You have to see it from the home owners view too, probably a bunch of people trespass and litter that spot. Sometimes you precursor your child with a disciplinary statement before they go out at night, with the gf etc. that home owner was doing the same. Laying down some anger in hopes to drive respect for his land. Not the correct way of doing it but I get it.
You made it look so easy. Made me almost want to go down there and give it another shot. I used to come down from MN mostly in the Fall and fish the Root and Pike mostly in the late 90's and early '00's. Came down once or twice in the Spring and never had any luck. Haven't fished salmon or trout in years.
Nothing better than some small creek BIG fish action! Love it! Old boy was just jealous you knew what you were doing around all the steel in his yard 😂
In WI is it keeping your feet physically in the water, or is it staying below the high water mark? Man flashbacks fishing in Ontario. Steelhead fishing & motorcycles just seem to trigger some people over the edge.
Feet wet. Members of the public may use any exposed shore area of a stream without the permission of the riparian (i.e., landowner) only if it is necessary to exit the body of water to bypass an obstruction.
Eric I'm so glad your macking videos again! I was talking to Cal about going on a guided trip with my dad, so he can finnaly get on some fish after his hip replacement this winter.
Moved to that area a bit ago and haven't ever tried the pike. I am trying for hunting more this year if I can find people to go with in Southeast WI. Thanks for the videos they have helped me get some bites here in Kenosha Racine.
Liking the intro, very fresh. Hooking up like cray Eric! Beautiful fishys! The wader boots are looking awesome lol! Man, that land owner has had really bad experiences with anglers.
Hey Eric! I was just wondering what to look for when fishing the pike because the first time I went, there were no fish! Is it because that creek needs a good rain to raise the water level by the beach?
Wow wonderful video. Seems like a wonderful fishery you have there. That little creek reminds me of the creek I had in the back yard growing up. Every spring huge browns would swim up river to spawn and it would also be a beat down.
I have had that happen to me also caught a brown that swallowed my hook so I cut my line at its mouth and on my way back down stream about a hour later I caught that same fish in the same hole still had my hook in it
♪♪"Fat hens in a little creeek, fat hens in a little creeeek." ♪♪ 🤣😂 Gotta watch out for those trouser ducks, sometimes they leave a stain...😂 Great video man, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has to adapt and overcome on every outing it seems!
Also I've personally dealt with Karens like that, its ridiculous when people think they own the river. I had this crazy lady come down to the hole i was fishing and say her dogs might come down and ones not nice... I told her her dog might not make it if I get attacked because I'm well below the high water mark and she insisted she owned up into the bushes 10' above the high water mark... I just shook my head and kept fishin
I've dealt with PITA landowners as well but the high water mark rule ended in 2001. Got to keep your feet wet except the shortest path to go around obstructions. Cellphones are great for Karens and Bobs who like to harass anglers.
in retrospect, i really do think states should make 15 foot of land both sides of the river a special public access land where people can walk through. some rivers have massive sand hills which makes it impossible to even keep your feet wet
You get halfway up the shore for the flood line. Boots in the water don’t mean spit. Id wait till it floods then stomp all over his land. I hate people that buy property like that then think they own part of the river. I would’ve turned this video in to the DNR and showed them this is absolute fisher/hunter harassment. PSA don’t buy land with public access or water and expect people to obey your stupid boundaries.
Same people like that I’ve seen make artificial changes to waterways like rock dams, illegal dumping, fences. You call the DNR on them and all they say most of the time is “well unfortunately”. Absolute bull spit. The tourists and guides fishing around there bring more tax revenue in than their stupid property tax ever will. Fight the good fight for hunters and gatherers.
Awesome video! Big fish small creek baby! Haha.For someone not knowing much about the salmon run in the spring, do they run up all of March into April or is it a water temp determination? Planning a trip and more information would be great! Thanks Eric!
Wow! Not all of us Kenoshans are so nuts! Well-handled, and beautiful hen! Next time you come by, be sure to hit up the Biergarten at Pets. Their brats are amazing. Maybe I'll see you by the creek :)
Sheesh I would have lost my mind on him... You handled that real well. Screw that guy, just trying to fish and he comes out and just loses his mind for no real reason.
He also has people just fish from his banks as well not in the water also it sad he has had things also damaged on his property as well tree broke ECT.
Legal access is Inside the ordinary high water mark on all navigable waters here in WI. Most creeks and rivers have a very defined bank edge and are navigable...stay below that bank and tell the landowner you will call the warden for him, in reference to State Statute 29.083 regarding harassment of legal hunting, fishing and trapping activities.
I just saw your video are you guide if yes how do i set up a trip for a couple days and is this years run over ? Also ur fishing the pikes river or creek and what county in WI is that.
Great video! Really like your content. Good mix of entertainment and education. It would be great to see you teamed up with Tom Boley for the next 39 hours.
I guess he doesn't know about the high water mark. Plus if a pier is in your way you can walk around it too. I had a lady who threw a stick at a catfish I was fighting after some high water in a river once. That was my worst person experience. Luckily her dog didn't jump in the river.
First I was like oh I had to go and fish in the nice creek 😁 but after the very very loco mucho loco guy come up yelling, hmmm no thank you, 😆 🤣, but good video body nice steelhead fish 👍💯
@@knrst9061 no offense just picked a name out of thin air, apparently the guys name is actually Louis so we'll change it to that, tight lines and no hard feelings
@@wibigfishcom Thanks Eric, last week or so all we can do is find hens and feel bad we are pounding on them so hard. Been looking to figure out how to get into some males more.
Alright. How much do I have to pay for a guided trip? I have wasted countless hours and dollars on beads, hooks, and other gear and can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
I would of told that moron to call the police to educate that fool - high water mark is clearly visible. Loved how you yelled after catching that chrome to rub it in !
People think because the river runs through their property they own the river. That's when you need to contact the department of natural resources and have them hand them a ticket for interfering with your sportsmen rights. That's the problem we have you need to shut them up sometimes.
If Bob would have calmed down, maybe Eric doesn’t post the creek name. Now everybody gets to enjoy Bob’s backyard! Well done!
Really great job handling that situation! I’m not sure I would have kept that cool... 😂

