super jealous you're on ice already. Ours is getting there but I can't wait to get out. That cat just wanted to snuggle your face, glad to see you got a good home for her/him.
Honestly, I’m glad to hear you struck out at the first two lakes. I only have so much time and if I go out and get skunked, I get pretty frustrated. Knowing TH-camrs don’t catch fish every time is encouraging.
You live in Michigan you need to go to tawas Michigan to the state dock or river Park in tawas . I lived there for a while and had a great time catching walleye. Got pictures of 30 inch fish.
Love the foolers! I always have at least one out. Have you ever tried running a baitfeeder reel on them? I've had good success, and use one for my deadstick in the shack as well. Keep up the good work TJ!
Should have kept the cat... would make a great fishing buddy... keep your neck Warm...LOL Decent start to ice season... Good luck in 24/25 ice season to everyone and stay safe out there... From my melting, lob-sided, was frozen igloo on the mountain in grande cache alberta D. P.s... was fishing on ice Sunday... was 7 inches and was minus 16 Celsius ... this morning it's plus 4 Celsius ... uhhhh!!! ... (fish gods were very kind to us... caught around 60 rainbow and brookies)
Do you happen to have a video out on your GoPro settings? Your footage is so clear. I’ve watched many “best gopro settings” videos, but your video quality is better than most of those ones haha. Cheers!
I have a lvs 32 and had guys tell me they scare fish away because of the sonar. Kind of curious to know if there’s any truth to it. I’ve definitely crushed some fish with my setup through the ice but it’s usually a hole hopping game
There’s he is !!!! Will the black cat be good or bad luck for the season is the question ?? I say walleyes great 1st fish for the season regardless of size right into the night too I like that give me some confidence to stay late 1 night out there
I go back and forth! I’ve seen situations where it seems like they spook and others where it doesn’t bother them! So many factors in play it’s tough to say for sure one way or another!
Is it normal for the live scope to be such a weak bottom return in shallow water? Does it always seem like the beams are so uneven in shallow water as well? Just trying to figure mine out as well, thanks!
It is on muddy bottom like that! And the beams are often uneven like that when it’s so shallow because of how they intersect later. You can somewhat adjust it, but usually something you have to live with!
There were a couple reasons. 1. I wanted to be cover a larger area. 2. The fish seemed to be spooked by a combination of the house/light/noise in the shallow water, so I wasn’t even seeing many fish around the house. It wasn’t like I was seeing a bunch of fish and they weren’t biting. Had more to do with location vs. presentation at that point.
It’s hard to say, so many factors can spook fish. I’m not saying it wasn’t the livescope, but it could have been a number of other things in that shallow of water.
@@tjsguideservice I run Lowrance lives and pros, just need to add a AT2. Is the Garmin LVS34 so much batter that you would recommend buy a stand alone Garmin for live scope v just adding the AT2?
Cat update: No houses anywhere close, but I tried to find the owner, No luck, so we found a good home for it!
😂 that black cat sure loved you!
I’m a cat whisperer 🤫
Love the video! Honestly fun to see the dead stick going off and the live scope not being a huge factor! Good stuff :)
You bet! Appreciate the feedback!! 👊
Good stuff as always TJ! Production doesn’t always need to be super polished. Capturing catches at night in freezing temps isn’t easy!
Appreciate the perspective! Every winter I’m reminded how much things don’t like cold 😂
@@tjsguideservice For sure. I don't think there's an easy solution unfortunately.
Great video, I enjoyed watching it! Thanks TJ
👍🎣🇺🇸
Appreciate the comment as always, Bill! Here’s to a good ice season!
You always produce a top quality video that is enjoyable, entertaining and educational. Your videos really have a good feel to them, and always very timely. g@@tjsguideservice
@@tjsguideservice Thx for getting back to me. I really like the tip up part of the video. Those were some great tips 👍🎣🇺🇸
super jealous you're on ice already. Ours is getting there but I can't wait to get out. That cat just wanted to snuggle your face, glad to see you got a good home for her/him.
Appreciate the sentiment, and good luck with your ice!

Most youtubers don't put fails on video
Absolutely! Especially early season when you test out some new lakes it can be a grind! Finally connecting with these felt so good!
Would people watch fishing videos where you don’t catch anything? Just curious 👀
Love it! Can’t wait to get out soon myself!❤️🎣
You bet!! Good luck, Evan!
Yeah bud, never apologize for rockin that set line. It was a good “problem” to have and enjoyed watching some solid content.
