- Cod jigging with underwater camera views in Newfoundland Underwater video of cod fish jigging taken with the GoPro camera. At times the codfish had a whole mouth full of GoPro. A whale showed up just as we were heading home. Here's the link to the original GoPro/cod fish video done in 2012 • Codfish biting camera

Best video ever. I told all my buddy's about this and a lot of people I know ate after seeing it already. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Rabbit Hunter Wow - nice compliment for the video. Thanks!
Went cod jigging for the first time this past weekend - Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
I really need to try this. I've been in places with some huge sign of cod on the fish finder. KMS of fish showing on the bottom. Good idea
Great video, thanks for sharing. I love jigging for cod, we do this off the coast of New England in the spring. Do you prefer hand lines to a rod?
Thanks - Yes I like the hand line but more and more people around here are using the rod these days.
You gotta love da ol jigger bhy!
Nice catch! How deep is that water? Do the cod typically stay near the bottom?
Mark Harrison The GoPro camera is limited to a depth of about 190 feet so my line is somewhat less than that. I'd say the average depth in the video is about 150 feet. Yes cod are often called ground fish and the procedure to catch them is to drop your jigger until it hits bottom and then pull it up a few feet and start the jigging action. Thanks!
Surely this has to be more fun with rod and line rather than hand lines? Amazing how many hit the lure before you hooked one.
Jigging is the traditional way around here but some use rod and line these days. The video is a bit misleading in terms of catch frequency because with the camera mounted on the jigger the extra weight made it tricky to get the normal feel of a hit. Also I wanted, at times, to keep the camera steady to get more video info.
I did some cod jigging down in Torbay just outside of St Johns
Hi Bob,And I thought the Cod where gone everywhere? Geez, you had a ton of them! Nice action video, I loved it when they tried to eat your Go Pro!Too bad, you can't beam the video aboard your boat so you can see what is out there.... But I Am sure that there are laws against doing that!Nice video, & I am glad you shared it!Kurt
+iflyhelis Thanks! Not sure about laws, maybe not made yet re live views. Personally I like the mystery of fishing so might not like live views that much.
All I can say is, they bite quick at the bait!
Great video Bob, bet the go pro had few marks on it! Appreciate you posting it, middle winter here in NL, nice to have something to look forward to this summer
+Ed Wilson Thanks Ed. Yeah not much snow in this area yet but supposed to be some on the way.
Very cool, well done.
Bob - hum I thought all the cod in NF were gone. I hope DFO watches your channel and see all them cod :)
Steve Rob No shortage now a days :)
We have plenty in Nuuk too. Both Uvak and Atlantic cod!
Hey bob Are the locations you choose to fish shoals you’re aware of??? I hear fishing shoals is important in cod fishing, thoughts?
Hi Daniel, I depend solely on my guide and brother in law (a former commercial fisherman) to find the spots. I concentrate on catching with camera and hook.
wow lots of cod, does that mean the cod is back in Newfoundland?
Seems good in some areas this year but not in others so hard to say if it is back in a sustainable way or not. No expert so have to see what they say.
Fun video! What's your favorite way to cook up cod?
Erich's Alaska Channel Mostly I dredge in flour with just salt and pepper and then fry in vegetable oil. Lately I've been experimenting with some deep fried ideas (based on what others have done). Getting close to where I want to be and will be checking latest recipe out on some relatives tomorrow :)
Make some beer batter and then soak the fish in it for a minute and then roll em in salt and vinegar chip crumbs and then deep fry until they are golden brown
0:02 You're pretty modern, looks like, with the outboard motor and all. I was expecting you Newfoundlanders to have those ancient cast-iron single-cylinder inboard jobs... :-)
We're getting there :)
Yes your right it does say if it’s over 5 oz it can only have one hook
Sharpen your hooks and file the barb of keep tension on your line and you will catch more to many misses. But you did good nice video
Thanks 👍
Nice video Bob.
Paul Sargent Thanks - challenging to pare the footage down to what you see. Glad you like it :)
Don’t seem like that worm hook does as well as the 3 hook
Think the rules say one hook only.
What kinda Kubota tractor do you have
FullTrucker It's a BX25
I wish I had a Kubota tractor, but I have a Kubota RTV400, 700, and 900
Bob where are you from?
Newfoundland
Lol
I live in Newfoundland with
