@Abram Drake Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@alicayden9792]

I grew up 8 miles from lac qui parle lake. It is a phenomenal lake for crappies and walleyes. I have a 16” black crappie on my wall from that lake! Great video Jason!! Keep it up

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Was filmed last winter

[@alvinator5203]

What a tease......first snowfall of MN with temp in the low 20s. It’s gotta be another month before I make this happen!

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Hope you get out!

[@charliezurhorst2523]

What's that reel thing on th vexlar ? I might get one for my dad and me

[@markblix6880]

I use the rod they are using. Even summer walking the dock.

[@TheFishingNomad]

I've been watching a lot of your videos recently. Good stuff. If you had someone ice fishing for the first time and had no experience with it at all, what lake would you suggest they go to? I'm open to anywhere in the Midwest and will take your previous advice and look for a guide.

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Send us an email at [e-mail]. That way we can find out exactly what you are looking for and try and point you in the right direction. Ice fishing is incredibly fun and we are excited you are trying it!

[@ronaldshank7589]

Finally! A great video of Crappie fishin' with no, I repeat NO commercial interruptions!!! I hate being in the middle of watching a video, only to have a commercial pop up, and make me wanna turn the video off! I don't mind a commercial before the start of a video, or at the end. I hate the ones in the video! Arrrrrgh!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠!!!!!!!

ice on already huh GRANDMA i comein out lol

[@dustinbaker4328]

I Was out there this weekend with my family and we slammed the big crappies.

[@nickspicuzza5765]

What is a good brand of snow pants for ice fishing that are reasonably priced?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Ice Armor

[@brandonjordansbiggestfan3425]

What I do to help find fish since I don’t have a sonar I go to the bait shop and ask for the dead minnows and set those up on my tip ups and spread them out about 50-60 feet apart and if one flag keeps popping I set up camp at that hole and jig a live/dead minnow or other bait

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Great tip

[@CaseyBluestone-kt4xx]

I have a 10 inch auger blade my friend gave me all i need is a drill ,What size dril i need with out burn out the drill

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

A ten inch auger flighting might be too much for an electric drill. We usually use six or eight inch flightings. When we do use ten inch augers, we use gas power heads. If you do try a drill, use a brushless 24 volt or a mud mixer.

[@kouvang590]

What area do you guys launch? I been want it to make a trip out there. But don’t know where to launch

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

+Kou Vang we went off the ramp off the east side, lots of traffic.

[@wagnecha12]

He is 100% correct when he says 12 inches is average...I've told people that are only 45 minutes away about it that have never fished there and they can't believe they are that big haha. I've even caught some big ones out pulling size 6 plugs!

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@deeyaaj9148]

Planning on coming to this late lake.. where a good spot to start at on this lake since it's not that deep..

[@palmleaf1030]

I’ve been there before (14 inchers ez)

[@Brian-wq6oi]

What product is that reels up your transducer automatically for you when you push a button on your coat? That tool is really cool just like your videos. Thanks

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Called an Iceducer but the company no longer makes them.

[@Brian-wq6oi]

Do you know if anu other companies make something similar?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

@@Brian-wq6oi we are not aware of any

[@gregoryhinz2495]

What brand and weight line was used and how long was the line past the swivel

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Been using a lot of Frost 3 lb mono for crappie. Typically tie the swivel about two feet above the lure.

[@PigPatrolTV]

I’ve never wanted to ice fish so bad..

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We know the feeling. Thanks for watching

[@701overland]

what is your best suggestion for Crappie here in North Dakota?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Jamestown, Pipestem and Oahe.

[@braddavenport1540]

Is that power transducer lift a new thing??

[@lloydtullis6987]

Brad check out ez ducer. That is the machine to lift the ducer for you with the push of a button

[@braddavenport1540]

Thanks Lloyd I will!

[@qf76mnd15]

How many did you eat?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We didn't eat any on that trip but they are excellent eating.

[@codymain1803]

I would say southern Minnesota produces more crappies at least Minneapolis and down from what I’ve heard and from fishing northern Minnesota my whole life

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

What kind of rod are you using?

JM Meat Stick

Around red lake

[@davisyang3466]

Is this last year or this year?

[@Aaron-lt3hk]

Last year. Look how thick the ice is

[@davisyang3466]

I was about to say I just got done hunting there waterfowl opener no way that lake is already made ice

[@Cheesus-uy8eb]

Hasn't been cold enough , long enough to make that much ice. I'd say last year for sure.

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We filmed last year and aired in December.

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

How was the hunting @@davisyang3466

[@jimmychu187]

Duck hunt there all the time

[@ooberzoobersober]

We must be related

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

You never know?

[@bertbigfoot605]

Lac Qui Parle Is the Best in the West. unfortunately, they are an easy concentrated bite. with all the 20-30 foot Ice Shelters....with 10 holes. it doesnt take long to overfish 4 big crappies is a meal for 4......you dont need a bucket full

[@christiankwikkel4168]

JUST GRAB THE FISH... Giving me anxiety

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We gotta do that once in a while!

[@MattMohsOutdoors]

Well know the internet kills lakes and this is a prime example

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

The internet doesn't kill lakes, we kill lakes. If everybody learns some common sense and doesn't try to fill their freezer each time they get on fish, we won't have any problems.

[@ryanwilson5936]

Jason Mitchell Outdoors Exactly. There’s no need for a couple of guys to take 100 fish. They’re all so proud of it too.

[@ryanwilson5936]

skankhunt42 Cool? I’m not sure if you’re agreeing with me or living up to you’re namesake (which is awesome by the way).

[@bertbigfoot605]

whats the chances a group of people from 100+ miles away is gonna have some respect for fish populations......they come to pillage.
