Digital Camera

Readers of Hunting the River King know I love action cameras. They are perfect for capturing footage on my many fishing trips, from wild rainbow trout in distant mountain streams to urban largemouth bass fishing a midst the concrete jungle. I recently received this brand-new camera to review, the IronX Action Camera by DXG. With a host of interesting features, I was intrigued and couldn't wait to take it out. How did it turn out?

Spent the weekend in San Diego recently. Wow, what a neat city, especially for anglers! There is plenty of lakes, creeks, and, of course, the ocean to fish. I decided to try light rock fishing near a popular fishing pier in one of the bays and had a blast. The barred sand bass were all fairly small but put up a fantastic fight on ultralite tackle. I landed 5 of them in less than an hour and lost a few more, all on artificial lures. Water was fairly clear and most of the fish hit close to the shore. Enjoy the video!

Heard of IronX ? It is a new action camera with a remote control wrist strap. Offered by DXG, IronX shoots in 1080p and looks like it will be great for fishing videos! Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming IronX action camera review at Hunting the River King!

I was just introduced to Light Rock Fishing (LRF), an ultralight method of angling for multispecies from the shore. Originally from Japan, this technique was popularized in the UK ( info 1 , 2 ) We hit a calm jetty near a nice stretch of the Pacific Ocean here in California. Fish were hesitant to bite, but we managed 8 total in several hours of fishing.

These ponds looked fantastic, but I couldn't get a bite in them at all. I think they are only seasonal, holding water after a good rain or two. The ruined buildings in the region were interesting though! More photos and video after the jump
