Great show guys! Hays Baldwin is the best! Kudos to Wayzata Bait, legendary old school bait shop. Thank you for 48 awesome years serving the western suburbs.

[@cesarluna8552]

Lived in Minnesota 15 will always go to this bait shop for minows wax worms leches the bait shop to go before hitting minnetonka beautifull memory's 😊

[@brandonelliott9871]

You have to be the best fishing KZbinr out there. Videos never disappoint, keep on keeping on Sam!

[@o0l0s0o0n]

[@sobifishing]

Thanks Bob! Hope you’re having an awesome Spring!

[@mikebriles9445]

Sad to see the bait shop go that is my go to bait shop. I live in Minnetonka.

[@ryanroeglin3353]

Love seeing these spring crappie videos! Keep up the smash fest! 🎉

[@sobifishing]

Happy Days Ryan!

[@BrianKuhl]

Another great time. That stringer is an awesome memory 👊🏼.

[@DiscGolfAceRunner]

Love love seeing you boys at my local bait shop and lake. So sad there closing😢

[@sobifishing]

We’re sad too! Tim is a great guy, so kind and helpful.

[@brianvanzile5788]

Sad they're closing! Those guys are great! Hope I can find em this week like y'all did. Sweet vid

[@sobifishing]

Fish should be pushing shallow and snappin’ this weekend! GL 👊

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video Sobi!!! Definitely looked like you all had an amazing day out on the water for sure!!! I definitely love watching the crappie videos along with the way that you deside to cook them up for that day being outdoors and catching a few!!!!!! Heck Sobi maybe you should try and buy the tackle shop and run it with the wife!!! Then you both could have fun together every day!!!!

[@sobifishing]

That would be a dream come true to run a tackle shop with Steph the Great! Thanks for the kind words J.J.

[@Marc-id9hj]

I was in there the day after this was filmed, Tim was super happy. Thank you guys and thanks to wayzata bait

[@briantix7693]

Gonna miss Wayzata Bait! And love your video, guys seem fun to fish with! For those worried about overfishing the lake the bays that Ice fisheman camp on all winter are overfished but this year has a 11 in average! Lets the big females full of eggs go and all will be well.

[@michaelschnoor7594]

Just waxed a couple this morning in a float. Water Temps are already into the 50 in the north metro small bays.

[@livinforthelord]

Another BANGER Sobi! Keep up the fantastic content! I really love your channel! Fish on buddy 🎣 🎣

[@sobifishing]

Thank you so much! Happy Days and Happy Spring to you/ your family!

[@livinforthelord]

@@sobifishing thanks Sobi! Would love to meet you sometime! I live in WI.

[@trevormorris9787]

Great video. I remember last year's video where you were kayaking among the ice for crappies. Nothing beats being back in the boat. I have been going to Wayzata bait since I was a teenager. Tim was there then and is there now. I hope all in the shop enjoys their retirement or whatever else they do. Very sad to see it go. It's always been there as I look over while driving by. It's never been easy to go to, but it's always fun looking over looking at the rigs stopped out front picking up their bait. There is a certain comfort in that.

[@sobifishing]

I feel the same way Trevor, there is a certain comfort in seeing boats parked outside a bait shop

[@sjh6953]

You boys legit slam all species in the Midwest! Freakin Hammers

[@shattyfishingcontent6561]

It was awesome seeing you at the boat meet. Thanks again taking us out!

[@sobifishing]

Good to see you fellas

[@totoutdoors5191]

Another great vid Sobi!

[@sobifishing]

Thanks Tot! Happy Days

[@gregwegrzyn1924]

Favorite way to fish ever. Slip panfish. Light action. Best wver

[@sobifishing]

Totally agree, float fishing Crops is a blast!

[@rowanoostraoutdoors]

That looks like a blast!

[@sobifishing]

Howdy Rowan 👋

[@anglingwithPride]

Slaying those crappies! Fun video

[@sobifishing]

Thanks Kenn! Have an awesome weekend

[@markhabeck6614]

That was so cool you guys made a great video and to share fish with the bait shop owner was in creditable, best video i seen on you-tube in a while.

[@sobifishing]

Thanks for saying that Mark! Sharing some fish and stories with Tim the bait store owner was a blast. He’s such a kind/ helpful guy. Thanks for the comment Mark, hope you’re having a great spring!

[@danielvelez4001]

Awesome ❤😂

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Its amazing how many people fish minnkota with how close it is from the city and yet still… so many crappies

[@squishymux1726]

Nothing like hammering spring crappies!

[@sobifishing]

Absolutely 💪

[@sjh6953]

You guys are freakin awesome

[@shaunsmuder1637]

Thanks sobi😊

[@sobifishing]

Happy Days Shaun!

[@shaunsmuder1637]

@Sobi yes sir.

[@SargeCards]

Great vid. Here in Michigan we use a 1/32 oz. Twister tail under a weighted bobber. Cast and retrieve. It’s deadly on spring crappie.

[@sobifishing]

What are the water temps in your area of Michigan!

[@gregwegrzyn1924]

Epic vid. Going to southern IL tomorrow am hopefully put the pound on the crappies

[@sobifishing]

GET EM 🤘 GL Greg

[@x0veN_trading]

Going out there this weekend with the new boat. What bay were you mostly in?

