[@mykitchenmytreasure6190]

Great Job Dear friend!...

[@MountainStateAngler]

My Kitchen My Treasure thank you

[@KutthroatOutdoors]

In Duluth MN we fish in little harbors and catch 20+ inch rainbows. Reminded me of that. Awesome video and look forward to watching more. Great work :) Also, love walleye. Our state fish.

[@MountainStateAngler]

Their much better over in your state. :)

[@KutthroatOutdoors]

@@MountainStateAngler By far ha. Not uncommon to catch 50-100 in a day.

[@ColoradoDuckHunter]

Need to get out there soon

[@MountainStateAngler]

Colorado Duck Hunter ASAP next winter. :)

[@lmfaoutube]

[@lmfaoutube]

[@ckfishing895]

Nice video.

[@MountainStateAngler]

CK Fishing thank you, do you ever come up north? Got to check this lake out.

[@INIDUROQUEEN]

[@MattDollaghan]

what lake is it?

[@FishTuckerMan]

Loads of fish! Well done mate!

[@MountainStateAngler]

Dom's Fishing Adventures Thanks! Never done so well with them in the last years that I started targeting them but the last two days were terrific!

[@seedsandarrowsfrontier9224]

I saw your shout out on John Ames! Staying tuned to the channel!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Enjoyed the video, I never thought about fishing at a Marina before. You have a new sub. Looking forward to watching more!

[@MountainStateAngler]

That structure is very useful when it comes to locating fish.

[@jennylucesguam]

Ice fishing looks very interesting. Why did you put them back 😀

[@jagfishing836]

Great job dude! Thats awesome

[@MountainStateAngler]

Jag Fishing check out the latest video I ended up catching a master angler white bass out of luck.

[@867goose]

always like your vids. what kind of auger and drill adaption is it??

[@MountainStateAngler]

patrick la crue it’s a mora auger 8 inch with a ryobi drill

[@867goose]

@@MountainStateAngler sweet thanks, let me know when you and paul are ready to go fishin

[@DroneMiller]

Nice fish. whats you ice depth on a average winter ?

[@MountainStateAngler]

During a normal winter it is about 26 inches in the mountains and in the metro city area probably a good 6 to 8 inches.

[@milehigh3054]

Trout love you

[@MountainStateAngler]

Bill Spahr must be and I really do love them, but when your in a warm water species lake you’re always hoping for those panfish haha. I love spring and summer specifically for trout when I go on my river fly fishing trips.

[@LostWoodsman76]

Found you on JAGS. Nicely edited videos!

[@MountainStateAngler]

Thanks a millon!

[@lmfaoutube]

Hey we went today it was packed we did good the boat dock was full so we went more south east we did good 12 trout 4 walleye to keepers and 3 croppie

[@childishkorbino9972]

lmfaoutube where is this located?

[@lmfaoutube]

@@childishkorbino9972 it was on the othere side of the docks more north give it a shot

[@justanotherbum007]

Did you purchase the ice transducer, or is that the transducer that comes with the Striker 4?

[@MountainStateAngler]

justanotherbum007 the fish finder I’m using is the Lowrance HOOK3X It comes with the transducer.

[@justanotherbum007]

I see, my bad. Thanks for the video!

[@fletcherrossi3692]

You should get a K-drill they work a lot better than what you got but are also a lot more expensive

[@MountainStateAngler]

Fletcher Rossi eventually in my new videos I have a new auger. I do not want a kdrill but I got a pistol but auger and have loved it. :D

[@alechager6014]

Good content love the action fish on!

[@MountainStateAngler]

Alec Hager thanks Alec, appreciate your feedback.

[@kalenhutcheson1155]

Hey is there still good ice on Boyd? Also is the access to the docs in the Marina open to the public?

[@MountainStateAngler]

Kalen Hutcheson hey kalen I believe there is just not close to the docks , the hot weather has caused week ice near the docks and just remember you are not suppose to fish from the docks you need to be on the ice. Only reason you see my video and me on doc I didn’t know the rule.

[@kalenhutcheson1155]

Thank you! I will probably head up there Saturday morning!

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

Man I have to give this whole ice fishing trip a try!!!! I plan on watching more of your instructional videos, give me an idea of where to start.

[@mikevang1102]

Did you make that safety cross bar for your auger to keep it from dropping into the water if it slips from the drill? If so, what are the components to making it?

[@MountainStateAngler]

Mike Vang I borrowed it from a friend. I would highly recommend a Eskimo Pistol Bit Auger for stuff like preventing a auger from falling through. He got the safety cross from eBay.

[@MountainStateAngler]

Found it!! www.ebay.com/itm/Eskimo-Ice-Auger-Adapter-for-Cordless-Drill-Ice-Fishing/171376819257?hash=item27e6dabc39:g:0akAAOSwU-pXs1Ke:sc:USPSFirstClass!98006!US!-1

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

How'd you make that auger head??

[@MountainStateAngler]

Rush Voorhis Outdoors which part? The one with the screw metal piece going through?

[@brettcarlini720]

Yea! It looks like you hooked it up to a cheap strike master auger? How did you do that?

[@brettcarlini720]

@@MountainStateAngler ?

[@MountainStateAngler]

Brett Carlini it is not my auger, I borrowed it. I purchase the great Eskimo pistol bit auger which will arrive next week and will do a review on it. The auger in the video is not a strike master, I’m not sure what brand it is. I’ll have him comment so that you guys get a better answer. I’m sorry I’m not more helpful.

[@MrLukaszcu]

It's not a cheap auger strikemaster 6" with Swedish blades it's connected via adaptor (ebay) to 18v drill

[@ethanliess4203]

is this at boyd

[@MountainStateAngler]

Ethan Liess start the video again... :p

[@andrewwisniewski2753]

Where did you get those pink tube jigs?

[@MountainStateAngler]

Andrew Wisniewski Bass pro has them.

[@andrewwisniewski2753]

Colorado Fisher great thank you

[@MountainStateAngler]

Andrew Wisniewski you’re welcome

[@Stormtroopersi4]

Are you not allowed to eat the fish from colorado lakes/rivers? I might be moving out to Colorado this year or the next, and I love trout.

[@MountainStateAngler]

You are, I just release them in my videos because I don't eat fish.

[@simplicityfarm4125]

Seen you on Pusa Studios we are in Colorado as well. We love fishing. My son just caught a walleye last weekend. Never did ice fishing before

[@MountainStateAngler]

THanks for stopping by, the most challenging thing for me was finding where they are through the ice but once finding them the fishing was easier.

[@OpportunityFishing]

Nice! Enough Ice to support me and gear? I am 6 foot 6, 240 lbs.

[@MountainStateAngler]

MaximusRonius easily will support you stay in the marina

[@brandonparsio8296]

Cringing all the way through the video watching those fish flop on the ice and then you proceeding to release them

[@MountainStateAngler]

Brandon Parsio Do you eat them? I can’t control the flop, they’ll be fine, more concerning touching the trout than anything. I don’t eat them so I will release them.

[@nathanmeurettlife6552]

The fish are fine. I'd take eyes and trout over pan fish any day

[@MountainStateAngler]

Nathan meurett life I don’t get to catch much pan fish through ice so I always get excited about it like a kid haha. But yea if you’re someone that enjoys eating them. There’s more meat on them for sure.
