Ice fishing remains mostly unchanged… until you start introducing modern technology such as drones. Overall fishing has seen drastic changes over the years.
Some anglers stick to the old-school methods, but others enjoy the way new technology provides novel glimpses into the underwater world and allow them to catch more than ever before.
Recently, YouTuber Jay Siemens tried out two of these cutting-edge tools on a frozen Canadian lake in search of smallmouth bass.
The Live Scope underwater camera systems just keep improving, and the clarity of the footage is something special.
Fish seem to be unbothered by it, making it a great way to understand better what lies beneath the water’s surface in your go-to fishing spots.
This can help you decide which lures to choose–whether during warmer or colder days. I don’t know about you, but I definitely want one!

Most of us have a beloved fishing spot with a strange piece of cover that’s loaded with fish and swallows lures.
With this drone, we are able to figure out what the cover is and how the fish relate to it, which helps us find other productive spots in our favorite bodies of water.
Even though $800 is pricey, prices are going down and could be under $500 in the next few years. It’s always great to know more about catching fish, so this product is sure to be a success in our eyes!

In this video, Jay and one of his subscribers use the latest in Live Scope technology and, even cooler, an underwater drone to peek under the ice and get a look at a fish’s world that is seldom seen.
You’re probably going to want some underwater drones after seeing the incredible views it offers if you have never tried one before.