Absolutely! Something about seeing a flag pop gets the juices flowing!
Going to enjoy seeing that camera footage!! Nice job out there!! May need to check out those Foolers!!
You bet!! The coolers are great! Get tougher when it’s cold or windy for sure
Very good real content. I enjoy watching. As the season progresses please show us your snow mobile more and how you pull your sled

Here’s my snowmobile set up!
It's nice seeing guys/gals actually keep their walleyes. Guys like myself from Michigan would kill to have good walleye fishin like Minnesota
Absolutely! All about selective harvest! I love eating some fresh walleye
You live in Michigan you need to go to tawas Michigan to the state dock or river Park in tawas . I lived there for a while and had a great time catching walleye. Got pictures of 30 inch fish.
Got a picture of a 30 inch plus on my phone of a walleye I got in st Joseph Michigan off the pier.
We catch a few around my area... some decent perch to, just gotta put the hours in to find them
Love the honesty with your report.
Appreciate that! Always try my best to be honest while also giving something worthwhile to watch!
Dude, pulling that full size around is nuts LOL. I have an Otter XT hideout for early ice. To be young again like TJ 🤣
It seems to get harder every year!! 😂 gotta get my exercise somehow!
Another great video, TJ! Thank you!
Appreciate the comment, Brandon! 👊
Love the foolers! I always have at least one out. Have you ever tried running a baitfeeder reel on them? I've had good success, and use one for my deadstick in the shack as well. Keep up the good work TJ!
They are awesome! I’ve tried the bait feeder and feel like they still have too much pressure on the fish. I prefer a free spool!
That cat is awesome!
I’m not a cat person, but this one was growing in me!
Should have kept the cat... would make a great fishing buddy... keep your neck Warm...LOL
Decent start to ice season...
Good luck in 24/25 ice season to everyone and stay safe out there...
From my melting, lob-sided, was frozen igloo on the mountain in grande cache alberta D.
P.s... was fishing on ice Sunday... was 7 inches and was minus 16 Celsius ... this morning it's plus
4 Celsius ... uhhhh!!! ... (fish gods were very kind to us... caught around 60 rainbow and brookies)
You bet!! Nice work! Sounds like a fun day! You’ve got such beautiful country up there!
Lesson of the day. Lights and blabbing in shallow sketches fish out.
Precisely
That aqua-vu/livescope setup is sick!
It’s gonna be awesome this season! So convenient to use and even record!
You found weeds... I'd get snagged. Even ice fishing 😆
been there, done that! 😂😂
@ 😂😂
That cat! Hahahahaha 🐈⬛
Fun video - thanks for sharing!
I was so confused!! 😂 appreciate the comment! 👊
Good to be on the hard deck‼️👍
You better believe it! Here we go!
The cat will make biscuits for you while fishing
What general area are u fishing, just trying to get a census of how for we would have to drive from ohio
This is in north central Minnesota!
TJ-thanks-awesome video-any chance u can talk about area u chose to set up in-were u on a flat next to deep or ?
This ended up being all one big 5 foot flat pretty much everywhere. Just set up adjacent to some weeds!
Great video TJ !
Appreciate the comment! 👊
Great video TJ🙌🏻
Appreciate it, man! 👊 good luck this ice season!
Great video TJ. Glad you found some good ice! Are you attending the St Paul show this weekend?
Thank you! Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year, baby is due on Friday!!
Awesome!! Best of luck with everything!!!
Hey TJ, what is that deadstick base youre using?
It’s called a finicky fooler!
Nice job TJ! Don't know what line your using but I have frost and ice magic on my pirates. Does not freeze,comes off smooth
I believe that line is the frost, but it’s from last season (yikes) so it could be wearing down!
Like how you put what everything was that you were using on top of the screen.
Appreciate that feedback!! 👊
Do you happen to have a video out on your GoPro settings? Your footage is so clear. I’ve watched many “best gopro settings” videos, but your video quality is better than most of those ones haha. Cheers!
Dude. That's a baby black panther.
It was the coolest cat! And I’m not even a cat person!
I have a lvs 32 and had guys tell me they scare fish away because of the sonar. Kind of curious to know if there’s any truth to it. I’ve definitely crushed some fish with my setup through the ice but it’s usually a hole hopping game
I’ve heard that too and heard people swear by both sides! I have seen situations where they may be spooky and situations where they don’t care!