[@user-zg4oj4fb3n]

I love watching your videos! I’m new to lake Minnetonka and want to get into some crappies but don’t have any spots. What bay were you in sobi? Or do you have any good spots on Minnetonka?

[@Mak933]

Wayzata Bait and Tackle is indeed legendary. My Dad always took me there since I was a boy. Sad to hear they are closing.

[@sobifishing]

100% legendary!

[@willschaust7978]

Bob and Tim are the nicest people out there. Truly genuine people that will help put you on your desired bite. Wayzata Bait will be missed.

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Was there this past Sunday, was cold and super windy 😅😅😅😅. Not sure what’s going on that day but there was a lot of BASS BOATS out there, probably some kind of tourney goin on 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@sobifishing]

It was Intune Marine Demo day last Sunday out there. They were giving boat test drives 👊

[@jillpeterson8196]

Holy Crappies, Mr. Sobi!! They are my favorite fresh-water fish to eat. Mmm. I live in Colorado, and they are sooo hard to find. I can find five different kinds of trout (which I don't like) in the same lake or river, but no crappies!! I'm so envious!

[@sobifishing]

I’m jealous you live in Colorado! Fishing secluded streams with the Mountain View sounds like a dream!

[@jillpeterson8196]

@@sobifishing You and Stephanie should come fish 11 Mile Canyon! I'll trade you houses for a week! :D

[@joythegreat.77]

Only drop I’ve missed was the one you happened to join on live. Bummer! Oh well I’ll feel better by the end of the video.

[@jayfishez]

Bringing the freshly built Jon out tomorrow to fill the new livewell with some paper mouth🫡

GET EM JAY 🤘

[@joepeatrowsky3084]

What kind of boat is hays running I really like the layout?

[@kenandrieling5885]

Hey, i used to live on lake Minnetonka

[@MUDDRAGGERRC]

Nice video dude

[@sobifishing]

Thanks Harvey!

[@dano5825]

Gotta try crappie jerkey

[@johnlamont3885]

Sobi why aren’t you buying that bait shop? Seems like a nice extra cash flow and you can employ some fellas, would probably snag a ton of market share give from Minnetonka / Chan all those places.

[@jordantaylor9101]

That baitshop is set to be bought out by the car dealership next door. The whole strip mall is to be purchased by them.

[@sobifishing]

Man that would be a dream, maybe someday 👊

[@msmith6634]

So in tn we blk nose and white crappie. Do u have both species in Minnesota? Love this spring content.

[@jordantaylor9101]

​@@willschaust7978 Thanks for the correction. I read an article stating a dealership was buying and just assumed it was the one next door.

[@madtownangler]

Looks Like I gotta watch Purple Rain next.

[@sobifishing]

😂😂😂😂

[@ReloadsScopez]

What live scope pole set up and mount are you guys using?

[@bigredreels6499]

Tell Brock that i have the same livescope setup!

[@farhenheit628of1200]

Aye! Thats my main bait shop!?!?

[@mattphillips6578]

Man Sobi. U need to put together a group to buy that bait shop.

[@sobifishing]

That would unreal awesome!

I live right by lake Minnetonka we should meet some time!!!😊

Let's go

[@jasejens]

Love this! What boots are you wearing?

[@sobifishing]

The Grey version of the Blackfish Rage boot 🥾

[@jasejens]

@@sobifishing what do you think of them? Are they snug enough to your feet to be comfortable to walk in?

[@nickstoffel2242]

With them cubby pull the plastic down put a drop of super glue get twice the amount of bites out of one plastic if not more

[@sobifishing]

That’s a great idea, I’ll try that!

[@blueultra2]

What kind are you using?

[@draeseason]

any good shore spots on Minnetonka?

[@lungbustercrnvr1384]

Shame bout the Baitshop but like Ol'boy said 48 yrs is ONEHELLUVA run fer a Ma & Pa shop! God Bless them in thier retirement! Keep them vidja's comin Sammy Jammy!

Happy Days Lungbuster!

[@Tyler9080]

Upper north arm! Gotta love it

[@LufieHtoo]

What lake is that ?

[@calebswenson]

What bay is this

[@alanwelch6594]

Sobi, if you would learn to reel left handed, you wouldn't waste time shifting the rod from hand to hand. The result is more time gained to catch fish. You have excellent fishing skills already and this would increase your efficiency. Good vid.

[@GabooNx]

When does tourney Tuesday start?

[@sobifishing]

I think a month 👊

[@curtanschuetz3434]

Love how they're concerned about over harvest but still name the lake, the water temp, the baits and show exactly where they are fishing. Prime example of how social media wanna bees have the potential to blow up spots and even devastate lakes.

[@zillobeast5257]

They are gonna blow my spot in north arm i was pissed when i saw that

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

You guys look like your out in the middle of that bay. Water must still be too cold.

[@sobifishing]

This cold spring has really kept the fish out deep/ main lake the past couple weeks

[@SteveC810]

Tie up some hair on some tungsten

[@sobifishing]

Did they turn out pretty sweet?

[@SteveC810]

@@sobifishing very sweet. And very effective, both through ice and on beds. 👍

Hey sorry I'm want to get a hold of your buddy to talk about going on a fishing trip on Minnetonka need some more information like a phone number and name something like that would appreciate it thanks peace
