Happy to help a fellow fisherman (notice I did not say "catcher" man )

I found a plastic tripod @ REI that sits low and can be mounted to different things since it also has a Velcro strap:

I simply put it under the front hatch bungee cords and since the legs have rubber ends, it does not move around at all. I don't think you even need to strap the velcro around the bungees but it doesn't hurt to be safe:



I made the video in this post with my Olympus you see here. Not ideal since there is no remote and trying to get up there to turn it on (especially if I actually had a nice fish on) would be tough.

I am currently looking for a lightweight video camera with a remote that is either waterproof or has an underwater case accessory that could be used.
