Early Ice Crappies | How to FIND and CATCH Basin Crappie W/ Garmin Livescope

[@aaronmeyer9431]

The overlay of the map with where you are drilling on the ice with the drone coverage is legit. Thanks for being such a great educator!

[@tjsguideservice]

I was hoping you guys would like that! Thanks for the comments, as always, Aaron! 👊

[@adhall777]

Your videos are so good and are only getting better. The educational aspect is phenomenal and the maps, overlays, and different techniques you are working in are top notch. Can’t thank you enough!

[@tjsguideservice]

Really appreciate the kind words and the comment! We’ve got more content on the way!

[@tomvandenelzen556]

Great video overlays. Really helps us visual learners. You took this to the next level. Just enough fish catching video to show us some of the how to fish them to go along with the how to pattern them.

[@tjsguideservice]

Very helpful comment, Tom! I appreciate the feedback very much! I’m also a visual learner, so I prefer this way!

[@jacoboconnor6988]

I genuinely think your content is slept on. You are by far the best "educator" on here compared to others. You can tell you enjoy teaching almost as much as you love angling. I think this is a great place, especially for beginners who may not know what to look for when fishing and when it comes to structure and charts. Well done sir. 🎉

[@tjsguideservice]

I really appreciate those kind words, Jacob! I don’t take those lightly! Thanks for taking the time to comment! 👊

[@Amadour103]

Omg how have I never seen someone add animations over the maps like that. Awesome work dude, this is some high quality content thank you!

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the kind words! Still a lot to improve on but we are getting there! 👊

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Just an overall incredible video, well laid out , easy to understand, fun to watch, thanks bud!

[@tjsguideservice]

They are no Joe Holland giants, but they will work! When are we getting you back over to this neck of the woods?

[@leeschroeder4150]

Video editing is top notch.

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment! Took some time, so glad you enjoyed! 👊

[@fishhead680]

Way to go on the overlay of the Garmin! You’re a master! Love the crappie videos - thanks

[@fishhead680]

Wouldn’t complain if you added a depth range on the left

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment! 👊

[@tjsguideservice]

Good to know! The only problem with including the depth is that I have to zoom out more and some of the fish are tougher to pick up on the screen

[@darrinbriggs318]

Impressive use of technology! Lover the drone footage and overlays. The fish drive was cool too. Awesome work.

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Darrin! 👊

[@benk9105]

I bought a FFS this year and going out to try to do the same thing you just did this weekend for crappies. I think your demonstration will help me a lot. Thanks!

[@tjsguideservice]

That’s the goal right there! Glad you found it helpful and good luck with the new unit! 👊

[@GillsNReelsFishing]

Great video TJ. Liked the drone shot with your grid layout on the map. Cool to see the strategy and how much the crappie are moving early season. Very informative thank you‼️👍

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment, as always! I was hoping you guys would like that drone shot! Been an idea in my head for a while. Honestly I like the visual for myself! 👊

[@hunterarentz6506]

This is a very well put together video! Love how educational and thank you for correlating drone footage to the chart!

[@tjsguideservice]

Hey thanks so much for the kind words, Hunter! Glad you enjoyed and found it helpful! 👊

[@neilrobinson1991]

Fantastic innovation with the map overlay and the arial footage. Thanks for all the great info on tactics and location per usual compared to the other 90% of content out there. Arguably the best.

[@tjsguideservice]

Really appreciate the kind words, Neil! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Means more than you know! 👊

[@brandonhousel266]

Great video! I like the overlays, very helpful. Thank you.

[@tjsguideservice]

Glad you enjoyed, Brandon! Thanks for the comment! 👊

[@ericcollins1932]

TJ your channel is Awesome! Keep the variety videos coming! Would love to see how you winter target Lake trout, Eelpout, Sunfish, ect..

[@tjsguideservice]

Really appreciate you taking the time to comment, Eric! That is noted! I will for sure have some laker and burbot vids coming this winter. Was supposed to be laker fishing last weekend, but ice wasn’t quite ready!

[@brookinsfishing]

You keep adding more editing magic every year. It’s looking good!

[@tjsguideservice]

Hey thanks, Jeremy! More time consuming for sure, but the final product is worth it! Hope you’re getting some good ice!

[@Smith04032]

I enjoy seeing other species, other than walleye as a Mainer I get sick of seeing all the videos of walleye probably because we don’t have them… i do really enjoy the live scope aspects and tips as well. I’m looking into getting one soon

[@fishhead680]

Jeff?

[@tjsguideservice]

Perfect. Thanks for the insight! More to come! 👊 i recommend getting one if you can afford it! Such a great tool!

