Walleye Ice Fishing

After missing a "boatload" of fish last week while ice fishing... a few tweaks were in order to correct the ship. Downsizing presentations while upgrading hook sizes is what did the trick to landing fish rather than losing fish.
Another first ice video on the Winnipeg River in Northern Ontario out of Kenora hits the big screen just to show how subtle changes can make such a big difference in catching fish... or not.
If you missed it in the video, we have a giveaway going on and will be drawing the winner on Friday December 15th! Subscribe to this channel for a chance to win and follow us on instagram for some more entry chances into the draw.
If you are interested in a guided ice fishing trip or luxury Ice shack rental, we are offering trips as early as January 1st running until March 15, 2024. I will also be accommodating groups with their own fish houses who want to experience the tranquility and unpressured fishing opportunities of the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods.
Check out the website and shoot me a call/email to reserve your spot!

That win would be amazing!!! Never fished LOTW before it’s definitely a bucket list trip!!!!

[@dustinlecy7913]

walleye fishing on LOTW would be an awesome time!!

[@franciscogutierrez6920]

This summer there was a study that said that color does matter, depending on body of watering. I subscribed to your channel. Hope to win it would be awesome. Good video man.

[@jaydensymonds]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nickbrown6916]

Bucket list trip for me being in Michigan

[@jaydensymonds]

Good luck!

[@davelynch6290]

Wallyees are fun

[@mohunter68]

Sadly most of us In the USA can't go to Canada if you have priers in the US. Last time and only time I got to fish for perch was when I was on a job on Lake Erie doing a water treatment install at Davis Bessie Nuclear Facility right after 911 happened. I got my limit and even had a Fish Ohio for biggest perch. Took them to a cleaning house and they cleaned and froze them for me and I carried them back to Missouri on dry ice. Gotta say that was some of the best eating fish I've ever had!! They were sweet tasting just like a bluegill that we catch here.

[@jaydensymonds]

Hopefully one day you are allowed to come and experience our fishing again!

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Sadly “Most” of us ??.

[@Marioki1533]

[@caseyslaikeu8354]

No we do just hard to find

[@jaydensymonds]

Just that much sweeter when you find them!

[@shawnbeck3962]

Day late on the contest entry. Story of my life 🙄

[@jaydensymonds]

We’ll do it again next winter and I’ll be giving a guided fishing trip away this summer!

Sauginater

[@jaydensymonds]

Love me a good saug dog

[@jimc4839]

Is it OK to keep them out of the water that long?

[@jaydensymonds]

Which one are you referring to? I ate most of them

[@jimc4839]

@northwestoutfitters Ok. Maybe I missed something. I was just curious. I thought there was at least one that was let go after your story, then a measurement. Seems long, but again, I must have misjudged. Good video. I'm down in the Midwest and have to resort to watching videos for now. Can't wait to get out if and when there will be good ice.

[@jaydensymonds]

The bigger one might have been a little longer for the measurement and everything but it’s not much of a concern inside a warm shack - only outside where their eyes can freeze pretty quickly. Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you can get out soon!

[@jimc4839]

@@jaydensymonds True.

[@jeffmeyer617]

Crappies. Or Lakers…..

[@jaydensymonds]

Crappies it is!

[@user-fj9yi5gp2t]

Great!

[@stevebrown7271]

😅 had to stop watching when you said color doesn't matter! It most certainly does.

[@jasonclapp2895]

Some days color has to be dead on, other days it doesn't matter at all.

[@jaydensymonds]

Sorry we can’t be friends - presentations such as size and shape are much better to focus on than colours

[@martine.l.7404]

Crappies!

[@jaydensymonds]

Crappies it is!
