James, I just want to say how much I appreciate you guys taking the time to address the issue you addressed at the beginning of the show. It is the responsibility of all anglers to help train up our young anglers on how to be safe on the ice.
Awesome video guys!!! I live in the lakes are here in west central MN and we have quite a few shallower lakes like that that have great walkable ice still. 6 to 8"
I think you said that there are some nice walleyes in that lake, it would have been cool if you guys set up some iFishPros for them! Awesome episode non the less!
Thank you for some very good instruction on how & when to use the spud bar properly. My spud bar looks to be lighter than yours ; so I adjust incrementally.
Jealous. I'm still waiting on safe ice. The temps have been good, but the wind has finally died down enough to let the ice start taking over. Moving fast now, maybe I'll be fishing that ice ina week or two. Cant wait.

Why run the transducer so far down on early ice? You guys must have been fishing 4-6 inches. I can't question the results, just curious about the deep transducer.
teambrotherdads.com sorry about that last link. This is their homepage. They fish the ice circuit here in NY and have won several events. Probably see some new stuff soon. Once black lake ices up. Tight lines, be safe.
For the ice safety portion you guys should of have also brought up that you should pack an extra set of clothes to put in the sled when walking more than a mile and half or more so you can get warm/dry so hypothermia doesn't set it
Safe ice just formed on our reservoirs in Wyoming. I’m marking panfish when I’m on the lake but no matter what I do or what bait/lure I try, none of them seem to want to take anything I have. Anybody have any tips for really picky fish in the early season?
Curious guys. What SIZE hooks were you using on the tungsten flies? (PS......I'm old. Tell me MM size......and I still won't know, lol. 8? 10? Thanks, God Bless and thanks for another great show. ALMOST ICE here. A couple more weeks.
Thanks. I have a tough time going below size ten......and having any faith. Old school guy. The VMC tungsten flies come in 10, 12, 14.....thanks! www.fishusa.com/product/VMC-Tungsten-Fly-Jigs
I’m in western Wisconsin and was on a lake I punched a few holes near the launch and had 13” and I was walking but there was tire tracks in the snow I drilled a few spots on the other side of the lake that were 4-5”. That would not have been a good outcome. Stay safe and have fun
Angler Outdoors still new to ice fishing but i usually fish my jigs tipped with minnow head/ parts or spikes, and the spikes usually outperform minnows
You are right about the Striker Ice bibs by themselves working to keep you afloat, but keep in mind you'll go head down as your legs go up. Better to wear them both together.
Kade VonEye if your using a phone you’ll have to use a browser like safari or google. Search TH-cam. You’ll have to open it in a new tab if you have the TH-cam app installed on your phone and just lookup the episode and wallah it works.
Too bad you guys don't accept anything except from your sponsors; I could hook you up with some custom ice flies (not JIGS called flies, but actual flies) to try. Bait or no bait; your choice. You would be the only kids on the block to have them.
+Cole Mercer For a small donation, I could make that happen. Go to my channel, click "about", and leave me a personal message as to what you want, and I'll get back with you.
I assume the lake association did it cooperation with the DNR. The cribs in question are plentiful and way to big / heavy to have been done without a lot of manpower.
year by year, more and more CM between shows... C'mon man, show actual fishing than talk too much... I rather see more LX9 and GPS monitors than you. So people can see how fishes act under water and can see which part of lakes you are fishing at. Less and less educational video now.
Still don't get why you run your transducer cord so long, think it's just a formed habit/motion people have a come accustomed to doing especially when fighting a fish in. I know some will argue you need to have the transducer below the bottom of the ice, but I never have, never will as long as my transducer is in the water. Think about it, are people mounting their transducer's on their boats with the thought it needs to be in placement at a certain level as they do when using their electronics ice fishing? Whether I get a little reflection clutter on my Flasher in say the first few feet markings, I'm so use to it after all these year's and unless it's last ice and the fish are just below the ice, who care's? In that case if they're just below the ice, you don't need to being using your electronic's to catch them. If angler's still like the concept of having long lead's on their transducer's, maybe get one of those device's made that work of a remote to wind up your cord/transducer so you don't have to constantly pull your unit/cord/transducer out of the way when fighting a fish and your line wrapping around your cord. I'm actually thinking of adding one to my Box because big guts and bending over all the time isn't part of my exercise routine when ice fishing, lol.

Great intro James, I think you expressed the feelings of the MN ice community perfectly. Well done.
Yes it's sad to lose anyone through the ice, prayers an thoughts out to the family's , Be safe every one, And IDO nice crappies.
Your guys videos are great, please never stop making videos! Good luck fishing!

