[@walleyeatsag]

Thanks for the report Justin! When i go out fishing i always bring our a plastic shopping bag and pick up whatever i see on the ice!

[@RonWalters-f1d]

We always pick up after people all summer long too ,we always try to even take fishing string

[@golfishuntim]

Amen on picking up trash. Keep reminding people. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@JCDropshot]

We gotta do our part to keep it clean.

Thanks justin

Hey you said what needed to be said. . Kudos to you for stressing it . Everyone do the right thing and keep it clean .🎣

[@SmokeJensen]

Thank you for the report! A special thank you for bringing to attention that throwing trash on the ice is not how a sportsman should be acting.

[@kenkopytek8231]

Love it

[@FriedFinsOutdoors]

Awesome report as always man! Pick up your trash people, don’t be slobs! 😎🎣

[@jeffpops5290]

Bring out what you bring in!

[@jasonb.9953]

Thanks for the report Justin. I was thinking about heading to the metro park on Thursday. 10000000000% agree with picking up your trash anywhere you go!! I’m always leaving areas I visit with more than I left with. It’s not that hard to respect the outdoors!!

[@rileyverellen0429]

Thank you for the report and all the updates. My pops was out at metro today and he told me he saw a guy out there with a snowmobile. I made my way up m29 over the past weekend cabana blue and the raft was packed.

[@RonMalkiewicz]

I love your reports very educational. I'm very up-to-date. I live in the area. I respect you a 100%. You make some of the other reports look stupid

[@cameronbehnke7017]

Preach brotha 1:02 it’s ridiculous.

[@stevenjoa708]

Awesome video! Covered all the spots I was thinking about like hmm maybe I could ice fish here! maybe we’ll bump into eachother out there appreciate the reminding everyone to be courteous bring out what you bring in!

[@alanschwark3098]

Without in front of selfish this weekend almost all the barracks anywhere from 3:00 to a couple spots I hit was about an inch and a half 2 in couple spots was four be very careful to go out there there is two pockets open water in front of the canals towards the barracks in the corner

[@edwardlabelle6545]

I'm 71 years old and have been fishing on anchor bay since I was a teen . So many times going on the ice, I would find small piles of small perch thrown on the ice, dead because someone didn't want to put them back in the hole for fear they would come back and steal their bait! That makes me very angry and discussed. People like that shouldn't have the right to have a fishing license.😮😢

[@matthewdevuyst1576]

My top complaint is the slobs followed closely by the guys that have to set up right on top of you. I always pick up trash on my way in and out. It's my little token of appreciation to Mother Nature😊

[@Randy_Lahey0623]

@@matthewdevuyst1576 hearing someone’s auger 15 feet away is my favorite part about being on the ice

[@JCDropshot]

@Randy_Lahey0623 well almost everyone is running electric these days so it’s not as bad as it was in the old two-stroke days

Ice fishing etiquette !

Always be mindful of others!

[@SALMONSLAYER06]

been machines on the salt river . generally the high traffic areas get the most litter . heavily populated area heavily advertised area. fish on

[@kevingunnery5470]

Was that R2D2 from Star Wars trying to communicate with you at the 20 second mark LOL 😆

[@JCDropshot]

Yup got a text message 🤣

[@outdoorswithwoodswoman8467]

Buy this guy a coffee he puts alot into his reports....be good sportsman and help your seniors ,,help one another get safely off the ice...,,use ur spud,,pick up trash ,,,and have fun and catch fish

[@feelmyola]

I have the same gripe as you, whatever you bring in, take out with you. There's already enough things polluting our waters, us outdoorsmen should be the last people to trash something we love.

[@betthat313]

It was a guy at the day sail on a sled yesterday.

[@YTSparty]

When I was a kid growing up in Anchor Bay, seems like every other winter there was some clown with his truck on a block of floating ice and a rescue copter coming to rescue him. A few of them made national news. Haven't seen that recently.

