Not sure why backing in to far then pulling back out helps!

I do it every time now. Big difference!

Nicely done buddy

Man that looks fun I really should get out there and try to find some

Jim what's your fav hook for that mold?

Nice old skool craftsman robogrips

Go out with Jim and make memories guys &gals! You won’t be disappointed! An keep,your rod tip high when you jiggin’😂😂😂. Right Capt?

Love the nostalgia Jim!

Hey Jim! Glad to here you had a great season

Thought you were not supposed to use lead anymore yo

🤘

He's never heard of Cutco scissors before 😅😅

Smallmouth bass, Appleton, WI

All I can hit is pike in the Georgian Bay area :( I'm a new Fisher went with my little brother and grandpa who are really good n know all the local spots. I fished for 3 days bout 14 hours a day n got skunked only got one 2foot pike no bass or anything. I used non-pheromone jigs. Bright yellow or white. Any tips from the pros? Is it too late in the season?

Jam it in the bottom of the cork handle works too.

Thank you

Some people should practice what they preach !!!!!!

I agree when someone parks right beside you it’s super frustrating, and I’m just throwing this out there not because I know the situation you were in but in Lake Erie depending on the species your targeting there are many rock piles and specific spot where the fish are hiding out so there are cases where I think we need to have some grace because the desired areas are not always huge areas, again not saying that’s your situation I tend to agree it drives me nuts but there’s times I sorta get it

#1 will always be musy, the excitement of casting an almost 1lb bait all day to finally hook up is hard to beat but walleye is a very close second. Fishin the wisconsin river in portage country

My grandpas old poles, the rods are ridiculous and the reels suck but learned how to fish with those poles catchin walleye on the bank at a really remote spot on the wisconsin river that my grandpa fished for 40 years.

Great video captain! Love the info

I’m not much of a fisherman but your videos always teach me something new!

Great information!!!

jim, you hit the nail on the head yet again. Experience shines through here. i like to run the smallest beads i can in between my hooks. i've noticed less break offs, but i have no real evidence that the beads in between really did anything. My theory when you try to drill a hard ball it deflects, teeth being the drill and the beads being the balls which protect the line.

Perfection, nothing better than being alone

Thanks

Where there’s grass there’s bass

Back your truck wheels in to salt water a few times no a good idea think about that

Make sure power loading is allowed at the ramp you’re using.

What speed do you troll at?

Hi Jim,,,yes I sure do have things I couldnt part with. Our late Father Robert Rioux,fished many times in support of The Original Flying Fishermen, Gadabot Gattis... We are lucky enough to have some of the original gear.. I also have a tackle box of his last lures on the boat every time out. We don’t use it,,,, but it’s there!😢. He was an Oneida Lake OG! Miss the old crab!🙂. Hope all is well, see you in the spring!

So when you were cork fishing for largemouth back in the day, what did you use underneath the bobber?

Why don't you cry about it...

Does this man have his own youtube channel? He is so full of knowledge and I could watch him all day!

Just curious what a Mok is?

I would rather buy the Honda v8!

Michigan favorite fish is small mouth.

My buddy saw this hack a few years back and we decided to run a comparison one day fishing the St Lawrence. Identical heads, baits, line, and both fished off the front deck. No discernable difference initially but when we were able to fish each bait simultaneously for more than 30 minutes the "primed" bait had less bites. One day obviously doesn't prove anything but my buddy agreed that it wasn't effective and he stopped stretching them that day.

Get a can of paint and mark your spot.

Remember Mr twister on display/demo in a fish bowl on the counter of Twin Fair.

If its perch season youll get that. Nothing wrong. You get a string of boats in a line ontop the perch.

Power loading can get you a nice fat fine. So just get a little speed to get up the first time

Probably good for lakes but I’m not letting my truck touch the salt water if I can help it.

When I go fishing with people and they say fish on anytime the rod tip bends I just die inside

Walleye is the only freshwater fish I’ll eat. I’ve tried most of them

He’s like 250 yards away, come on bro.

"Fish on" from a bass or small boat fishermen. I'm not sure how or when this expression migrated from salt water charters and big boats to bass fishermen. It goes back well before my time and was yelled from the mate to captain letting him know they were hooked up. Was a necessity because of the distance between the helm and the stern deck and the decibel level of the diesel motors. The first time I heard it on a lake a bass fisherman was solo and yelling something . Thought he was in distress at first. I was too far away to hear exactly what he yelled but realized it a few fish later when I was about 100 yards away.

Those midges don’t bother me!! (cringe).

great idea. thanks.

great shot.
