It was a bit of a challenge putting this trip together. We had it lined up twice previously only to have ice conditions or severe winter weather force a cancellation.
Awesome video guys still love the intro’s and unloading your trailer, only one thing I need to correct you on.....winter can NEVER be to long!! LOL, Looking forward to next weekends episode.......
Thanks for another great episode! Been a slow wally bite and whole lot of snow on the river here in central SD..... Seems like I need to take a drive south next weekend!
@@InDepthOutdoorsTV come on over and show me how to put em on the ice! There is at least 2 ft of good ice on the river here, and 2ft of snow on top of it
If you guys are interested in exploring more of the Midwest come down to Maryville Missouri!!! We have about 12 inches of ice! I’d love to show you guys what Missouri ice can offer!
I noticed at the 24:34 mark it looks like you guys have a completely different type of bit on the 40v strikemaster. Is that a prototype that your trying out or just another brand of bit all together? I got the 40v in 10” and I absolutely love it been the best auger I’ve ever owned so far.
@@InDepthOutdoorsTV Okay, I was more or less wondering because it was mentioned the fish fed mostly on insects due to the lack of a minnow based forage or no minnow base. So being tungsten is heavier to use especially in shallow lake where fish primarily feed on insects the old debate whether tungsten vs. lighter lure material for a fish to inhale(bite) may have increased your catch. Course the weather, equipment/line, location, the fish, etc... all factor in also to know whether or not your lure choice was the best presentation to use on that particular day. My initial post(subject) just came to mind when watching this episode based off my past experiences, but was experienced many times in shallow water ice fishing bites where lets say a Purist(plastic body ice fishing jig) out shined using a lead tear drop jig. Course those experiences and days were long before the days of using tungsten jigs for ice fishing, lol. Jame's old memories of DG reports and the InFisherman Staff's TV shows and written articles about the prairie ponds and waters of Nebraska's Valentines had myself in "Awh" back years ago also. Thanks Jame's for this InDepthOutdoorsTV episode, I had forgotten all about the Valentine area Nebraska. Mark it down back on my ice fishing Bucket List!!!
Wow, saw a lot of GREAT EATIN go back down that hole! I'm all about let'em go, let'em grow but NOT till the FREZZERS FULL!! Great episode guy's! When you gonna restock your online store been tryin to get a XL Hoodie for the last few weeks but so far you seem to be out of my size.
@@InDepthOutdoorsTV O.K. cant wait to get 1. Make sure ya'all have plenty of all sizes. Me Andy fishin buds cant wait to get our hands on some I.D.O. gear over here in Michigan.
Keyhole and Glendo are both good bets. Walleye, perch, and crappie are in those lakes. Huge rainbows outside of Laramie at Hattie is also a good option.
Glad that trip finally happened for you guys. Welcome to the Nebraska Sandhills!

Nice to see the release. Upper Midwest folks need to take on this habit.
Great day on ice delicious Crappie 😉👍🎣🎣🎣🎣
Great show James and wow them Gill's and crappies were the size of dinner plates.
Yes! Been waiting for another episode. Thank you.
Just a great show. Much appreciated.
Thank you!

Enjoyed that episode!!! Super close to home!!!
Awesome show! Had the opportunity to fish the sand hills and Merritt when i lived in NE. Definitely some special bodies of water in that region!
We can't wait to go back!
Thanks for another great episode!

Many lakes in MN are a slush nightmare. Road trip!

My Bullwhip has caught me more Giant Crappie then any of my other rods combined! I really need to make that trip some time!
If you guys are interested in exploring more of the Midwest come down to Maryville Missouri!!! We have about 12 inches of ice! I’d love to show you guys what Missouri ice can offer!
I lost count on the crappies trying to count them handshakes.
Looks like north side of Merritt reservoir.
I used to live over there and it's a shame I didn't know how to ice fish. I was out there all winter too!
Awesome episode!
Hey I fish Merritt all the time wondering what lake you guys were on. Great video!!!!
We got on some Tanks this morning!!!
Let me know when you all want to catch those Nebraska walleye!!! Glad to see people coming to this great fishing state.
Next time you're in Valentine you need to go for catfish. One or two world records have come from that area.
Check out Glendo reservoir in Glendo Wyoming. Great fishery for white and black crappie! The jumbo perch are impressive there also!
Glendo Wyoming

Something new from StrikeMaster that will be released for next season.
Look forward to seeing it, thank you for replying to my question.
Nice video👍🏽
absolutely.
Not a refuge for sure. Cant run machines on refuge. Im guessin its the spot dave genz went to last year and caught big gills at.
Great fishing. Fish look a bit lean tho.
Love that area. Was that a public or private body of water?
What oz jigs were you guys using for those VMC fly jigs?
Goin to northern ks in a few days!
How many fishing license do you buy a year?
If there such thing as a whole state liscen then probably he got it
Need to come to colorado.
Wohoo!
Was this one of the refuge lakes or private?
no snowmobiles or atvs at refuge
Wonder if that would of been a shallow water bite situation where fishing with lead or plastic would of out shined tungsten?
We tried both. Fish wouldn't even approach plastics of any kind. They were fussy!

why no shanty?
On a side note and fun fact my channel photo is my Bullwhip with a 5lb late ice bass it tamed! The Bullwhip can handle much more then just panfish!
How about another St Croix sturgeon episode?
Season isn't open.

How is the new auger
Loving it. Cuts fast and huge weight savings.

We've discontinued our current hoodie. It won't be made available again this season. We have a new hoodie that will be available in about a month.
@@InDepthOutdoorsTV O.K. cant wait to get 1. Make sure ya'all have plenty of all sizes. Me Andy fishin buds cant wait to get our hands on some I.D.O. gear over here in Michigan.
There will be plenty to go around, all sizes. Thanks for watching!
The fish in that lake are contaminated with mercury, according to the NE Department of Environmental Quality.
Wyoming maybe one day?
We love first time destinations. Any recommendations on bodies of water we need to look into?
Lake Hattie for sure!!!
Keyhole and Glendo are both good bets. Walleye, perch, and crappie are in those lakes. Huge rainbows outside of Laramie at Hattie is also a good option.
If your up for a more isolated location in Wyoming, Seminoe and Pathfinder are some decent bodies of water. Walleyes and large Trout.
Jealous seeing you guys not trudging through knee deep snow, and drilling through 2 ft of ice.
It was a much needed change of pace.
Lake kegonsha wi you should try
