I’ve been leaving comments for years for you guys to come fish Saginaw bay. So glad you made it!! Please come again some time!! Best fishing show since Infisherman!!
Saginaw bay is an awesome fishery. But definitely it needs to be respected from a safety standpoint. The ice is constantly moving and pressure cracks are always popping up. The novice ice angler needs to be wary before making the several mile trip out for the big walleyes. It also has great perch action as well! Love the episode.
As usual a great show, and the new audio is just great. Keep it up and next time maybe the big guys will be biting now that you know where to move to. It is hard to hit a home run on the first pitch. Keep swinging.
Glad you are doing better! I missed 2 weeks of ice fishing back in the beginning of January to influenza as well and it happened to be during a hot perch bite at my local pond
Great show like always! A few buddies have been out there this season out from charity island, hammered them good! I’d love to fish the bay before ice out, hopefully I’ll get to. Congrats on a nice mess of eyes!
Great show once again. Love ice fishing but looking forward to the end on March and heading to Clements barge in Genoa, Wisconsin to target jumbo pe4ch. You should shoot a show on the barge during that time
Would love to see a fishing show come to Montana. Fort Peck is a fantastic fishery well off the beaten path. I'm sure you guys could film one hell of an episode out there.
James, you confused the heck out of me when you pulled out a bait puck and pulled minnows out of that. It seems like most people up here carry their shiners in bait buckets. However, it looked like it didn't hamper your ability to catch fish; i may need to start doing that just to lighten the load. On another note, I'm glad to see you finally made it up here to Saginaw Bay.
Ben Sutton James was just fishing the heads off of shiner minnows so it doesn't really matter if they're alive or fresh dead. We were more surprised that he actually kept them in a bait puck. He usually just puts the minnows in the pouch of his hoodie and grabs them out as he needs them.
I was wondering what were the electronic/software used by James to describe the tips and place in the bay where you were fishing? Also where can i find the sponsers on your website?
TAKE NOTE, the ice on saginaw bay is GONE.. had half a dozen rescues last week.. we had a massive rain event followed by 50mph winds yesterday.. boat will be out within a week or two but DO NOT plan a ice trip here.
How do you guys get access to the spot on the spot i.d. maps? Are they only a midwest accessory. I would like to use that within my Colorado area. Is that possible?
Keith Slater the guys drill so many holes that drilling a second hole for electronics would double the amount of holes punched. It just wouldn't be efficient. If we're going to fish stationary in a house, sure, we'll punch that second hole. But when we're out bouncing from one hole to the next every couple minutes we just pull the transducer from the hole.