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Tj !!! Awsome you mentioned the uncut angling deal ! Is that not crazy !? Literally jus changed everything we thought we knew ! Your video awsome job jus me being able to watch those craps react when you were drilling an how much impact noise has on ice overall for every species …. Let’s make this ice season short an sweet aye ? Already daydreaming about this spring I cannot Wait

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks, Justin!! I have mixed feelings on his video. While he does make some very good points, we still don’t know if those fish are surviving if they go down to bottom. I would love to see the research on that before we come to any conclusions. My fear is that bud video will cause people to fish in deeper water thinking there are no consequences and have it subsequently hurt our fisheries. Just my 2 cents! Great for the discussion though for sure! I always find it so interesting piecing together the puzzle of how these fish move. So cool! While I still have some fun ice trips planned, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t ready for summer!

[@craigwavra3495]

Interesting video on how fish move around the basin!! Enjoy your videos and advice!!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks, Craig! I’ve learned a lot about fish patterns and movements with the livescope. Just trying to pass it along!

[@tchadoutdoors]

Solid video man! I love the edits you didn’t very entertaining! Also fun to see the schools of crappie in the live scope like that!

[@tjsguideservice]

My man! Appreciate the comment! Was a long edit but worth it! Hope all is well down south! 😉

[@SmokeJensen]

Love the overlay map with the gridding spread

[@tjsguideservice]

Perfect. I was hoping people would enjoy that! Appreciate the comment! 👊

[@jaysonackerson6467]

Love the crappie footage tj! They have a special place in my heart, after catfish of course😉

[@tjsguideservice]

Jayson! Thanks for the comment! 👊 ha! Well after my experience catfishing with you, I can easily see why! Maybe we will have to do a repeat?

[@jaysonackerson6467]

Absolutely!

[@tjsguideservice]

@@jaysonackerson6467 we will be in touch!

[@benjaminYTChannel]

Been missing aaron weibes content, this is a sweet content to watch in its place!

[@tjsguideservice]

You and me both man! Aaron is the GOAT and makes incredible content. If I can help fill a small portion of that void, I am glad to do so! 👊 appreciate the comment!

[@sampowell9061]

Wondering what the powered by amped outdoors was did you get sponsored. Sweet video!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks a bunch, Sam! I have been running their batteries for the last few years and they have been awesome, so we have started working together!

[@teamextremefishing]

Great stuff as always! That's what ends up happening when I grid out an area, they move off! They sure are spooky early in the year!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks man! I need to get over and watch you River vid!! These fish are so dang spooky!

[@evanmalison4489]

Great video! Very educational!🎣

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment, Evan! That’s my goal 👊

[@waynehoyne18]

Great show

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate you taking the time to comment, Wayne! Glad you enjoyed.

[@chevtow]

Sweet video. I’m 100% new to livescope so this is very helpful. Smashing the subscribe for you :)

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment and sub, Russ! You’re going to love your livescope. I have a lot of livescope content that might be very helpful for you!

[@LttlBelowAverage]

When you’re jigging are you switching to downview? Do you ever have trouble finding your jig? And how is your picture so clear!!?

[@tjsguideservice]

I kept it in forward view the whole time. I just zoomed my range in as they got closer! Every once in a while I have a tricky time with my jig, but usually it’s because my transducer isn’t level with the snow. I’ll share a link to my settings! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jIZahnhM2ijKcsi=P-NoHtxQVPvuwxuj

[@robertgilchrist9372]

What is your best ice fishing settings for pan optics?

[@tjsguideservice]

This should be what you’re looking for! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jIZahnhM2ijKcsi=GCVMAqVQPywDH-ZV

[@the_quest_outdoors10]

how do you keep the muskies away! I run into this often, they just won't bite and if you scan around you will see a musky or 2 or 3 waiting for an easy meal

[@tjsguideservice]

In the majority of the lakes I fish, we don’t have Muskies, but I could see that being a problem! Pike definitely do the same thing!

[@karricklw]

Great video and content. Which head unit are u using and what do u estimate the functional range of mirroring ls on ur ipad?

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment! This is the gpsmap 8610 and it seemed like it was roughly 20 feet or so!

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Cool video

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks, Troy! Been able to find any safe ice yet?

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Only got out to red, so far just be for the vehicle restrictions did good came home with 2 limits went with my daughter boyfriend got 12 eyes came home with are 8. Since then, my truck has broken down. On the +side, have a trip booked for winnipeg early March to chase those big green backs can't wait

[@jeffmartin5699]

What kind of fish finder are u using

[@tjsguideservice]

This is the Garmin livescope!

[@johnkaiser1293]

Where are you fishing?

[@tjsguideservice]

Park Rapids area

[@kevinforer9746]

Bro that was a walleye not a northern btw turn your gain down a bit and you will actually see some big ones if you can keep it out of the mouth of those baby’s you were catching you will get the big ones

[@chrisoseland4643]

how much adderall is this guy on?

[@tjsguideservice]

Not enough 😂
