First Ice Walleye Tips + NEW Lake Breakdown

[@NickLindner]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s too out of shape to casually pull a fish house out into the ice. 😆

[@tjsguideservice]

We need to start training in the off season!

[@MontanaWalleyeAngler]

Thanks for the perspective at the end there TJ. I’ve been making some videos since April and it is so true how many times you just strike out and it doesn’t come together but I’m really enjoying the process. Learning a ton along the way and appreciate all the work you put in brother! Keep it up and if you put the same energy into being a dad you do in fishing you’re gonna be an amazing dad my friend!

[@tjsguideservice]

Anybody that says they haven’t been there is lying! 😂 Heck yeah man keep grinding! I’ll have to check some of your videos out in between diaper changes 😂

[@jjwalleyeguy22]

I came across your channel about a year or so ago, and boy, am I glad I did. Your videos are always super informative, and you break everything down to make it easy to understand. Keep up the great work!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you found the channel as well! Best of luck this year!

[@adhall777]

My biggest walleye was 29. 5 ice fishing with homemade spinning rigs with shiner. In Massachusetts !!!!!!

[@tjsguideservice]

That’s a beauty no matter where you are. Congrats on the great dish!

[@franclerch225]

Great information again. Thank you. I'm looking forward to hearing about coming my way 1 day. So far, today, we only have 5 to 7 inches of ice.

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet! Best of luck this winter!! 👊

Appreciate the information tips brother!

[@craigwavra3495]

Good video with a lot of good tips!! Really going to love seeing that camera as a part of your video!! Smitty sled is a good one, love mine!!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks, Craig! It’s gonna be super nice for videos! I need to break down and finally make a smitty sled!

[@craigwavra3495]

It really does pull easy and breaks down for storage

[@brandonhousel266]

Thanks for the tips, TJ!

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet! Thanks for the comment, Brandon!

[@BarDownBaits]

Great video

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment! 👊

[@shelbydocken9182]

Great video, when the walleye was on you stuck most of the rod in the water, I assume that was to prevent the line from breaking. What lb line to you normally use?

[@tjsguideservice]

A lot of it was to prevent the line from getting caught on the ice. It can dig grooves into the side of the ice and get stuck and make it even more challenging to get in.

[@tjsguideservice]

I am usually using 8-10lb braid

[@patrickethier6190]

Does it have to be an aquaview to use with Garmin or could you use Marcum camera?

[@tjsguideservice]

I’m not aware of a marcum equivalent. Anything with hdmi capabilities will work, but they usually have a screen. This one is made specifically for this situation with mounts and everything

[@kevinorszula2748]

Could u please share how u connected camera to livescope Thanks Kevin

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s the new Aqua Vu micro revolution! Plugs in to any hdmi compatible unit

[@christureson2673]

Hey Tj my question is what map app do you use. I haven’t heard you talk about it but I’m having trouble finding an accurate map for finding structure weed edges or whatever I’m looking for that day. Any tips appreciated

[@tjsguideservice]

Depends on the location, but I find my Humminbird maps in my lakemaster chip are the best for my area. The one boat network app has the same Humminbird mapping

[@usmarine0352]

If you use an Okuma Baitfeeder with the Finnicky Fooler it’ll pail out line without the risk of you losing your rod and reel.

[@tjsguideservice]

I tried that for a while, but even on their lightest setting I felt like fish were feeling them and spitting the bait. I prefer to have an open bail. Still no risk of losing your rod and reel and can freely spool line!

[@usmarine0352]

@@tjsguideservice Interesting, I believe you can adjust the tension on them. I've never felt I lost a fish too it.

[@KylerWeishaar-fk1ne]

Hey TJ, how do you get that color on the Livescope?

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s actually the blue color palette and I edit it out after

[@tml4life100]

I'm confused. What unit are you using you can hook up your aquaview to it as well as your live scope at the same time? Is that one of the gpsmap models? I've just got an echomap so this is new to me

[@tjsguideservice]

It is a gpsmap model. Has to be an hdmi compatible unit

[@fishingonthe_lo]

So do you need a 8610 for aqua view to connect ?

[@tjsguideservice]

Not necessarily! Any hdmi compatible unit will work!

[@AdamDizzy996]

What colour scheme do you use for your livescope

[@AdamDizzy996]

I love the black with red and green

[@tjsguideservice]

This is actually the blue color palette with the blue edited out. I like the look of it bettern

[@AdamDizzy996]

@@tjsguideservice as in u edited it out for the video? Or do u actually see this green and red when u are fishing?

[@tjsguideservice]

@ I edit it out for the video

[@Justin_Mooney11]

TJAY !!! I hear you man Im deckin out the mini sled this year I can’t wait to get out there !!! ( check out the fishinggeeks latest video if you get a chance ! ) c ya on the next 1 !

[@tjsguideservice]

Yeah buddy!! There video is on my watch list! Good luck this ice season!

[@Justin_Mooney11]

@ o no way ? So these guys obviously have way way more walleyes up there then we do down here right ? Like the further north you go the more plentiful they are to a certain point ? ( you still smacked some good ones at dark I’ll stay out later next time for sure )
