I literally lol'd at this

A half day or a whole day guide make a great gift.

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)

Appreciate the safety gear - life jackets on boats, floating suits, helmets on snowmachines, etc! My kids watch your channel with me so great so have you be an example!

All that safety gear…. Rides out with an axe. 😂

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!

I like how you classified your sticks.

Rubber bands work great for hanging line on your willow keeps depth too

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.

Peric lost the chisel and Jay is so creative he made it into a video idea. Nice work Jay, tell Peric you’re taping the chisel to his hands next time.

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.

Love the amount of ice content you are pumping out

Great topic, nice to see some back to the basics. Hope it helps introduce some more anglers to our amazing passion.

Yet another reason we love your channel. Old School.

Great video Jay. Good to see you back on the ice.

Always the BEST fishing content!

You rock Jay!!!! Keep them comin man!!!

Great video, looking forward to getting out on the ice.

Thanks for showing this. Reminds me of how my dad and I used to ice fish..

Great video! Really was looking for a video like this! Keep up the good work👊

Thanks Jay always's amazing content

Love your videos jay!

Thank You!!! Very inspiring. Definitely getting a dinner bell and a Tantrum.

Love the videos man can’t wait to watch this one

Love the economy segment Jay and the safety comments....well done!!

great video for those of us just getting into the sport. Looking for the ice down here in Maine

great vid jay! stay safe out there everyone!!!!

Nice willow budget rods. Great gift ideas Jay.

Beautiful video... Beautiful fish... Beautiful day... I would say that's a win day❤👍👍👍 your just missin the rest of the fam❤😊 E-bike... totally cool bonus!

Can’t wait to try your new lemon pepper catch and cook

Awesome video Jay, I love introducing people to ice fishing and it was awesome seeing a budget video. I've been asking the wife for some catch and cook so hopefully this year is the year for that, I wanna try that lemon pepper!!

"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.

It's Jay on the ice!! Great video!

Jay. This is a banger

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 👍

Jay nice job!

just got my package of lemon pepper yesterday, great video, old school

Grew up fishing like that. ❤

Good video jay ty

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.

Me as 11 year old I love the game and I can’t wait till it is season in Minnesota

Dude, amazing video! would love to meet you someday! another dream would be to go fishing at Uncle Marks outpost! Great content, love your channel!

Awesome video! That was great bringing it back to basics gad fishing and chasing the Elusive Square Tail aka D!*k Trout. Can do the exact same things tomorrow and not even get a bite lol

Love the Napoleon Dynamite music.

Thanks a lot ...... I was hoping to get a fish finder for Christmas ..... my wife told me she went in the bush and got me a stick.

Hey jay when you get flash burn or ice blindness soak a rag or towel on whole milk and lay it acrossed your eyes as a compress till it stops absorbing heat, itll cut down the amount of time for healing an takes the burn feeling away.old welders trick i learned about long time ago when i was young like you

A sight fishing video in that spot would be awesome!

black dot disease parasite has a really interesting life cycle through fish eating birds and fish.

Reminds me of the video of Aaron Wiebe catching musky on a spiner heade himself, in the boat, with his hair. Unreal.

Awesome video! Jay you need to get the guys together for 39 HOURS SEASON 3!!!!

Looks like black spot on those Brook trout. It can look like you've rolled them in black pepper. It creates some cool looking fish.

All you need is fishing line and a five of diamonds.

Man killing it on tree shrubs sticks! 🤯🤘🐟 i want an axe a big bush and a bmx for Christmas! 💁‍♂️🤣👍

Nice

I swear I caught more fish when I just had a rod and a bucket. Hopping someone's old holes. Now Im comfortable lol

Jay... you don't get 30 minutes from home in the truck if your BUDGET is $20, haha! Thanks for the video as always!

@@JaySiemens Hahah.... I'd believe it cause there are trout in my back yard too. So you could convince me of anything pretty easily. I'll head up to the ice tonight or tomorrow... 3 hours to find ice out here in the west.

