That would be awesome if that was the case! I really don’t know for sure that’s what it is, just what it looked like to me.

I think what happens is when it’s straight up and down in deep water and the drone is parallel with the bottom the tether has some stretch and spring to it and doesn’t spool as freely with a more abrupt angle over the side of the boat and down. Any movement in the boat up and down or movements when piloting the drone that aren’t strong enough to pull more tether off the reel it causes some up and down movement sometimes as it’s attached to the tail end. Usually once I have more of an angle in the line after moving around some I don’t notice it as much.

I've caught some in the Bear river over in Newry that were pushing 4 inches, but they're definitely tiny guys.

I think they’re neat, just a small baitfish but cool to find them in these deepest places in some of these lakes

You think it was? I thought it was a top to an old can or something like that.

@MFEGoingDeep im not 100 sure but to me it looks like 🤔 EDIT: never mind , I think you are right, if you look closer it really looks like a bottle cap sunken into the sand But at 4:14 I saw a snorkel now 😂😅

I didnt even notice that snorkel till I was rewatching the footage later on 😂 thought I saw a ring too but ended up being a soda can pop top 🤦‍♂️

I’ve been working on that this summer, practicing with the claw and you’ll definitely see that in the more recent videos. Starting to get a decent sized collection of bottles for sure!

Seem to be getting better at it! 😊

Haha I like that! Definitely a good story 👍

Thanks! The tip up was actually fairly light. Some of the glass bottles full of mud and stuff can be more challenging for it to move and is about the max for weight.

Thanks! It is a gorgeous area and it is sad to see some of the stuff left in there but we can certainly learn from those mistakes moving forward and clean up as we can!

@@MFEGoingDeep cant even imagine the junk in sebago way more people !!

⁠Working on a plan to video there coming up really soon.

Definitely! The thought occurred to me after the fact too 🤦‍♂️ I’ll do something like that moving forward. Thanks!

Glad you enjoy my videos 👍

This is in Moosehead

@@MFEGoingDeep oh noice

How much does a machine like that cost?

⁠They start at a couple grand and up from there

Exactly 👍

Good idea 👍

Wonder what it was?! Definitely seemed like plenty of fish all around the area and for sure some big ones!

@@MFEGoingDeep I'm assuming they had a barge attached to it years ago when they were working building the bridge.

Feel free to email me mfegoingdeep@gmail for what you might have in mind. I don’t rent the unit out or anything like that but would consider some for hire projects or potential collaborations depending on the circumstances.

The slender silvery ones are smelts and the brownish golden ones are sculpins.

@@MFEGoingDeep ah nice I knew what the smelts were but I wasn't sure about the ones on the way bottom

Yeah those aren’t something I’ve seen very often other than when I’m videoing some of these deep lakes. Seem to always find a few laying on bottom in the deeper water.

@@MFEGoingDeep Yeah I have seen a few in your video's when your drone was at the bottom of some deeper lakes

Thanks! I did see a bunch of Stripers on the Kennebec in the prior video. Was just at Craig Pond in Orland and while driving home I was right along the river in Bucksport and thinking the same thing.

I don’t have a name for it, something I made for the video using GarageBand app.

Thanks! I didn’t notice a big repaired area it all seemed to blend in so not sure if I had viewed that spot or not. I was glad to see those salmon, I wasn’t sure if I would like you said I also thought they might be concentrated more in the current on the Milford side but it worked out. I’ll have to time another visit earlier next spring to coincide with some of the other runs when they happen!

I was too! I was glad to see those salmon I was really hoping to see some. Cool place to explore for sure!

Lol 😂

I was hoping to see some! It happened fast but was still pretty excited about it

@@MFEGoingDeep yeah it was very cool to see those I might go snorkeling or something up in there to see if I can see any myself

Be careful if you do! Lots of weird and strong current around there.

Oh I’m sure it would!

