How I keep my minnows / shiners alive in between fishing trips
มุมมอง 252ปีที่แล้ว
Just a short video on how I keep my minnows and shiners alive in between fishing trips. It has worked pretty well and I have only lost a few in the month that I've been doing this
Homemade JawJacker automatic hook setter - Cheap, Easy, Effective

This is the automatic hook setter I made for ice fishing. It was easy to make and works very well. This video also has the measurements so you can easily make your own.
Lazy weekend canoe build, mods, and lessons learned
มุมมอง 6K7 ปีที่แล้ว
I wanted to build a boat and decided to try building a plywood canoe first. It was a great learning experience and I wanted to share it since I had trouble finding videos when I first started. Hope this helps.
Yeah Glen how are able to adjust the sensitivity on it? Thank you it seems like it works well
I've never adjusted the sensitivity of it. When I use it, it's with shiners but they rarely set it off. It's usually a strike that sets it off
Looks awesome! Im going to make one. Thank you
Does it work, sure but nobody wants to lug that around and wood is the worst thing to use for the base but hey whatever you want to use and deal with is all good.
LOL thanks for the positive feedback.
That's a great looking boat can you give dimensions of the boat I tried the link and it doesn't work I would like it build one thanks for sharing
I don't have it anymore but here's a link to the plans www.andrewlinn.com/plans/lazyweekender/index.htm
I was going to buy one but they cost like 50 bucks or more this is hugly helpful and saves a lot of money.
Let me know how it works out for you.
@@FerreraGlen hey, I tried your jawjacker and caught 4 pike on it yesterday. very helpful.
@@backcountryoutdoors. Nice! I'm in NE Pennsylvania and we have had a terrible season. I already put my ice stuff away and took the boat out on a lake today.
@@FerreraGlen wow thats crazy we have nagative 15 right now
Nice job! Thanks for sharing. Been wanting one of these !
Nice build ! In a bit nervous about the metall in the top eyelet hmm with my old luck id damage the top at once . But Still im building one :-)
I've never had a problem with it, just make sure the metal is smooth
Nice video vary helpful
Thank you! I made two of them in less than 15 minutes from materials I already had. Both work great after a little adjusting of the "eye trigger" bend angle to adjust trigger sensitivity. Tip - take the paint off the hanger on the trigger point for smoother action.
Cool. I'm still using the original in the video. Keeps going and going.
Hello Glen. How much material i need to make the metalthing in the Front. Hope you will answer. Thank you so much.
1 wire coat hanger
Made it. Works great! Can't wait to try it on the ice
Cool. Let me know how it does. Mine did very well again this year.
@@FerreraGlen will do I mostly tip up fish and made a couple homemade iFish pros which work really well but my buddy is going to Target some browns and the jackers seem to do better for trout
You can make the set up even more sensitive by applying Vaseline to the under side of the wire where the line guide hooks to it.
Made 4 of them 2 for me and 2 for my ice fishing buddy...can't wait to try them out . Happy fishing...stay safe.
Very cool! Hope they work out for you. I just added a small red flag to the pole I use on my jacker so I can see when it has set the hook.
Way better then worrying about getting snapped by a mousetrap trying to set your rig.
hey can you show how to bend the metal coat hanger?
It's been a long time and I don't exactly remember how I bent it. I can tell you that the end that the fishing line goes over is the exact shape of the hanger portion that goes into the cardboard tube of a hanger you would get from the dry cleaners.
@@FerreraGlen thanks for the response. That seems like the hardest part of the whole build.
@@nicholasaesch3813 print out grid paper like I did and it shouldn't be too hard to replicate it.
Too danged cool. Thanks
I like it!!
Thanks
posting this post covid that canoes are hard to find at any store do to no production last year This Lazy weekend Canoe is a great and simple solution if you have the desire to get out on the water this summer High five to the designer
That is a really really cool idea cheap and in expensive but what I’m wondering is the size of your minnow could set it off. Any answers
I've had very few false sets with this. I've used small and medium shiners. If you use something really large that keeps setting it off, you can bend the part that goes through the top eye to make it less sensitive... I think.
