See What You're Missing: It's Elemental 

With the Fish Spy Underwater Camera, you can take your sight and mind fully into an element your human body can never completely enter, and see everything the fish you're pursuing can see. You may not be able to easily swim with the fishes, but, from the end of your line, the Fish Spy can, and with 4 hours of battery life, and the ability to send a real-time live stream to your mobile device, courtesy of its built-in WiFi hotspot, as well as storing up to seven hours of footage on the integral SD card that comes with this subsurface dynamo of angling tech, the Fish Spy allows you to see what it's seeing, as clearly and as fully as you would if you were able to dive in, dive down, and swim around yourself.

Used by top angler Dave Lane, the Fish Spy is the latest advance in underwater camera technology, allowing you to see deeper than ever before, with minimal hassle.

The Fish Spy doesn’t rely on you having mobile phone signal, and doesn’t use any data; simply ensure that the Fish Spy is fully charged, download the Fish Spy app, and turn on your device’s WiFi – your device should find the Fish Spy without a hitch, leaving you ready to cast out and start watching.

On an Android device, your Fish Spy range is up to an incredible 100metres, while an IPhone will give you a little less, at around 70metres; however, the IPhone does have a range of accessories to boost your Fish Spy’s performance.



Fish Spy – Keeping Fishing Social

One of the unique, and best, features of the Fish Spy Underwater Camera is the ability to highlight key action points while you're recording. Combined with the Fish Spy's impressive capacity to store up to seven hours of subsurface footage, for you to play back later, this makes it easy to select the shots you want to share on social media – why not tag us friendly folk at Angling Direct? We'd love to see what you're seeing, and get a glimpse of the dark depths action at your favourite venue, wherever you are in the world.

The Fish Spy lets you see just what the fish you hope to catch think of your bait, and check that you've got your presentation spot on. It introduces you to a dynamic exploration of all the features of your venue, in full-colour, factually accurate real time, rather than just as a computer-generated approximation of what the camera thinks is there. Best of all, though, the Fish Spy's record, store, and share capabilities make it possible, finally, for anglers to prove just how massive the one that got away really was!

YouTube videos don't lie, and with the ability to easily upload your Fish Spy footage, all your angling friends can see just how good your new bit of kit is – be the first of your mates to get a Fish Spy Underwater Camera, get some great footage uploaded on social, and sit back and smile as everyone else suddenly wants a piece of the action you've now got.



The Gift That Keeps On Giving

If you're looking for a gift for the fishing fanatic in your life, whether for a birthday, wedding anniversary, or other special occasion, then the Fish Spy Underwater Camera really is the gift that keeps on giving.

When you give someone the Fish Spy, you're not just giving them a camera that can film underwater; you're giving them the key to a whole new world, and the ability to become, briefly, a little more than merely human.

Giving someone the means to transcend their elemental limitations, and explore the world that gave them their hobby, sport, or career in all its depth and complexity is the ultimate sign of how much that individual means to you, and the value and worth you place on their pleasure and ambitions.

When you give yourself the gift of a glimpse into a world you've always interacted with from a distance, you reward your commitment and enthusiasm with knowledge you can't find anywhere else, and a sense of wonder and appreciation that will last a lifetime.

At the end of the day, when the cups you've won are collecting dust in your trophy cabinet, when the angling media have moved on to a bright, new superstar, the essential heart of angling, the warm buzz that never fades, is a sense of genuine connection with water, and the wealth of life it contains. With the Fish Spy, you're able to make that intangible essence real, and encounter it again and again as you play back the scenes you've captured from your subsurface explorations.



A New Angle

If you're not an angler, the Fish Spy Underwater Camera still brings benefits you'll want to have in your life. Simply attach it to any strong, water-resistant long line, and open your eyes to a new world of possibilities that can feed into your art, music, creative writing, or just give you another level of enjoyment and appreciation for the world around you.

If you're studying water for any reason, whether for career or academic interest, or simply from a sense of personal passion, you'll already know the value and importance of seeing what lies beneath. Water's very essence means you can never take it at face value; you have to go deeper, and see the water as though you're part of the life of that water. With the Fish Spy Underwater Camera, getting into the swim of the subsurface culture has never been easier – and you don't even have to get your feet wet!

A World of Possibility

There are a wealth of uses for the Fish Spy beyond trying to find fish, and it’s a tool that takes you beyond carp fishing, giving you a wealth of potential for other disciplines, too

In terms of carp fishing you can use the Fish Spy not only to give you a 100% live accurate view of your spot or swim, but also to indicate the amount of bait that may already be present. This valuable information helps you tailor your rigs and baiting approach to increase you chances of success.

Another great time saving aspect of the Fish Spy Underwater camera is that you can cast out and map your swim quickly, simply by watching and identifying clearer areas or potential fish hotspots. All this, with the added bonus of being able to spot fish below the surface when usually we are stood waiting to see one crash. It’s fishing in HD!

In terms of coarse fishing, the Fish Spy can be great for locating deeper areas of rivers when trotted through the swim, and also an unbelievably exciting deadbait float for pike fishing. The possibilities with the Fish Spy are only limited by your imagination.

The range of accessories and add ons that are available ensure that you can fish effortlessly in conjunction with the Fish Spy, still with no need for WiFi or phone signal, and it’s easy to share your breathtaking live footage to all your friends via social media. Fish Spy is truly a step into the future of fishing, and a product that really gives anglers an edge. Ultimately, if used correct way, and in the right situation, it’s a tool that will help you catch more.



What We Like About It

The first thing that appeals about the Fish Spy is its design; it really does give the impression that you're firing a bullet into the water, but not a bullet that can cause damage; rather, a bullet of potential that will inform every future interaction you have with the water, and make you a better angler, a more appreciative photographer, a more conscious student, a better informed scientist, a more inspired arist, and a more knowledgeable writer.

Beyond the instant appeal of the Fish Spy's design, the fact that it is rechargeable via a standard USB makes it great for getting out and about with, allowing it to be charged from a laptop, or, if you have the latest in-car entertainment, through the USB slot on your sound system, giving you an instant power boost to the already impressive four hours of battery life that the Fish Spy can offer.

The fact that it can record and store live footage without an internet connection, and that it creates its own WiFi hotspot, rather than relying on internet access from your phone, laptop, or tablet, gives the Fish Spy a leading tech edge. Going deeper often results in losing internet connection, especially in remote parts of the UK, where internet signal beyond the bounds of bricks and mortar buildings can be somewhat hit and miss even when you're not doing anything particularly radical with your tech.



Finally, having watched Fish Spy's videos, the quality of footage is truly second to none. If you've never been interested in what goes on in your local river before, seeing the videos that come up from this fantastic underwater camera will make you want to head straight out, and get up close and personal with a part of life you've been missing out on.

Grab yourself a Fish Spy today, and finally get the answer to that haunting question: What lies beneath?
