Ice Fishing Trout Without a Fishfinder or Flasher 

This is my first year going out ice fishing, and even though I've fished all my life via the shore or kayak, I never really realized how much in the dark I am trying this kind of fishing out. This video was a great help man.

That thumbnail is absolutely amazing

Yep, sitting on a white, plastic bucket! Even though we have made huge advances in technology with electronic fish finders, battery powered augers, graphite rods, super thin braid and fluorocarbon lines, multitudes of lure designs, super warm clothing, and GoPro cameras, you still managed to stick with the best tradition by using a bucket for your seat. Nicely done!

Just the video i was looking for! That last rainbow was beautiful, thanks for the tips!

So I watched this video yesterday and I went ice fishing here in prescott arizona and it helped me to catch 4 nice trout in less than 2 hrs! Keep up the great content!

Thank you my friend! Been enjoying your videos and vicariously participating in the fishing trips that not able to go to as often as I'd like. Great info and tips !

i don't have any electronics but fish the same reservoirs around me all the time. using what i know from fishing open water i've never been skunked ice fishing. i use the same method you do to find depth just strip off one foot at a time till it's on bottom. when i'm with my kids i set a rod or two up for suspended fish other wise just 15-25 feet of water a few reels off the bottom seems to do the trick.

I used to ice fish in the UP and this season was the first year I ice fished in SE Michigan. I’m extremely salty because most lakes only had 2-3 good ice fishing days due to record warm temperatures (20 degrees above average and constant 50 degree days). I really hope to see average temperatures next year so I can fish

Thank for showing all, that you do not need flasher or sonars to catch fish.

HaHaHa dude, your thumbnail is priceless! Nice work, keep it up

Interesting and informative as usual. Tech is great, but sometimes using your intuition and inherent knowledge is more fun.

Going old school! Woohoo!!

Nice vid!

You seem to set the hook really hard? Ive been having problems with rainbows getting off, should i set the hook harder above my head like you do?

Anybody notice his dead stick at 12:15 ?

Anyone else hear the Chukars going crazy in the background?

12:00 tfw your buddy doesn't know he has another fish on his dead stick. 😱

What is that bait/lure/jig you are using? Used to use a little tiny yellow jug with an orange circle and a white dot on the top with a little orange powerbait original scent marshmallow thing a few years back and now i can’t locate the trout on the same lake in the same spot anymore.

thats always how i do it

Could you explain what no bait means? Are you talking soft plastics?

what is the song beginning at 8:00 ?

Have you ever heard of the company called frostbite I heard they have good tungsten jigs good rattle bait as well as spoons. Dinner Bell, Tantrum ??

dude your one was gettin hit like crazy i wonder how much that happens to me and i dont notice lol

What lake?

Respect 🇺🇦

Maaaan are you RU-vid fishermen are addicted to technology. I live in an ice fishing heavy area and I have never met anyone who uses fancy electronics. My uncle taught me ice fishing and he uses observation, knowledge and cheap homemade wooden rigs and fills his quota each year. Fishing isn't as expensive and complicated as RU-vidrs make it seem ppl, get out there and go fish, thats how you learn where fish are.
