Hahaha dude that’s my family cottage in the background! We’ve got Bass, Pike, Perch, Walleye

[@AshfishinYT-]

Seems like you have a lot of bass lol

[@livinfortheoutdoors]

Every video is so GOOD! keep up the great work Jay and family! keep catchin them fish!!

[@JaySiemens]

THANK YOU!

[@micahjohnson6599]

I really love your videos! If there was one thing I would add is just showing each and every lure you switch to that catches a fish, just because I want to learn more and know what is working. Again thank you for the amazing content!

[@gus5918]

I am constantly envious of Jay's gear, he always has the best stuff and knows how to use it!

[@DaStateOfHockey]

Gotta enjoy these days with no bugs! Love the kayak fishin!

[@TimWood-o5q]

"It is always nice to pack a paddle, just in case you need one." As you go kayaking. Wow. Love your shows.

[@patrickgibson2828]

Love this video I'm moving at the end of the month from Midwestern Ontario to northeastern Ontario near larder lake area Ive been going on fishing trips every year up there. And I always so I'd love e to love up there. Well at the end of the month my dream comes true. And this video is exactly what I plain on doing is fish the back lakes

[@keenanmoore264]

A video on the railway bass stocking would be awesome. Stay slayin' Jay!

[@mengkhang1037]

I bought a PDL120 after your review of the kayak. It is hard to tip. I got caught out in a storm with white caps with very little worries, I also had pleasure boats flying past me and waves hitting the broad side of the kayak. I'm 250 lbs and never thought I was going to tip. I also have 2inch seat raisers to make it a little more tippy too. Great kayak.

[@happy_guy8273]

There's a couple spots in Ontario. Southern square bass season is open all year round. I like going there in the spring time. It's like fishing for bass in a barrel.

[@lancewalker1]

Hey Jay! keep up the great work! enjoying your videos. Im coming up for our annual Canada Fishing adventure again this summer, can't wait to catch fish, cast after cast. Would love to meet you sometime, we ran into one of your friends last year when we stayed at a hotel the night before we left to make our great adventure into the middle of nowhere- but you know what, thats where the fish are! anyways, keep fishin- BIG FAN

[@Jp19557]

Great video! I always look forward to yours. In my opinion, yours are the best. At my age, my fishing are now just memories and dreams. PLEASE keep them coming.

[@LakeVermilionDreams]

I was going to comment on the motored kayak but if I'm honest with myself I'm just jealous! Handling a rod and a paddle with only two arms makes for some tricky fishing! So enjoy your yak setup and keep making cool videos, Jay!

[@proteusxavier9477]

My favourite kinds of lakes to fish! Secret ones. 😉

[@Dj.fishing084]

Daiwa tatula xt 7 ft med-heavy with an 8.1.1 tatula 100 is my Swiss army knife for bass. And the st. Croix bass x 6'8" med-light with a piscifun viper x 2000 is my do it all for walleye as well as my finesse bass rod and live bait rod for crappie and trout 😁

[@MontanaWalleyeAngler]

So cool the backcountry opportunities you guys have! I fished Dore Lake a few years back and it was phenomenal! I need to get back to Canada soon!

[@tomlipinski4482]

My tackle bag was looking pretty sad. I picked the Heavy Hauler for my birthday present. I need to move my boxes over to it yet and get it ready for the boat. Great video Jay!

[@JaySiemens]

Nice! Thanks for watching

[@evanhammond7305]

Someone left a huge mess there. Some people are just horrible. Great vid as always Jay

[@rippinglipsadventures]

You don't stand on water all year up there in the "Great White North." 🤣The process of doing all that and filming it all is epic, Jay! At least your arms were spared of a ton of paddling.

[@Boondock84]

I'd definitely love to see a film on the stocking of bass by rail car and it's benefits and impacts on the region.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

Its ok to have a few smallmouth lakes, but they do overwhelm some species I think. They were also stocked by some outfitters that in my opinion ruined some beautiful pristine trout and walleye lakes. I do not need to catch damn bass everywhere.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice ! Instantly missing Ice Fishing .........

[@306viczko5]

Started out kayaking fish..love it. Great vid...

[@JaySiemens]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ryanc7481]

Thought I was going to bed. Nope jay uploaded a video

[@kylenthehunter11]

Awesome Jay 🔥

[@joshiannuzzi6737]

Where can the fans get those hats Jay had on. Those hats are a must out in everyone’s boat this open water fishing season. Great video

[@Dj.fishing084]

Bro silica packs in your stowaway boxes are a game changer

[@lbangling1647]

I’ll be up there in a couple weeks to try the silver dollar area!!!

[@tallonpeters9620]

thanks jay for making this videos! keep it up 👍

[@kolbydepalmo3864]

What's up Jay!!! You should do a video catching some big spring crappies!! I'm a crappie tournament angler and wanna see some big crappies from up north!!

[@dalbert4991]

Love those Smallies

[@wickedroy]

love you jay your vids are fresh and crispy!

[@benjaminjohnsonfishing4187]

Would love to see what tripod and how you mounted it up on the bow. Great content, I really like these hidden lake videos.