Spencer Harwood good luck pal

Nice show guys, thank you.
Ughhh come on ice!! Come to Ontario!!
William Bannister wow no ice in Ontario?
Nothing safe yet
I'm up in Ottawa. We're dyin' up here. Couple small lakes are frozen up for some crazies to fish, but nothing great and super safe just yet
What part of Ottawa? I'm in Manotick.
William Bannister im out in Orleans. Lookin at Petrie everyday. Lookin for Muskrat Lake to freeze fast!
You should come ice fishing in lacrosse Wisconsin this ice fishing season
Nice slabs thanks for the show. I fish Ironwood and Iron Mountain and upper Michigan a lot all year. I think I know what lake you are on.
You guys should come do a northern pike show in the Northeastern SD area, maybe Thompson or South Dry Lake.
Fishing the vmc tungsten flies?
Yup
Are you fishing at Lost Lake in Ironwood?
you guys make my day for school Do more videos

Great channel! But that was really sad what happened up on red lake.
Why run the transducer so far down on early ice? You guys must have been fishing 4-6 inches. I can't question the results, just curious about the deep transducer.
Mike Gass I run mine deep like that over and around structure to get a better and closer view of the edge. That's the only thing I can think of
You guys should do a session in NY adirondacks lakes and large ponds everywhere and they all produce. Wish we had guys like you in NY

Back in business boys, yes.
Great video
Thanks Robert!
Have you guys ever fished Fish Trap Lake? South of brainered about 40 minutes...
Your gonna get your wish there’s a cold front coming through this week ❄️

Steve Sr IDK the size either. But those flies are the VMC tungsten flies you could find at your local dealers!! I think they're only one size
Thanks. I have a tough time going below size ten......and having any faith. Old school guy. The VMC tungsten flies come in 10, 12, 14.....thanks! www.fishusa.com/product/VMC-Tungsten-Fly-Jigs

Happy New Year, Mitch!
Is that the mil lacs jiffy bar? (Your spud) I’ve had that one for 17 years.
It is a Rapala spud.
If we get enough ice you should do a central indiana strip pit pan fish episode.
What lb test would you recommend for panfish through the ice?
Hey James, I see your using 3lb mono. Do you prefer mono. over flurocarbin? I've been using 2lb flurocarbin.
Fly line tipped 8x 1.7lb like hair
Yess!! About time!!!
Why aren't you guys using the rt-9 in your episodes?
Was this episode recent or from last year?
Brand of spikes you are wearing?
I was pounding that western Wisconsin lakes yesterday bits hot but no monster crappie. 36.5” pike tho
Anyone know if waxies actually work better than small strips of minnow meat to tip a jig, or is it just preference?
Angler Outdoors still new to ice fishing but i usually fish my jigs tipped with minnow head/ parts or spikes, and the spikes usually outperform minnows
Would you ever come to Brit MN to fish little sand lake
Which tucr rod are you using James?
dateacher303 ... he said it at about 18:00, they are both using bullwhips.
What's the name of the Lake ?
Randy B lake x
what are you using for bait?
Nick Smith spikes AKA eurolarva
You are right about the Striker Ice bibs by themselves working to keep you afloat, but keep in mind you'll go head down as your legs go up. Better to wear them both together.
These guys are good jut like uncut angling
What Lake?
That would be called a sac-o-lait where I'm from sir.
Did anybody figure out what was going on with S12 EP1
Kade VonEye if your using a phone you’ll have to use a browser like safari or google. Search TH-cam. You’ll have to open it in a new tab if you have the TH-cam app installed on your phone and just lookup the episode and wallah it works.
Bret N Butter thank you so much
Kade VonEye no problem
Yay this one works...
Finally!
i rode my motorcycle yesterday... might ride it today too...mpls, mn... supposed to be mid 50' s today
Like to see anglers release fish...
How are you trout fish in the full moon
Too bad you guys don't accept anything except from your sponsors; I could hook you up with some custom ice flies (not JIGS called flies, but actual flies) to try. Bait or no bait; your choice. You would be the only kids on the block to have them.
I’ll take some
There dedicated to there sponsors, you have to appreciate that.
+Cole Mercer For a small donation, I could make that happen. Go to my channel, click "about", and leave me a personal message as to what you want, and I'll get back with you.
+Levi Jillson I assume that you're actually talking about InDepthOutdoors, and they do make some good videos.
Surprised you found cribs. It is against Michigan state law to sink stuff in the lake.
I assume the lake association did it cooperation with the DNR. The cribs in question are plentiful and way to big / heavy to have been done without a lot of manpower.

Make a video without the electronics.... :-)
