Are underwater cameras worth it for ice fishing?

Asked: Squirmy Wormy Farms, Last Updated:

I use it primarily to check bottom structure and if I have kids out with me, or someone new to ice fishing, it's a ton of fun to let them watch huge schools of perch! Other than that, I don't use it for jigging or watching bites, etc. Definitely worth the $100 if you can find a used one though.
