    Legend has it that Brandon was under the ice herding all the brookies to Jay's holes ;) Some crazy action out there! Love that you're promoting budget ice fishing, Jay. My family started ice fishing in 2020 when money was tight, and we made do with a hand auger, 4 rods, some lures and not much else. It's doable guys! (Disclaimer: I got addicted and now I have an electric auger, 2 electronics, a ton of Frostbite rods, a smitty sled, and tons of other stuff. lol)

  • @Phantazim132W0
    @Phantazim132W0 Год назад +3

    the best advice I've heard in a long time. It doesnt take thousands to ice fish. I spent many years with a hand auger, a bucket and a jiggle stick.

    3 yrs ago I was doing it on a budget since I wasn't sure if ice fishing was for me. Turns out I can't get enough of it! Now, I have a Clam shelter, Mr. Big Buddy Heater, Garmin Striker Ice sonar and so on. Only thing that sucks is that I live in P.A and every year we don't get ice. Jay has created a monster here and I want to thank you for opening up a new hobby for me. I've always been a avid fisherman but ice fishing is my absolute favorite!

    Totally agree about helping out new people on hardwater. As much as I enjoy trips with people who know what to do on the ice, I enjoy getting new people out on the ice to give them the experience.

    For willow branching a #6or#8 gamakatsu circle hook is hard to beat. Its a legal jaw-jacker and hooks a lot of biters so you just pull them up.

    @ratherbefishing4225 Год назад

    Due to seasonal work most of my opportunities for ice fishing have come in the later season when we have 2’ of snow on top of 3-4’ of ice so I bought an old 8” Jiffy 30 for $100, got it tuned up pretty well, got a shelter and Aqua-Vu for Christmas years ago, main thing I’m still lacking is a snowmobile but I can beg and borrow for now. Always like seeing people do it the old school way though 👍

    @tharemyhopkins5873 Год назад +1

    "you probably have an axe" for $0 you can cut into your neighbors garage and use all his stuff! :) Great point on asking to use someone's auger. I think we've all been there where you ran out of gas or forgot a battery or forgot the auger, I agree 99% of folks will let you use theirs or punch some for you if you ask respectfully.