There’s he is !!!! Will the black cat be good or bad luck for the season is the question ?? I say walleyes great 1st fish for the season regardless of size right into the night too I like that give me some confidence to stay late 1 night out there
Justin!! I’m gonna say it’s good luck! Heck yeah buddy! Any walleyes through the ice are alright with me! Good luck this ice season! 👊
@ thank you sir appreciate that !!!
Another great video Tj! Do you believe livescope spooks walleyes? Especially ice fishing?
I go back and forth! I’ve seen situations where it seems like they spook and others where it doesn’t bother them! So many factors in play it’s tough to say for sure one way or another!
Sick video just subbed can you do smallmouth movements pick 5 random lakes winter summer movements
Any chance to add smallys to the channel
Valid, I need this
What state or is this in canada?
This is Minnesota!
Got on 4.5" last night and iced a 17, 19, 24, and some shorts. Plus a 28" channel cat. The 24", the shorts, and the cat got to live.
You bet!! That’s a heck of a night! Nice work!
Will there be an On X Fish app for iowa???
I’m not sure to be honest! I would hope so!
Is it normal for the live scope to be such a weak bottom return in shallow water? Does it always seem like the beams are so uneven in shallow water as well? Just trying to figure mine out as well, thanks!
It is on muddy bottom like that! And the beams are often uneven like that when it’s so shallow because of how they intersect later. You can somewhat adjust it, but usually something you have to live with!
Great Vid TJ. Love it !! Also never trust a cat lol
Appreciate that, Kevin! I should have known 🤦🏻♂️😂
Do you guide during ice season?
Unfortunately, I am no longer guiding!
Which camera is that?
That’s the Aqua Vu micro revolution! I just added a link to the description
What are your thoughts on OnX VS Omnia fishing?
Depends on the situation! OnX helps you find lake reports and stocking reports, while Omnia gives more weather and water temp and weed growth info!
Kitty love's you man catch it a small bluegill and give it to the kitty and friends for life.
How much to get on a good crappie bite by you. Half day and full day rates
Unfortunately, I am no longer guiding
@ take out for crappies by u at least.
What kind of flag indicator device is that?
It’s called a finicky fooler
I could have watched that cat in the shack for hours! Hahaha
Well, I have hours of footage from it! Next video! 😉
Why didn't you deadstick in the house? Seems like that was the ticket and then you could just sit there and be warm the whole time haha
There were a couple reasons. 1. I wanted to be cover a larger area. 2. The fish seemed to be spooked by a combination of the house/light/noise in the shallow water, so I wasn’t even seeing many fish around the house. It wasn’t like I was seeing a bunch of fish and they weren’t biting. Had more to do with location vs. presentation at that point.
@ definitely makes sense man, was just curious on your reasoning. Thanks for the reply! Keep up with the great content 👍🏼👍🏼
Grate video enjoyed your fun
Thanks, Troy! Good luck this winter!
It’s your light in the sled what’s spooking them
I think it’s the light/noise/possibly livescope during the night and the shadow of the house during the day!
Please tell me you kept the cat?!?!
The cat is safe! See pinned comment
Very good!
Appreciate that, Todd!
Lake full of walleyes m secret campout man.
what tip us is that
Finicky Fooler
What he said! Finicky fooler. They are great!
The cat 😅😅😅
It was cute at first…. 😂
Fishing that shallow the sonar click can scare the fish away
It’s hard to say, so many factors can spook fish. I’m not saying it wasn’t the livescope, but it could have been a number of other things in that shallow of water.
You should of kept him and take him with you when you ice fish.
More cat videos!
😂😂 sounds like my nightmare!
Love thst you tell us what rod and lure you use...subscription----engage
I usually give more in depth of a run down but too much going on in this one
Friendly Cat most likely Abandoned!
It has a good home now!
@tjsguideservice Excellent👍
So what happened to the cat ?
I tried finding the owner, but couldn’t! So now it’s off to a good home!!
Nice
Thanks, Scott! 👊
Garmin or Lowrance live scope
Livescope LVS34 is in top for sure!
This was the LVS34
@@tjsguideservice I run Lowrance lives and pros, just need to add a AT2. Is the Garmin LVS34 so much batter that you would recommend buy a stand alone Garmin for live scope v just adding the AT2?
Lawrence can't compete with garmin when it comes to live scope technology
👏🙏
the cat was hungry feed it
Might be tough to believe, but I didn’t even have my cat food along on this trip. Rookie mistake
@@tjsguideservice my cats follow me out to the barn when i change out the water in my minnow bucket. They eat every dead minnow I throw out.

5 feet? At least when you fall through, you can stand up.
Added bonus! 😂
