- Today we're jigging looking for walleye and trout! I'll be running the flexi-jig with a white artificial twister tail and Antonio is using a T-Turn bait rig with live minnows.
When is the right time to use a twister tail, or a thumper tail, or a straight tail like what's found on a finesse fish? We talk about jigging tips such as that, and what colour is right for the right time.

I love how happy this guy is inkinda wanna go on a fishing trip with him as a guide could learn alot
Multi-species outings are always fun, especially when you catch beauties like that. Really enjoyed your video.
So glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks for taking the time to write to us, and for letting us know :) Thumbs up
These videos are so indirectly funny. I love them
This is real fishing, I'm sold on big white plastics for spring w.eye. fishing.😎
Brand new shiny boat and the same ole broken net LoL i love it!
LOL :) :) :)
I love seeing fishermen actually keep there fish to eat, although I definitely appreciate the guys who release all there eater fish too. Cool video of some nice table fare.
Thanks for the great feedback :) Sometimes we catch and release and other time we catch and keep - like you, we also appreciate that everyone is different and nice to see both avenues being followed
Those are some beautiful TROOT!
Great bag of fish in the new boat!
...i can only hope this trend continues :)
That flexi jig works great !!!!! I’ve used it a lot
I wanna go fishing on your new boat too! another great video!
Thanks Dorian....so glad you enjoyed this e[sidoe :)
Thundermist Lures I have learned a lot from you and this channel! I love it!
Well..i really enjoyed watching that...thanks
The best fishing channel u just dont skip the video cuz even the talking is entertaining
Thanks for such great feedback :)
What a great day on the water! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed this episode Johnny and thanks for writing in :)
Nice to see someone actually keep a steelhead. I've seen so many dead steelies caught in cold weather that don't make it. Might as well enjoy them instead of seeing coyote's and martins eating dead one's on the shore.
Wow, u still have snow! Love the mixed catch all in one lure.
....got a snow storm in April....happens from time to time - didn;t seen to affect the fishing though :)
I really enjoyed watching all of your videos, greetings from Iraq.
So glad you are enjoying our videos MrDenverman1 and thanks for tuning in in Iraq :)
Thank you so much for another great video, Ivo! Congrats to Antonio for catching his first walleye on your new boat! I hope one day to go fishing with you. :)
Thanks for the great feedback Simon and so glad you are enjoying our episodes :)
Love fishing in that river. I haven't been in a couple of years and I miss it.
Hi Nick - great to hear from you again and sounds like you're due for a trip to the river :)
Where is this river at? Is it the detroit river?
Glad to see your back out on the water. Great video keep up the good work!
Hi Robert....I'm also so glad to be back out and spending time in my new boat :)
I'm shocked you were hatless. happy to see you guys back on the open water for walleyes keep it up. much love from Ontario Canada!! ( Lake Nippising)
Great to hear from you up on Lake Nippising Mike.....great fishing up there!
Awesome video!!!! What a Great mix of fish, Steelhead and Walleyes are my favorite :)
....you have 2 excellent favorites :)
I couldn't be further away from y'all, I love down in Texas, but boy does that look like fun. One of these days I hope to go up to Canada and even travel to Alaska for some Salmon runs and general trout fishing. Looks amazing.
Great to hear from you in Texas and hope ou are able to make it to Canada someday - I think you'll love it and Alaska would also be super exciting :)
Carson Thomas fucking sLaYeR brother \m/

We really had a great day out there :)
Very nice Ivo,That is a very nice Rainbow it will make a nice supper,The Walleye are very nice size,the biggest Walleye I ever caught was very small maybe 14 inches..
Nice to hear from your Clarence and there is nothing wrong with a 14-inch walleye...they're all nice :)
Great video!
Awesome video
I love fishing pics
Love the mixed bag!
Always a great time when you can get a mixed bag of such nice fish :)
Nice mixed bag of fish!
Always a great time when you can get a mixed bag of fish, on the same rig :)
you should have your own show very professional
Great video, thanks so much
As usual... another great video!! Keep it up!!
Thanks for the great feedback - so glad you enjoyed this epsidoe :)
Talk about a great day on te water. An awesome multi-species day D:
Thanks for writing in....it was an awesome day on the water :)
White is hard ta keep carp from biting , carp good fighters but rather have walleye ! Green green is great !
Another great video guys
Thanks Mackem boys......so glad you enjoyed this episode :)
"Those are Gannets Diving and they will reveal where the Shad is....but I can't tell where your exactly at I know that's Niagara st." !!!
Great video! New sub here. I am just going to start working through your archives. Learning a whole new way to fish in southern Sask. Lakes, not as easy as the north. Good job again, regards.
Great to hear from you in southern Saskatchewan and great to have you as one of our new subscribers :) :) :)
Holy cow what a triple play of species and size! New sub! Great vid. Do you have vids on how to work the jigs?