I figured there would be a smallmouth around somewhere but never saw a single one. Not sure if the Stripers would prey on them or what, I’m sure there were some big enough around so that they could!

This is by the bridge in Gardiner.

@@MFEGoingDeep nice I might go by there

There was Stripers all over too!

@@MFEGoingDeep yeah i know I gotta go see if I can catch any up there

I use the v6 expert

@MFEGoingDeep I need to fix my fifish v6 expert. I have one led lights out. Do you know how to fix it. Also, which underwater drone is better chasing m2 pro max or qysea fifish e-go

⁠Have you tried contacting Qysea about it? Not sure when you got it but they cover stuff like that sometimes under warranty and if they don’t that’s gonna be your best bet on getting a replacement light and instruction on what to do to fix it. I have not used a chasing uwd for a comparison to a fifish but I’ve been happy with mine for what I do with it and just looking at the designs I feel like in some of the rivers and streams with current I explore the chasing unit would struggle based on its shape and design as opposed to the fifish being more sleek in the water.

It was a little tricky but it worked out! I was waiting for one to land in my boat, I’d be watching the screen as I’m operating the drone then there’d be a big SPLASH close by. Jumped me a few times haha 😂

Thanks! I hadn’t seen one either until yesterday. Really cool seeing them jump out of the water.

Definitely quite a few Stripers and I was surprised at the size on some of those catfish. I’ve really only seen bullheads around and those don’t get that big, not sure what they were, channel cats maybe 🤷‍♂️

Sure do! They come into the rivers from the ocean to spawn. First time seeing them yesterday, some were jumping which was really cool!

​@@MFEGoingDeep You were there around the same time as me! I got some good clips of em jumping, in one the Sturgeon missed a great Blue heron by about 1-2 inches, it was super close.

You got the location right 👍😊

@@MFEGoingDeep awesome, lol. I have a bit of thalasaphobia, so I remember because I wouldn't go swimming. Eek.

I feel like the bass are nesting still, not far from this area when I first started doing this there was a whole group of nice bass that I took some video of that seemed a lot more active and not skittish at all. This would’ve been end of July early August. Water temp was in the low 50’s as of this video.

Remember, this video is just one time in November and I’m mostly right on the bottom searching around, definitely doesn’t mean there isn’t any fish there and that you guys wouldn’t do well fishing now or other times as well.

@@MFEGoingDeep ty :)

I think the majority of gamefish here roam the open water, chasing schools of smelts mostly. Probably why trolling and covering lots of area can be effective. I know they definitely will concentrate in smaller shallower areas during spawning time but am hoping to uncover some type of deep water areas this summer that hold fish consistently and what that looks like as far as structure, springholes, etc. The water is still fairly cold so they could be really anywhere in the water column still. I think later on in the summer this spot would hold more bass, they may still be nesting and therefore in different areas I’m not really sure. Salmon and Lakers I would think cruise by here, just a matter of timing to see them as they come by searching for food. I did notice the second day I was here a lot of fish rising for insects so that is certainly an available food source.

Are you talking about taking it completely apart or adding and removing the robotic claw type of thing?

@MFEGoingDeep yes I'm talking about taking it apart completely. Can you make a full video of that

Sounds interesting, maybe some day if I get some kind of training to work on them. I don’t want to want to break or ruin something!

@MFEGoingDeep which underwater drone is better chasing m2 pro max or qysea fifish e-go

I’ve never used the chasing m2 pro but before I got my fifish I did a bunch of research and it made sense for me for what I was looking for and wanted to do. Definitely happy with it and glad I got it!

The large green one is a Fresca bottle, looks like comparing to others online the date I could find was 1967. The larger brown bottle was Anhueser Busch dating back to the early 70’s. The smaller brown bottle was a duraglas I beverage bottle and the oldest of the 3, looks like the stamps indicate the year 1941. That’s what I’ve been able to find so far. Thanks for watching! 👍

@@MFEGoingDeep That is really cool! Hope you find more stuff like this in your adventures!
