Does Winter Rain Hurt?

[@timothyeldridge7845]

Your spoiling us with all these videos 😊Another great video thank you!! Congratulations on that big beautiful Fisher.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, It was a great one for me!

[@mikelaporte5171]

Wow - running a watercross race in the intro there!

[@DanGates-h9m]

Hi Joe received my hole hopper gloves the other day and wore them blowing snow today an for the first time my hands didn't sweat an kept warm 😊

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Great to hear!

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Always put your sleigh hitch pins in upside down when hooking up the sleigh you will loose a lot less pins , sounds odd and weird but it works, would need the pins that have hole in and put a safety clip in , as I never had much luck with the pins like the one you put in ,

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I'll look into that. Sounds like a great idea.

[@terrymayberry]

Joe, I recently rediscovered your channel. I've really enjoyed following along with you on your trap line and your offgrid lifestyle. Thanks for what you do and be safe out there.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Appreciate that! Stay safe and warm out there.

[@MegaMadTrapper]

Hi Joe, wow you got a shit ton of rain nothing worse this time of year. Great video. Nice Dog Fisher. Cheers MT

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks! Yeah, it was a rough one for sure. We ended up getting some decent snow and rain again! Brutal

[@ShawnNewhook]

Joe great job. You said in one of your videos it takes patience and time and payed for that fisher

[@JoeHollandFishing]

So true, Thank you.

[@KenC49]

Hey Joe! Too bad you couldn’t get a hitch made and it work kinda like a universal joint. Something you can pull with but can work at all different angles, something like a trailer ball works but be inline. You guys in Maine are having the same type of winter as us here in Nova Scotia. Which makes sense where we’re almost neighbours.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Ya it’s been rough, We're not the only ones

[@KenC49]

@ I literally could mow my lawn right now. But I refuse to. lol

[@raymondbrowning663]

Joe it only takes one time being remote and by yourself ,take care!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Absolutely, Thanks.

[@paulkrizan487]

Joe look into a pintle hitch. I use one in alaska for towing sled.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

thanks.

[@keithmcallister4917]

What a beautiful fisher cat !

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you very much!

[@ThePatriots92]

Kind of a sketchy start but that fisher was a beaut! Great videos as always, thanks for the education and entertainment.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I’m glad you enjoyed it, It’s a wild ride out there!

[@FunnyBallet-fq8sx]

Good job.man

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you.

[@walter4637]

I wish we could be friends, haha. I live your content (as long as it isn't a million shorts). We're hot and heavy into the hardwater season here in northern MN, so I really enjoy watching your fishing adventures! Did trapping take the place of fishing for you? Maybe the ice isn't ready there? Anyway, it's good to be back, and I've been really enjoying learning about running a trap line! Thank you!

[@walter4637]

*LOVE your content. Auto-correct = 🤬 = 👹

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you. No I will be ice fishing soon, We are just starting to get solid here now.

[@jamesaigler285]

Thank the viewers for good advice. Another nice video

[@JoeHollandFishing]

You bet

[@Timr45_70]

Challenging weather and roads ! Trappers find a way !

[@JoeHollandFishing]

So true, thanks.

[@FunnyBallet-fq8sx]

You can do it your tuff

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you.

[@pwarren1516]

End of season already? Isn't January/February when they have the best fur?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Dec 31 is season end for all but beaver in maine. They get prime early based on daylight amount.

[@billsbaitshop]

Joe my hubby said use trap wire on that hitch. Ontario Canada

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Trap wire is a great idea I use it on my truck often!

[@DylanDuhow]

How’s the ice looking up there?! We are finally getting our first shot at ice these next few weeks hope to get out soon!!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

We’ve just started to get solid here now.

[@katherinebragg9166]

Baling twine, bubblegum and a roll of duct tape for your hitch Joe, lol

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Trapping wire too!

[@katherinebragg9166]

@@JoeHollandFishing LOL yall know how to do it

[@JohnTroyer-f4f]

Do you have a limit on Marten and fisher here in Michigan we can catch two and have ten days to catch them

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Yes we are allowed 25 of each per trapper. We can trap with trapping partners here in Maine.

[@lylefrost1996]

have Kenny make a couple out of stainless. I did that and never broke another one

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Good idea!

[@johnlang4970]

low 20's in ny city,no snow

[@JoeHollandFishing]

wow

[@Rkss-c2z]

You canot using snares I think? To protect the lynx?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Correct. It went away even before all the lynx foolishness. A biologist pulled some bs on the trapping association with a lie and got them banned even around the deer yards.

[@lee_t_outside6471]

Joe you should have Kenny weld a piece of flat stock on top and bottom then red till the pin hole and it would be solid he’s an amazing welder

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Truth!

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Need to invest in a atv or side by side Joe for the cabin /trapline , a canam outlander 6x6 be a weapon for you there , but event just a atv would help for conditions like that ,

[@JoeHollandFishing]

They are not allowed in the North maine Woods.

[@Saskatchewan1984]

@@JoeHollandFishingwell that sucks , but makes since as never seen atv tracks in all your videos ,

[@billc3405]

What about in Argo

[@Saskatchewan1984]

@ it’s a all terrain vehicle so I’d assume falls under same law , snowmobiles likely okay cause your on snow and not wrecking the earth off road , I assume is why they have that law in main that don’t allow atvs ,

[@JoeHollandFishing]

@@Saskatchewan1984 has to have tracks for NMW

[@mach1john]

Brandon’s father Stephen could make those hitches better and stronger! Best welder in these parts!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

True that.

[@Christopher_Tobias]

You need to switch to a J hook with a pintle hitch on your sled. I’d also look at investing in a UHMW sled.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks

[@keithmcallister4917]

Joe I would take it to your welder friend he could fix that one and probably make another one that would be better than a one you could buy

[@gregmatczak4004]

Joe, do you have an emergency GPS Tracker?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

No I didn't get one yet. Kinda old school with that stuff. Might get one someday.

[@ernieferguson9513]

It can save your life in the remote areas you go. Just thinking of you Joe P.S Dudley is a nut case!

[@TerryWade-xe8os]

I was gonna say someone could likely fabricate something way stronger for ya.

Agreed

[@jaspatters1]

I always use these. Can still use it when one side is broke off. Temp, but keeps it together when in a bad spot. images.thdstatic.com/productImages/dd286c53-2179-41ab-b7cc-581a30dcf315/svn/everbilt-hitch-accessories-868578-64_600.jpg