So glad you enjoyed this episode and great to have you on board as a subscriber :) You fish the Flexi Jig the exact same way you would any regular jig, but the difference is you get a fantastic, positive hook set
The birds were applauding you on the first fish
You could tighten that drag a bit
Thanks for the feedback :)
I think that was a joke lol
Ok Black in summer, White in Spring, What color for fall?
...Back to white or grey :)
First cast ! And lots o Great fish !
It's always a good sign when you catch a nice fish on your first cast :) almost caught me off guard as I didn't expect it
any advice for a small boat on an inland lake with perch? My 8-year-old son and I want to try the jigging spoon sting nose? what size line and type should we use?
if you are fishing 20 feet or less, suggest using the 3/16 or 1/4 oz Stingnose - size 3/8 or 1/2 oz if deeper...use the silver on sunny days/clear water or the gold in stained water or cloudy days :)
Good video!!!
Nice fish boys!
Thanks Cheri....sure had a great time out there :)
Awesome boat !!!!!
...thanks....I'm liking it :)
If he takes $1 for each time he said my NEW BOAT he can be reach soon
Gash!!!
Another fish in my new boat!!
Lol!
Great video! Thanks!
...so glad you enjoyed this episode Kyle and hope you have many great days on the water :)
Another great video. Nice trout, when you are using the flexi-jig today are you anchored or drifting. Thanks for another entertaining show. Mike.
Hi Mike....in this particular episode, we were anchored :)
I live in Northern Ontario on the north shore of lake superior. I could really taste the difference in fish caught from southern Ontario and our clean pristine cold water lakes up here. Pickerel for example had a muddy strong taste from fish caught down there. Here the meat is firmer and almost has a sweet taste no strong gamey taste at all. The same with our Lake trout from inland lakes. We enjoyed the action down there but would not eat the fish after our first encounter. Too much pollution and of course warmer waters.
amazing!
Is it just me or does he just roast Antonio at the start of the video 😂
Hi Ivo. Very nice video. I dont know if it possible to take a inflatable boat with 6hp to that spot ??
...the current is a factor and could be dangerous.....
I assume based on the snow in the background that it's fairly cold? How do you keep your hands warm fishing this time of year?
I do not use anything except gloves once in a while...but there are "hot hands warmers" on the market that you could use :)
Lol you guys always fish the same spot! Is it just a big Eddie? How deep is it? Awesome video!
There's a back current there ande a nice current edge....goes down to about 18 -20 feet deep :)
Why doesn't Antonio help you land the trout?
not sure :)
He’s holding the camera I assume, can’t multi task 😂😂😂
Antonio is a real asshole ehh
Hey guys I read the regulation a bit. Fish t turn rigs in Erie Pa but I believe they are illegal in N.Y. State because the weight hangs below the hook?
....most live bait rigs have the sinker below the hook...it's perfectly fine and legal :)
Nice job again
Thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed this episode :)
I know this is for walleye and trout but I do a lot of carp fishing in Northern California and I was wondering if you would use a bite and run reel or a standard spinning reel for more versatility? A bit off topic but I do like to run my t-turn with corn and was just curious.
Hi Jacob - a bait feeder reel is great to use when using a Bolt Rig or a sliding rig, however, the standard spinning reel can easily be used in those cases as well, by just loosening up on your drag :) So the standard reel will work just well for you and stay tuned as we plan on doing some carp fishing soon :)
Thank you! Appreciate the advice :)
I am new to walleye fishing and fish in a small lake in Virginia with a small walleye population and I was wondering if you have any lure suggestions. The lake has a maximum depth of 25 feet. Thanks
.....you can troll with viper spoons using divers or by bottom bouncing ( th-cam.com/video/svM-bY6o-fc/w-d-xo.html) ( th-cam.com/video/klcTqcG3NBU/w-d-xo.html) or you can flat line the American Smelt crank bait which will dive to 20 ft....anohter very effective way is to vertically jig with the Stingnose Jigging Spoon, or of course, use the Flexi Jig as well.....there's also a walleye bait rig (Rig #2A)....lots of choices for walleye - good luck out there :)
What rod and reel combo do you use? It’s a great setup
That was actually one of my saltwater combo's....salt striker rod and reel :)
What knot do you use to connect the fluoro leader to the jig? I've always had trouble tying with fluoro, but I generally have used smaller test line which may be a reason. Anyways, great vid as always, Ivo!
Hi Jake - my go-to knot for tying fluoro to braid is the uni knot - here's one of our original (older) videos, showing how easy this knot is to tie :) It's very effective th-cam.com/video/7CmRxGNnxHo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Ivo. I'll give it a try!
thats steelhead was absolutely massive... fuckin brute
what knot do you guys use for a braid to fluro/mono connection?
Hi Daven - we like to use the uni-knot...very effective and simple to use :) th-cam.com/video/7CmRxGNnxHo/w-d-xo.html
Caught some nice Walleye on your Gold 1/2 oz. Stingnose Jigs along this stretch over the past few weeks. I ordered and used 1oz. Flexi-Jigs however the hooks look way too big. Used 3/4 oz. other brands and did well. I like the design of the Flexi-Jig just felt the hook on the 1 oz. was too big for this fishing application. What size are you using in the river? Thanks so much; Dave.