@@FerreraGlen I like your quik feedback
@@scottjkern always happy to help a fellow fisherman.
@@FerreraGlen so nice of you. I have troubles bending so it’s curved good
Good job just watched your video liked the part how you showed the trigger 👍
ya made alot of these abit different but all the same good vid
Man I just made me one. All I needed to buy was the eye lid screw i found everything else for free.. Works great thanks!!!
Very cool. Glad I could help. Just found out that automatic hook setting devices like this are illegal in my state. Check your state's regulations.
@@FerreraGlen great thanks. But i live dangerously!!! Lol jk
Mint
Simple and effective idea.. thanks 👍
Glen, good video showing you boat, I enjoyed watching it. I live in Pennsylvania as well (south central).
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm building a 17' center console now.
@@FerreraGlen Cool!
You sir are a genius. Love the trigger mechanism you came up with.
LOL I wouldn't go that far but glad you liked it.
Awesome video, What size of rod and is the action@cashformommy
Great job. Awesome video
Thanks!
Do you remember how long the fishing rod was? Your measurements are great but I would guess some ajusting would be need with a different rod length.
The rod is only 24 inches. If you have a longer rod, you'll need a longer board and have to play with the lengths but it is pretty easy to figure out.
@@FerreraGlen Thank you very much.
Love it! Great video
TY !!
very helpful!
Thanks this is very usefull
Nice video! thanks for the post
Happy to help. Build one, they work great.
I love diy fishing stuff. Nice job on your hacker jaw jacker lol going to make some myself
Thanks. I have some other DIY fishing stuff I'm going to post
The hanger the longer the metal hanger the less force is needed to release the rod tip?
I think it's really the angle that goes through the tip of the rod that the force needs
How much force does it take to release the rod tip?
Hi, takes very little pressure. If it's really windy, sometimes that's enough to set it off.
Howdy Glen. I thought I would cruise on over to your channel and check out the canoe you built. Nice job. Your build gave me some good ideas. Have you built your own Brockway skiff yet? Thanks for following my building of one.
Yes, been seriously thinking about a 16 foot brockway. Even thought about extending it to 18 feet. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out.
have you tried it? i think if you made the pvc so that the rod is closer to 90 the hookset would be more agressive
Yeah I have used it quite a bit and I've had a lot of hookups with it. I did change the angle and the length of the PVC rod holder a little bit so that the real is not sitting on the wood. By doing that I do have a more aggressive snap when the hook is set
I don't recommend testing it with the hook on the line Thanks for the post
I should have a disclaimer of Do not try this at home LOL.
I was wondering why you gave the hook warning. (asking for a friend)
Well made video. Thank you and thanks for the dimensions and excellent instructions. Here's to tight lines this winter.
Thanks. Happy to help.
how wide is your boat? and how much weight do you think it will hold? i am also curious about the height of the sides the reason i am asking is years ago i made a sneak boat 12ft and i weigh about 300lbs and am a big guy and i have been thinking about a pirogue and i am sure i would have to customize it to accept my weight
I'm 180 and had my wife it in it. She is much less than me but I won't take a guess at her weight because I fear for my life LOL. As for the dimensions. I'll have to check and get back to you but it may be a while as it is currently covered with snow. This is where I got the idea and basic instructions for the boat. toledocommunityboathouse.com/2013/130316_lzwk/index.htm. They may be able to tell you more as far as weight capacity. I guess you could always use half inch instead of the quarter inch I used but I'm sure it will add to the overall weight of the canoe and the ability for one person to load and unload it.
I just had to look good work
My son and I built one of these. Great boat, though a bit heavy as you said. We paddle ours, but I've been thinking about a trolling motor setup. Painted ours with primer and red latex house paint. Thanks for the video.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Still a great job
TheEmeraldfox777 Thanks. Had it out fishing today