[@thegreatpotatokitty8196]

i want to see this same style video on a laker lake. early season yak lakers, bound to be a good day.

[@leightonrodriguez6680]

Jerkbait also works in 85 degrees for big smallies

[@chrisgrayson3855]

Just found your site and signed on. Why not fish pickerel if in Kenora…i was there once and a staff member of a friend took me out. Man so many by noon was incredible

[@JaySiemens]

Season is closed for them currently.

[@eamonnrodgers5778]

Hey, great video! I’m in love with that first hat you had on. Where did you get it from?

[@danielpittijr6283]

Hello, Jay, Sam, and Little H!!

[@JaySiemens]

Hey!

[@Enduroboys807]

hey jay love the vids can u do more kayak fishing plzzzzz

[@placidpaddler]

not the most portagable vessel I've ever seen. Have you ever lugged it through the bush to another water body? Or with a wheel/cart set-up? The fishing only gets better the tougher it is to get to!

[@fishmonger5341]

Can you teach how to work a new lake with no livescope? or if not any recommendations?

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Opens up the year with a busted up x rap …. Small pike , small smallys jeeze j goin back n time

[@ilikedonuts4076]

@JaySiemens how do you attach the transducer pole to the kayak and still be able to turn it?

[@HookedOnUtah]

Jay, who makes your kayak, and what trolling motor do you have, and what did you use to mount your tripod to the bow

[@alexjurek6011]

If your gonna be fishing hair jigs this time of year are you going to prefer a normal jig head or something like a Google eye kalins?

[@billcurtis-ml6uc]

Hey Jay. I enjoy all the videos. Quick question what line are you using in this video? Thanks

[@WrokBindsor]

Open water 2024!

[@kaelandrewfishing]

Hey jay how much is that livescope set up you have there. I’ve been looking to grab something but for me it’s to much. Just getting your best thoughts

[@kyleransom2970]

Okay Jay where did you get that hat cause I need it

[@erikcfishing]

Love it

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks!

[@JB-TM-2023]

Hey Jay what kind of trolling motor is that? Also did you need to order a transom mount for your kayak? The one that's on mine is plastic makes me nervous to want to put anything on it lol

[@A-gk3zs]

Love your content

[@Nick-dd2xg]

I have a question, if you have live scope and you're not sure if it's a tree on the bottom, couldn't you set your livescope to landscape so that you could actually basically see a "mega 360⁰" view of the bottom?

[@williewall2049]

We used.to live right beside you in gretna I miss you 😢

[@thewildnorthnetley3054]

What's with all the garage on shore where you launched? Anyways please be aware you and your family are in my daily prayers as I have been there.

[@keslerkochis1181]

what colour jerkbaits work the best for those lakes? I go about once a year but im still not sure what colour to use for northern tea stained lakes

[@54ItalianStallion11]

What ram mount/pole combo are you using for the livescope? Thank you!

[@tonypearson9994]

Was that Chadwick?

[@trollindirty8983]

You’re the professional dude but always be trolling. Always

[@moritztzume8504]

love your videos! please visit us in Germany some day

[@evanmalison4489]

❤️🎣

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

Can anyone recommend a walleye rod that has tremendously great sensitivity for crawler Lindy rigging for feeling walleyes breath on it. I am having a hard time finding anything wonderful as the old (pre shimano) GLoomis. They just aren’t the same quality as used to be. Without going to say and NRX. What you guys use ???

[@Canada_Dominium]

Species of any 'unknown' Ontario lake: 1. Northern Pike 2. Yellow Perch 3. All of the above

[@DavinFrench-md2lk]

Where did you get your hat?

[@jer0me-g0yet]

Did you ever try float tube fishing?

[@JaySiemens]

Yup!

[@tomasbouda4419]

is it bass season there?

[@JaySiemens]

yes

[@NorthernMIangler]

Love the video! But please pick up all that garbage, ignoring it is easy but you’re an ambassador of the outdoors; your decisions influence the actions of many that see you as an inspiration.

[@timbarrett451]

What shuttle and pole are you using now?

[@JaySiemens]

www.hdinnovations.com

[@Farlane94]

where can i get that hat!?

[@grantdubridge7995]

First open water he says, we had open water most all winter here in Michigan.😥 You want to hear something really stupid? In Michigan you have to register any watercraft with just a trolling motor attached to it. Canoe, Kayak, rowboat, register as a motorboat.

[@McDonald_Farm]

Can you fish Rowan lake in canada

[@thegreatpotatokitty8196]

pretty sure its illegal to not have a paddle (or oar) on any vessel in Ontario. i think its one of those safety items C.O.'s can check for..

[@joshoggy7039]

Isn't there a rule in Ontario that all boats must have a paddle that includes kayaks?

[@rustymatykiewicz6863]

I Catch more fish that I don’t see on the graph then I can see

[@Jmason22]

That hat is unreal…..

[@MartellOutdoors]

Finally got rid of those 💩 G Loomis rods uh?

[@magmatt5254]

Bass are out of season and you are clearly fishing for them...

[@JaySiemens]

Open year round in my region