Addicted fish on

I would like to you if it wad me
Sheeesh🤣 You handled that guy well lol Solid fish too
Is that chiefz 😳📸

You are the difference between class and trash. Great example and video! You're the man!
Awesome video! I can promise you that not all Bobs are like that guy 😂
That was one of your best videos. Freaking hilarious!
Beautiful fish!
Drop the location so we can fish in that guys back yard 😂
Lol....
Dang, that guy was having a bad day, good thing you were having a good day and catching beautiful fish!
And the laws that protect fisherman and hunters from being interfered with in that manner are there also now. Only fair it goes both ways!
Exactly 👊👊
Nothing better than some small creek BIG fish action! Love it! Old boy was just jealous you knew what you were doing around all the steel in his yard 😂
Solid video Eric per usual! Keep it rolling!
Love it love it love it. Deal with “river owners” all the time great job man!
Damm that dude definatly got out of the wrong side of the bed that morning..

Thankfully the land owner said what he had to say and kept going.
More of this type of content.. something we can actually learn from. Thanks
Eric I'm so glad your macking videos again! I was talking to Cal about going on a guided trip with my dad, so he can finnaly get on some fish after his hip replacement this winter.

Another week and another video from the Lake Michigan legend?! We are blessed 🙏🙌🙏🙌
I would love someone to yell at me...that would be their last time yelling at strangers.
Awesome videos Eric. Thank you!
If I'm not mistaken there's also an easement just outside the high water mark
Great Fish and Great Vid. Love the education and excitement. Bob would be a happier person if he just came down and said hello.
Do you need the inland or the Lake Michigan trout stamp for these rivers?
Liking the intro, very fresh. Hooking up like cray Eric! Beautiful fishys! The wader boots are looking awesome lol! Man, that land owner has had really bad experiences with anglers.
Hey Eric! I was just wondering what to look for when fishing the pike because the first time I went, there were no fish! Is it because that creek needs a good rain to raise the water level by the beach?
Crazy land owners are something. Your feet were in the water and you were very polite and handled it great! What a psycho!
Wow wonderful video. Seems like a wonderful fishery you have there. That little creek reminds me of the creek I had in the back yard growing up. Every spring huge browns would swim up river to spawn and it would also be a beat down.
Wow now that's how you catch steelhead. Great video!
That guy is crazy 😂😂😂 basketball court hahaha
My question in the last video was answered in this one , good job
That was incredible!!!! I used to live across from case high school- I only ever saw suckers but I was a kid in the 80’s
Lmao "cmon fish, come, come here" like it's a pet you're calling🤣 Oh thats funny
I have had that happen to me also caught a brown that swallowed my hook so I cut my line at its mouth and on my way back down stream about a hour later I caught that same fish in the same hole still had my hook in it

What side of Greenbay road did you fish from? By petryfing springs golf course ?
I did watch the video too btw haha
Awesome vid keep it up you wer my favorite guy to watch on TV as a kid and it grate you still put out content
Nice fish Eric and wow that dude lol that’s crazy
Great video Eric! Love those small stream steelhead! What GoPro are you using? TIA.
How do you keep your mono and guides from freezing up in well below freezing temps?