Quite often I go brookie fishing with nothing more than a small spool of 4lb mono and a few jigs.

Look smart to me 👍👍

Cold will reduce your range, so will hills and wind. I've been using an ebike for hunting for a few years

NEED studs for your tires and lower psi! dave genz rocks a fat wheel bike, i wish there was more vids with him using it.

Thanks Jay was watching and 20:44 my wife heard you say you don’t need all that expensive equipment to ice fish!! That is not true! 😂😂. She said your online fishing friend uses sticks!!

You should try Dixie lake Jay at the east end in 3 feet of water,believe it or not lol.Brookies and rainbows

You posting all these ice fishing videos has me eager. This February me and my dad will be traveling to Winnipeg to ice fish for a week. any recommendations for lakes and species of fish you fish for on those lakes? other than lake Winnipeg for walleye.

@eduffy4937

6 ай бұрын

Winnipeg for pike. Leave those rough fish be.lol

I think you should fish the rest of the ice season with a few sticks!

“Safety is the name of the game” *drives E-bike with an axe in his hand*😂😂😂

You can catch fish on anything!!!

Do more Jay to rack and pack the electric bike,sure you can make a transformation budget method so all wheels or tracks can be altered to fit the desired need towards ice fishing .

Love the e bike... Until you're carrying the axe on the handle ha! But yeah... "Safety first". Love the videos keep up the great work!

Looks like Emerson lake if I’m not mistaken 😊

Jay, I love you my brother..... nix the helmet. Ha!

Dude see if one of those bike trailer kits would mount to your sleigh, i bet you could make a e bike fishing group happen, that thing would totally pull your sled with hifax on it

Hey Jay, what would be the best resort and lake to go to in Manitoba to catch giant pike?

*best gift would be a guided trip with taro*

U can get rod under$20, everything else is $, coat/bibs $100-200 each, auger 65 to $100 hand auger, cordless $ 200-300, goal is don't get all at once.

We're ready for an 80 mile fishing trip on the E-bike now...👀

Gotta get yourself some beefcake jerky instead of that jerky ya got on the ice with ya! Get ahold of flair😂

Wonder what the battery life would be in -15 or -20.

East Emerson Lake ... ?

Was that a prototype frostbite? Tickle Stic perhaps? Lol!

Shades are most important, if I forget my shades I'm setting up a shanty lol fk that

You’ve just became the best fishing KZreadr by showing us you can fish without all the bells and whistles. Bet clay couldn’t do that….😅

Riding a bike with a uncovered ax head!

Is the ice really that thick this year already or is this footage from last year that's just been posted?

So how well does the bike pull a sled?

Jay, how ‘bout a “get out of divorce free” card to go in the ‘ol budget bag?! 😂( my better half NEVER seems to agree that it’s a great day to go fishin’ 🤷‍♂️)

❤️👊💪🎣

Bro out here catching fish on a twig...there goes all my excuses 🤣🤣🤣

Next video, how to fish for $20 on my private Bahamian Beach. lol

Jay! Had to stop the video. Trace that ax and send the tracing to me and I'll stick up a sheath Scary to see that axe, on a bike, on the ice!

those aren't willow. lol birch and spruce. id worry about snapping the spruce one with a fish.

Is there a cheaper alternative to an auger?

@JaySiemens

hand crank augers are about $50-80, maybe a spud bar would be a bit cheaper?

If frostbite doesn’t come out with a rod call The Branch, im gonna be upset 😂

Under $20? How much did the sled cost? And the winter clothing? And the boots? And???

You are totally right - he should have started naked you can't assume people who live near frozen lakes have warm clothes.

Kids, dont run with scissors! Ride the ebike with an axe 🤷‍♂️😂

That ring makes it look like your finger is bleeding lol

so AP didnt tear it up huh?

I dunno if this one hits the mark.

Nice ! BTW , Riding any kind of bike with an axe in hand could end Badly ........ JS. Peace !

O_O buy them fish a cheese burger! They hongry!
