[@StriperScott]

I'm coming over from Bloody Decks, great video!!!

[@colin-me]

Hells yes! I gotta switch my jack traps back to there early season set up. How far north did y’all have to go?

[@robgrubb420]

without a center point every time you smack down or even touch the ice the edge of your blades are making contact first, dulling them bending them etc. always touch the augers without a center point down to the ice as lightly as you can to prolong the blades cutting at peak performance. kills me to see you use it like a walking stick and slamming it before you drill, but it your shit and you can beat it how you like. :) love your videos can't wait for the rest of the season tight lines!

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

That’s the least of that augers problems lol

[@TR.Actual]

Love the ultralight setup! My little Jet is ready for takeoff but no ice here in VT yet The little 20” JackTraps are awesome aren’t they.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

@@mainetroutwhisperer I've got the Climate in red; thought about replacing my Cabela's Guidewear bibs though they've only been fished a dozen times or so and already leaking on the knees. How have the bibs held out the water?

[@ejdoeseverything]

Wow, still not even close down here on Sebago

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

This was before the rain. Probably not that safe anymore

[@ejdoeseverything]

ahh, that makes more sense. Love the channel - keep showing folks our great state! @@mainetroutwhisperer

[@jarredsevene6600]

What area is this?

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Central Maine. After the rain we had, it’s probably not that safe.

[@HAZMATt207]

Funny how many Mainers make a point of whether or not brookies are stocked. They wouldn’t be there if they weren’t stocked.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

I make a point to emphasize this because if I don’t, I get 100 questions about why they look like they got hit by a lawnmower, or people staying “srubbers”,etc. lol. I’m not trying to hide the fact we are fishing for stocked fish. If it wasn’t for stocked fish we have hardly any yep it to fish for in central and southern Maine lol. We do have plenary of wild and native fisheries, but this was not one of them lol