@@ScottBlumreich The rules might be different over there but here in WA no one owns the riverbank where the river flows when it rains.
@@ChandlerNoll Gotcha. I wish WI would go back to the high water mark rule. Makes it easier to cover more ground.
@@ScottBlumreich That and its kind of just nature's rule. No one should think they own the river's let alone have the law on their side.
in retrospect, i really do think states should make 15 foot of land both sides of the river a special public access land where people can walk through. some rivers have massive sand hills which makes it impossible to even keep your feet wet
Awesome video! Ha ha ha, that guy was such a nut....
Hey Eric, great video! What style bobber is that, were you using split shot, what kind of hook and size?
Blackbird floats with a #8 gamakatsu octopus hook
Thank you Eric, I’ve been a longtime fan. Keep on living the dream.

“ the duck in my trousers” hahahahahhaa
If anyone can get this location I’ll pay $500, not to fish. Just to knock that guy out, that is so fucking disrespectful.
So I see you met Louis, dude kicked me out 3 years ago😂😂
Yea what a character....
He screams and yells EVERY YEAR for walking through the water near his property.
What an idiot😒if you don't want people on your property maybe don't live by a river then??
If my backyard have steelhead, I'd be selling hotdogs to fisherman. Lol
In Michigan it’s 4 to 6 feet from the waters edge
Never fished Steelhead. What’s the difference though between them and Rainbow trout?
Awesome video! Big fish small creek baby! Haha.For someone not knowing much about the salmon run in the spring, do they run up all of March into April or is it a water temp determination? Planning a trip and more information would be great! Thanks Eric!
March and early April is usually best
Physco karen and physco bob 🤣. This guys awsome
That’s crazy but great video

When will steelhead be back in there?
March
awesome fishing video! Good to see the tundra, hope your enjoying it. oh and that guy was a douche haha
Nice eric... I enjoy your content.

Ey how’s fishing for you guys in Wisconsin, it’s been a rouph winter, are the steelheads still biting in April?
It’s good through the first few weeks of April then the shoreline fishing usually gets better
The waders are made by 8 fans. I have the hip waders of theirs. They are durable and inexpensive. I would recommend them to anyone.
And they match well with my froggtogg wader jacket.
I just saw your video are you guide if yes how do i set up a trip for a couple days and is this years run over ? Also ur fishing the pikes river or creek and what county in WI is that.
He has a website you can go to and book trips with him at. You can also DM him on Instagram to set up a trip with him, highly recommend it!
Kenosha co, love it
Great video! Really like your content. Good mix of entertainment and education. It would be great to see you teamed up with Tom Boley for the next 39 hours.
great vid eric!
You live in South Milwaukee? I live in Oak Creek!
I guess he doesn't know about the high water mark. Plus if a pier is in your way you can walk around it too.

@@ScottBlumreich depends on the state, in my state it's the high water mark
People suck! Keep up the great videos!!
Straight meat down beat down ! One of my favorite ways to fish for steelies
What a day
Didn't know there was steelhead in WI?
They call them steelheads, but technically they're just rainbow trout that live in the Great Lakes and run up creeks and rivers to spawn
They take steelhead and stock them
First I was like oh I had to go and fish in the nice creek 😁 but after the very very loco mucho loco guy come up yelling, hmmm no thank you, 😆 🤣, but good video body nice steelhead fish 👍💯
Eric, Great video as usual. Why the nitrile gloves? Scent? Covid?
For scent and they keep my finger tips warm I had frost bite many years ago and they help
Good too know. I’ve had some frost bite myself. Thanks Eric.
This world is so messed up. You have to have your toes in the water just to fish lmao 😂
As long as you are below high water mark you do not.
What’s the deal wearing the latex gloves?
They keep my fingers warm and great for handling the fish. But I’ve also had Giardia, C Diff and a bad staff infection from fish and water
High water mark is key
Someday bobs gonna go psycho on the wrong guy that's just trying to enjoy the resource
How long is the steelhead run ?
Few more weeks
Thanks for the quick reply Eric. Always loved your content !!
Good stuff Eric!

I have to say I've been close to fighting over something just like that even when boots in water . Some think they own the water also
great video Eric :)
Wait Eric is that really you? I haven’t heard from you in almost a year 😂😂😂