...totally agree - the 1 oz would be too big in that case...we used 1/2 oz Flexi Jig and now, we have 3/4 oz Flexi Jigs available (new item) and that would be even better :)
Thanks! Love your lures and terminal tackle BTW.@@thundermistlures
Does Santonio have a boat rainbows nice where's your hat get to tartar sauce ready
What good are walleye?
One of the best tasting freshwater fish is what they're good for
Definitely keeps
Thanks for writing in Garry and good luck on the water :)
What do u recomend for shore crappie fishing
A bobber and live minnows work well, but so do small jigs and small spinners :) Good luck out there
should I use a baitcaster or a spinning reel for pike?
Both will work well for you...the bait caster is designed to fish with thicker diameter line and the spinning reels are designed to fish with thinner diameter lines :)
i don't know what to use to catch trout in the summer bait wise and lure wise help please
try fly fishing in the summer or if you are trolling in Lake Erie, a SP or SP Viper Spoon rigged with a live night crawler would be ideal :)
What is the shore fishing like there? Also what size flexi jig is that? Thanks Ivo
Hi James.....the whole shoreline is very fishable - just be prepared to fish in strong currents :) I was using a 1/2 oz Flexi Jig, in order to ensure I maintained bottom contact
How long twister tail?
Hi Ivo, will the walleye return to this spot in the fall or do you have to wait till spring.
...they typically return in the fall :)
I was wondering if you guys could make your vids longer because the content is great?
Thanks for such great feedback Daven :)
👍🏻
Thanks!
Im having a hard time rigging zman plastics on the flexi jig. The elaztech material just bounces back on the shaft where the wire wraps around. Any tips for zman plastic rigging on the flexi jig?
yes....I can help....the keeper spring on the shaft will grip your plastic and will not let go - it's actually much better than the traditional keeper - the key is once you get to the keeper spring, "thread" your plastic onto it by twisting it around and you will notice a huge difference :)
Thundermist Lures Thanks, I'll thread it on and try it out
thanks ivo....you make good quality videos.....catfish 58..........
Appreciate the great feedback John - thank you and glad you are enjoying our videos :)
Ivo, what setup are you using? Length action etc.
I like a 6 1/2 ft or 7 ft. medium action, 1 pc rod :)
Can you fish from shore there ?
you can but there is a very strong current....you can fish close to there by going to the parking lot beside Nicholls Marine in Fort Erie - free parking and easy access to the shoreline and the water is much more fishable there - good luck :)
great job! where can I pick up a jig-spring like that? I live in upstate ny, would a bass pro Carrie those?
Bass Pro does not carry them yet, and if you can not find them at your local store, you can always get them online from Thundermist Lure Company or other places like tackledirect.com :)
Thundermist Lures thanks for the info man be safe and tight lines man! great video!
Is there snow up there??? No snow where I am I live by port
yes....we had a snow storm in April :)
The flexy jig? never heard of em how are they?
...they work great...the hook-sets are amazing and you will land more fish :)
Oh Yeah
I’d be a lot more comfortable watching this if you guys were wearing Mustang PFD’s in your new boat....what’s the water temp that day? 10C? You not only have a responsibility to your viewers to set a good example, but also to your friends and family to return home at night with a pulse! Otherwise, a very good instructional video on jigging presentation to active fish. Thanks, and God bless.
I was wearing a floater suit...the whole suit is a PFD :)
Full survival suit yet your saying to wear a specific PFD... Intelligent.
Have you ever fished at niawanda park?
....not yet :)
What reel and pole are you using?
Quantum Energy rod and the reel was actually one of my salt water strikers :)
I cant believe a rainbow took that jig. lol, youve got luck like Ive never seen before
Gordon Mohr hits very common for this to happen in larger rivers such as the Niagara. It mimics what they're eating. Definitely wouldn't work in the creek
Ive fished the Niagara for years , mostly with size 12,14 hooks. never seen anyone land a rainbow on a monster jig hook like that.
Hi Gordon - glad you enjoyed this episode and jigging for rainbows can be very effective at times :)
Mmmm.. walleye..
...definitely one of the better eating freshwater fish :)
Is that the Peace Bridge behind you?
Hi Alex....yes it is :)
Are they safe to eat just wondering I know some are jot
The walleye from the upper Niagara and Lake Erie are safe to eat - check your guide to eating sport fish for more detailed info :)
What lb. braid are you using?
10 lb :)
Hey is that a new boat ⛵️?
th-cam.com/video/-Fgtt4ZVzKk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1Jka65d9eW8/w-d-xo.html
Walleye is the state fish of Minnesota. Fun fact for you all.
Now that's a great fact :) Excellent fish to have as the state fish
nice!!!!!!!
Thanks....glad you enjoyed this episode and good luck on the water :)
Is that snow I see? In May!!!?
.....April :)
