. The bottom shows as one color, the lure
shows as a different color and the fish show up as a third. It's almost like
a video game, jiggling your lure, watching the blip move up on the screen
and then the rod tip shakes.

Actually though, it's easily done with just about any locator. Simply get
the locator out of the auto mode and turn up the gain or sensitivity until
you can see the lure on the screen. I could do that with my Pinpoint 7520
locator and my Lowrance LMS-332c when walleye fishing.

Or, if the waters you fish have fairly decent clarity, get an Aqua-View or
similar underwater camera. That's just about the ultimate.
