The Hunt for Great Lakes Walleyes on Saginaw Bay - In Depth Outdoors TV S16 E12

[@slimbidious]

I don't even know how many years I been watching this show, but when James and PJ get together it's the best episode I've ever seen.

[@roblafay7121]

You fellas are always welcome here in Michigan, we love the show!

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

Thanks Rob. Everyone we meet in MI has always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. It makes us want to come back even more often!

[@5moonunit]

When did you go out? Did you go out linwood rd? And how far and deep were you guys? I have a quad and sometimes getting past the crack is a bitch.

[@lawsonhollenbaugh3626]

WOW, I'VE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S, JAMES & PJ YOU GUYS ARE WALLEYE ROCK STARS, I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU GUYS, TIGHT LINES MY FISHING BUDDIES...!! TIGHT LINES .! 😎👌🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

Thanks Lawson! We'll be back doing our thing mid November!

[@dmredneckd1708]

Love that big one that pj got!

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Nice !!!!!! Good eatin too 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽

[@jonwazny6747]

You hit it on a good day and make it look easy. Reality, it's still fishing not catching. Last 3 trips only 2 fish for me and was out by the plug. Great show love the content. Going to enter for that side x side 🤙 Tight lines

[@FarNorthAnglers]

It will always produce if you have the right stuff. Get you a 93UHD with a LVS34 to find fish and you’ll find em and catch up if you find fish and they don’t bite and come to look find another pod.

[@josephrosolowski3575]

The guys you went with definitely know what they’re doing. Great episode as always

[@madjack7979]

Great show guys thank you

[@jamesyoung4633]

Great job, always like your videos

[@joem8875]

"we've got some people coming by were gonna go into stealth mode". This guy gets it. Love it hahah

[@adamclayton9744]

Great to see a healthy class of big walleye, thank you from the buckeye state!

[@5moonunit]

I'd love to get on fish like that. Started ice fishing last year and got new quad and shanty and everything. Just watching your vids to learn. Sorry if I ask a lot of questions but just trying to learn. Be nice if you took me out lol...just kidding

[@sharpie4298]

👍. Looks like u guys had a good day on the bay!

[@brendanbeishuizen5829]

Watching this from my shanty on the bay right now

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

How's the bite!

[@roberttolley5055]

Great video as always. We are swamped in snow here. Like up there. Ordered rod holder for Kayak. Last piece other than night lights. Can assemble all the parts after ice off. We got 15 more days ice. Last night buddy called it at 11 pm. Not feeling great. So it was a bust. No bites. He normally try's to hang out tell bitter end.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@Clintsilver94gt]

So glad to see you come to the bay! I love this fishery. Can’t wait to meet you guys

[@michatvrider]

It was Hit and Miss last weekend! More finiky than ever..

[@Hardwaternhighways]

Excellent video as usual, I’ve decided to make a trip to the States now, your analogy of the bay and fish just made it a bucket list destination.

[@jimmykav44]

Great epic, boys!

[@dajahvue]

I love this channel....... props to you guys been long time sub

We're glad to have you here, mega!

[@Gatorraider]

Here we go!!

[@dakotalayinlow]

when you guys doing a show on the Detroit river for the spring run???

[@mikepratt6932]

What is your normal rod setup for Saginaw Bay? Size leader and quick claps? do you use a barrel swivel ?

[@pjvick3128]

The tuned up custom rods commander in 38". I run an okuma ceymar c-10 reel. James prefers an okuma helios hsx-20. I believe we are both spooled up with six pound suffix ice magic. We run a small swivel about 16 inches above a cross lock snap to prevent line twist. The cross lock allows us to change out baits efficiently. Also allows the bait of choice more freedom to work without the motion being restricted by a tight knot.

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

James runs Sufix Advance on walleye rods and was fishing a Tuned Up Power Precision.

[@redneckoutdoors184]

Was wondering when you guys were gonna take a trip to the Saginaw bay last year we didn’t really have great ice like we do this year been a great year been on ice on the bay since like end of December

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

We were waiting and I wouldn't call it patiently either. 😁. I wish the bay wasn't so far away so we could spend more time fishing it. But really is a special body of water.

[@ChrisLaprise-p8n]

Awesome

[@JimBowSlice]

I love the fact that pj is always wearing them white mickeys

[@thaddeuskrasinski2586]

Don't leave home without them

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

Great shows James and PJ I have fished Saginaw a hand full of times and only caught the nice eaters like James wish I could land one of them big girls. I have a question on your Drone what one are you using I have a DJI mini 2 and that app stopped. Thanks for sharing.

