@@canadaeast8358 when a net is set for the first time they use what's called a "jigger' to put the rope inbetween the holes. after that they just use the existing rope. do a search on "net ice fishing jigger" and you'll find videos on how they do it, it's really cool to watch. there are some out there with clear ice where you can see the jigger in action.

Great video! Thanks! Currently have a manual ice auger. I'll have to look into getting a gas powered one. 3 feet is a lot of ice!

How deep? Asks the sport fisherman....awesome video. Always wanted to film and experience what you guys do , minus the extreme hard work haha.....how long do you soak? And does the size of the net mesh restrict or limit the size of fish? I see nets both summer and winter on lake wpg and I respect.

between 8 and 18 feet lake depth. nets I about a week. yes the net size matters for size of the fish caught. thank you for the comments!

Not a fan at all of fishing but I like the rest of the video. I did the ice drilling once by hand in Sweden. I think it took me over 40 minutes :D

When the weather got bad Snoopy rode inside. Snoopy passed away last year :(

Which part of the lake are you fishing on? I went out on the lake once with Irvin Hall in his Bombardier, just north of Amaranth.

Are the nets set up before ice freezes?

@SimpleTek

no, they are put in with a device called a jigger. you can search KZread to see how that works, it's really neat. I'm hoping to do a video on one soon, but it won't be easy to see with 3 foot thick ice and snow that we have here right now... I've seen videos on KZread where it's thin ice and clear ice so you can see the jigger walking along. It's worth a search to see one in action.

Do you guys just leave the tullibee on the ice? sort of seemed like it was just thrown to the side

to answer your question, both. the floats bring one end of the net up to the bottom on the ice, the other side is a weighted line that goes to the bottom. Thank you for the kind words!

Simple Tek I’m not sure I understand how you get the line that the gentleman’s pulling to set the net attaches to the net. With all that distance between holes, how do you get the rope from one hole to the other? I paused the video and tried to figure it out, I fear it’s something simple and I’m just missing it. Cheers, thanks.

@@michaelschnoor7594 FYI the commercial fishery on Lake Manitoba is regulated by Manitoba Fisheries, and has been sustainable for decades with catches similar year in and year out. Millions of fry are released for the lake every year to sustain the fishery too. Just cause you found some scientific name for the fish doesn't mean you know anything about the fishery here or if it's being fished out. It isn't.
