#jigging

We haven't had good ice this year, AGAIN. So I finally got my motor running to go walleye fishing on the Saginaw River. We didn't catch any fish (just bait) lol... But had a great time fishing with my wife, Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed, I tried not to make it too boring. Hit that LIKE and SUBSCRIBE it really helps my channel. Tight Lines. 🎣 #4k

Open water fishing in February, boom!

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Yes sir! I don’t take my boat out often enough. Always good time when I do

[@randymiller1604]

Good video man

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Thank you

Seems strange with this weather this time of year. Out fishing open water in February 😎

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Doesn’t happen very often, it’s nice when it does, it was a beautiful day on the water, I do miss ice fishing though

[@chuckmasonfishingmichigan]

makes sense, cold water, slower presentation...it works

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

It was definitely slow, I’ll try again this weekend

[@JohnHolliday1911]

That’s a good looking reel! Be careful in the future hauling in monsters like that, don’t want to see you flip your boat!

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

My bestest friend in the whole wide world gave me this reel, I’ll definitely be careful with it

[@ricomidence2063]

Slow works best for me. Later in April a faster jig works better but I still prefer a slower presentation and I can feel the jig as it drops so when they thump u really know

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that technique tomorrow

[@Moondog9322]

I didn't see water coming out to indicate that your water pump was working. Hopefully, it was. :)

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

I’ll have to check because what I didn’t show in the video is my motor stop working and I had to use my trolling motor the last 500 yards 🤦‍♂️ thank you for noticing that and bringing it to my attention

[@Moondog9322]

@@MichiganOutdoorsman1977 I didn't see your wife, either. lol

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

@@Moondog9322 she doesn’t really like to be on camera much, I did somehow get a selfie of us with the ship in the background

[@dinsixiengmay9781]

Did u limited out? Good times 👍, usually we are farther the river in the Saginaw area

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Not exactly lol. Only caught 2 dinks, I’ll try again this weekend

[@tankdog03ify]

Why anchor with a trolling motor, vertical jig & drift

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

My motor wasn’t running property so I needed to stay close to our dock but I usually set anchor so I don’t have to worry about where I’m drifting off too, lots of other boats around

[@tankdog03ify]

Reeling them to the tip, not good, u can't flip them then

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Thanks

[@richstrang4184]

Your audio has not working when you were showing the rebuild an painting of your boat , the out come was good but was disappointed on what products you used because loss of audio

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

I’ll check it out and if I have too, I’ll make another video, thanks for letting me know
