Nice video enjoyed the LS views.

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Thanks Danny, glad you enjoyed it. It's a bit of work, but I enjoy putting it together and sharing with other fishermen!

lucky enough to have a day with little wind

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

I usually won’t go on a windy day - makes it not fun!😊

[@donsscooters]

Nice Job again. No shaky video, good sound, lots of good fishing. Keep 'em coming.

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I plan to hit Millwood soon. Stay tuned!👍

[@chauncyjordan6207]

Absolutely love your videos. Great footage and you are working that livescope and boat control. What type of reels are you using on your rods and are those ACC rods?

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Hey Chauncy! Thanks for watching! Those reels are Eagle Claw ice fishing reels. They work great for Livescoping. Yes, those are ACC Crappie stix rods. I like the 13 ft rods. I have them in the standard jigging rod, and I also have them in the “rear seat” model to give a little more reach.

@@jamiedumasoutdoors ok awesome and thanks. I will check them out. Do you do any guiding in Arkansas?

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

@@chauncyjordan6207 I haven’t personally guided anyone fishing yet. But there are a couple of guides I know of. I will message you.🎣

Very nice video. I'll bet that's a lot of fun. Those are beauties. Are you concerned that the proliferation of this technology will result in over harvesting the resource? Thanks for the nice video.

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Hey Scott! it is definitely a lot of fun. The technology is so new, and the number of people becoming efficient with it I think could definitely have an impact. Different states and lakes have already taken some initiatives to make some specific regulation changes to protect the resources. Lake Erling in South Arkansas implemented a 10 inch minimum last year, and D’arbonne in North Louisiana made a 7 maximum number allowable to keep over 12”. Both states are using different approaches, but ARE doing something. I suppose it remains to be seen how this technology impacts the fisheries, but i do expect to see more slot/length regulations, as well as maybe reduced creel limits in the future…

Nice catches! Couple of questions. How hard is that lake to run as far as boat roads and what unit are you using?

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Hey Keith - not hard to run at all. The lanes are marked pretty good. I will say that some of the markers are spaced out pretty far. First time I’d take it easy and follow a boat if possible. I’m running a GPS map 1222 with the lvs 32. Thanks for watching!

[@LaYarddog]

Great video, especially because I'm in it. Lol. Was great to meet you as well. I ended up with 23 before heading home. Hope to see you out there again.

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

That’s a good days catch! I saw you catch a couple nice ones after we talked! I’m sure I’ll see you out there again!

[@motijorider]

Nice video I really enjoyed it. Is this the Lake Erling located kind of close to Lewisville Arkansas?

[@jamiedumasoutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, lake erling is about 30 minutes due south of Lewisville.