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

DJI Magic Pro. Thanks Wayne! Sag Bay is definitely of our favorite bodies of water!

Sorry, auto correct messed up my response. The model drone we use is the DJI Mavic Pro.

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Buh bye red lake, see u in a bit Michigan 😅😅🔥🔥

[@FarNorthAnglers]

Red lake is fun for eater sized walleyes saginaw bay will produce some magnums and if you just want keepers you can fish the river jigging a #5 jigging rap and catch 10-13 inchers all day I have had several 200 walleye days walking not 50 yards from my truck there.

[@jasonwahoske3587]

Hey. What auger mount are you using on the front of your Sportsman?

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

[@larrygoodmanson8964]

I have watched your videos for many a year and I love them to pieces. One thing I always wince at is when I see an ice auger laying without the blades covered. Those ‘razor sharp’ blades ‘bare to the world’ just waiting to cut. Don’t get me wrong, I know that everybody does it and occasionally I forget too but I guess I FINALLY felt that I HAD to say something. Please try to pay more attention to the fact that they present a very dangerous threat and maybe address the same on your videos. Again, I love your video content. Please keep them coming. THANX

[@19712218]

I always worry about the blades, especially when I’m alone on the ice. Cut yourself in the wrong spot and you could easily bleed to death on the ice all ALONE! Good point sir!

[@mikedolbee2282]

Winter is definitely the best time to catch the bigs out of Saginaw Bay. Summer is the time to go catch limits of eaters

[@DerekBurr-l5y]

when was this taken?? didnt think people made it that far out last year.

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@royraska5238]

Me and my buddy are going to go there for our first time. Is there any advice that anyone can give us. Whether be about ice safety, what to avoid, and anything really.

[@josephrosolowski3575]

You might want to consider hiring a guide for your first trip. Many of them now do “follow outs” for around $75-100. You use your transportation and gear, but they take you out on a safe trail to an area that has been productive. At the very least, join the Saginaw Bay Facebook group and look around. Good luck!

[@stumpedridgeoutdoors516]

We produced great fish 4 miles out this weekend 23’ of water it’s fishing when you get out there

[@raprock5000]

PJ great job keeping the fish right away. No sense in whining about cleaning a couple fish...👌🏼🇺🇸

How deep guys? Great vid thanks,

We were in 27 foot of water.Thanks Gerry!

It was shot this week. So, 2022.

[@kouvang590]

What kind of rods and reels do you two’s use?

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

PJ was using a Tuned up Commander. James was using the Power Precision with Okuma Ceymar or Helios reels.

[@noahlapointe9041]

@@InDepthOutdoorsTV hey PJ if you had to pick one rod would you pick the commander or the Power precision for Saginaw Bay? thanks Noah

[@scottrouwhorst881]

How long are they and how much do they weigh

[@hotdog9911]

where did you go out of

[@stevensteiner2539]

Ok let me rephrase my question then 😀, wouldn't having live imaging be beneficial always? And if I owned it I think I would want to use it always. That's why I was wondering why you don't use mega live always.

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

We use mega live every time we're on the ice. We just didn't show it. Instead we chose to focus on 2D sonar footage in this episode. We will definitely feature mega live in future shows.

Don’t do a good job keeping your spots a secret!, the plug buoy is right being you 😂👍🏻👍🏻

Go get em.

[@Rykbear]

How far out did you go

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

I think it was a little over 10 miles

[@ehansen30000]

If you went out of the east side you went at least 10 miles for sure.

[@5moonunit]

You guys use mono or flora

[@z.p.3707]

Surprised you guys don't get an AIRBNB on the bay and stay for a week. Fishing is incredible out here, most of the time

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

Unfortunately our schedule wouldn't allow us to stay for a week. We film our shows and air them in the same week which means as soon as we get our show shot we have to head out so we can get the footage to the editors.

[@z.p.3707]

@@InDepthOutdoorsTV I figured as much. Keep up the great work. I watch you guys on a regular. I'm from Central Michigan 👋 🐟

We'll keep cranking out the shows! Thanks for watching.

They need to come and fish were I live I just cought and let go a 11.87 the other day that’s not my biggest walleye 12.58lbs!!

[@JimBowSlice]

Wheres that lol

[@jakeswartz1705]

You guys should start showing some of the fails! When fish come in and dont decide to hit, what are your percentages of fish marked to fish you get to bite etc. Also show how often you're moving spots. More behind the scenes action instead of just hooking fish.

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

When we've done those shows in the past they're our lowest watched shows of the season.