[@MIFish96]

Biggest pet peeve is people leaving trash as you said, and people setting up right on top of you

[@Michael-h2n4m]

Thanks for all the videos. Asides from Fairhaven, which area has the best access/parking for bringing kids?

[@JCDropshot]

Metro has the most places to park

[@Preview87]

mitchell's bay is 9 inches seen multiple atvs

[@bobseibert4741]

Spear holes , mostly around FairHaven area. One video I saw spearing pike. They shove the blocks UNDER The ice. I commented about marking their hole . He responded saying they pull the blocks back into the open hole ( I believe that when I see it) and put SNOW AROUND THE OPENING. Bad If A Kid Falls In, HOW ABOUT US SENIOR CITIZENS .

[@jameshankins344]

Thank you for calling out the litter bugs in this world it's the worst thing that they could be doing taking their trash out and leaving it on the ice

[@gummo3873]

Sorry, but my sled will definitely be out there this weekend but ive been doing this my whole life, and am not stupid or trying or die. I just have toi much gear to haul out on my own. Sprained an ankle the last time i tried that lol.

[@austinpolley2628]

@@gummo3873 try taking less gear wit ya all ya need is a spud bucket and one rod to catch fish no need to hall 200 pounds of shat you wont use out with you

[@Charles-q1n]

Pick up garbage floating on the lake all Summer, this year’s top goods, a pink bass pro hat, a bag of 4” inch pimpdaddy plastics. Many balloons. Tons of shell casings on the beach at Metro in the fall.

[@JCDropshot]

That's some interesting stuff people have lost.

[@hunterdaniels225]

Hey Justin could you possibly do the salt river on your next video? I know you normally don't do it but I just want your thoughts if if it's safe or not

[@JCDropshot]

I driver over it on 23 mile today and I see. Machine tracks. I have seen a few guys on the marines off of Jefferson

[@chief2485]

We all need to hold each other accountable. If you see something wrong, speak up.

[@ScottHillOutdoors]

It's a shame it's always been this way with people leaving their trash..... it actually seems to be getting worse every season. The trash is ALWAYS lighter that when you carried it out, so why is it so freaking hard to pick up and carry off to a trash can. I fished Fair Haven Sunday, and the ice was great 4-6 inches of hard ice.....

[@RonWalters-f1d]

My grand daughter even picks up trash from people fishing,empty worm boxes,bottles cans,hooks,you name it we pick it up,trash belongs in the trash

[@gummo3873]

It's always the damn rookies that leave there 💩 out on the ice, real fisherman don't do that shit 😒

[@robertjessen224]

Maybe we need to keep an eye on other fisherman like we do our tip ups. Just to make sure they take their trash off the ice.

[@ashleykaiser3698]

[@jaysonwendorf1521]

Anyone know anything about genos??

[@JCDropshot]

The new owners are not opening it up to access. You’re gonna have to make your way from the Crocker boat launch to that area or down from Metro.

[@toddk8086]

I couldn't agree with you more about the trash and junk on the ice AND BELLOW!!!!!!!! If you can't clean up after yourself, you have no right to be on the ice. Too many people take our freshwater lakes for granite. Go someplace that doesn't have what we do in our own back yards, the largest freshwater supply in the world and some of the best fishing too. Be respectful. I have been ice fishing for almost 60 years on St Clair and would like to think that my kids and grandkids will have the same opportunities in the next 60 years

[@MrBillbuster]

Dirt bags leave trash! Just because your mom is also your aunt doesn't mean you gotta act like it, pick your trash up.

[@everydaylivingwithernie6532]

Hey bro I hate that stuff too so don't leave your trash on the ice we are too old for that crap

[@donaldrobbins252]

I don't need a fish that bad.

[@TDO5969]

Garbage and cigarette butts

[@rogerbolman2718]

I hate the guy who has to cut a oversized hole

[@jakeford8030]

People who leave there smoked cigs on the ice

[@EdwardAkin-s3o]

If anyone wants to go out there a litter, then please do take a machine out dare
