It will always produce if you have the right stuff. Get you a 93UHD with a LVS34 to find fish and you’ll find em and catch up if you find fish and they don’t bite and come to look find another pod.

Great video as always. We are swamped in snow here. Like up there. Ordered rod holder for Kayak. Last piece other than night lights. Can assemble all the parts after ice off. We got 15 more days ice. Last night buddy called it at 11 pm. Not feeling great. So it was a bust. No bites. He normally try's to hang out tell bitter end.

Red lake is fun for eater sized walleyes saginaw bay will produce some magnums and if you just want keepers you can fish the river jigging a #5 jigging rap and catch 10-13 inchers all day I have had several 200 walleye days walking not 50 yards from my truck there.

What is your normal rod setup for Saginaw Bay? Size leader and quick claps? do you use a barrel swivel ?

@pjvick3128 2 жыл бұрын

The tuned up custom rods commander in 38". I run an okuma ceymar c-10 reel. James prefers an okuma helios hsx-20. I believe we are both spooled up with six pound suffix ice magic. We run a small swivel about 16 inches above a cross lock snap to prevent line twist. The cross lock allows us to change out baits efficiently. Also allows the bait of choice more freedom to work without the motion being restricted by a tight knot.

@josephrosolowski3575 2 жыл бұрын

You might want to consider hiring a guide for your first trip. Many of them now do “follow outs” for around $75-100. You use your transportation and gear, but they take you out on a safe trail to an area that has been productive. At the very least, join the Saginaw Bay Facebook group and look around. Good luck!

We use mega live every time we're on the ice. We just didn't show it. Instead we chose to focus on 2D sonar footage in this episode. We will definitely feature mega live in future shows.

@larrygoodmanson8964 2 жыл бұрын

I have watched your videos for many a year and I love them to pieces. One thing I always wince at is when I see an ice auger laying without the blades covered. Those ‘razor sharp’ blades ‘bare to the world’ just waiting to cut. Don’t get me wrong, I know that everybody does it and occasionally I forget too but I guess I FINALLY felt that I HAD to say something. Please try to pay more attention to the fact that they present a very dangerous threat and maybe address the same on your videos. Again, I love your video content. Please keep them coming. THANX

@19712218 2 жыл бұрын

I always worry about the blades, especially when I’m alone on the ice. Cut yourself in the wrong spot and you could easily bleed to death on the ice all ALONE! Good point sir!

You guys should start showing some of the fails! When fish come in and dont decide to hit, what are your percentages of fish marked to fish you get to bite etc. Also show how often you're moving spots. More behind the scenes action instead of just hooking fish.
