Recently moved from Vancouver to Winnipeg and started ice fishing this winter. Planning to do some open water fishing for the first time this spring. I live near the Assiniboine River in this same area, and your video has me excited to try it out. Thanks!
I appreciate those that do not throw the fish in the water but gently let them go...you're close enough to the water to be gentle letting them go rather than throwing:(
Ive never caught on bobber although ive only tried a few times. Where I was the currrent would just carry it away so wondering how people do that here?
@@cocoleti4474 slip bobber rig works the best. Done it lots at lockport and seine River. Cast it up stream and let it float down. You’ll catch crazy amount of goldeye and drum with odd catfish
What kind of tackle set up should I use to fish the Assiniboine River in this area? (I live close to the park in your video). I'm new to fishing, and a staff member at a fishing shop suggested a pickerel rig with a weight and worms. Are you just using a worm on a hook? Thanks for any advice you can provide to this rookie.
@@JJTFishing I have a question for you if you don't mind. I tested out the pickerel rig, weight, and worms this morning. I noticed the weight doesn't seem to hold my line and rig down in the water. After I cast, the river pushes the line to the shore pretty quickly. However, while watching videos on UA-cam, I saw people cast their rig and weight and just let it sit on the bottom until something bites. Am I doing something wrong:? Do I need a heavier weight? Thanks for helping this rookie out.
amazing just found your channel keep doing river videos my favorite next video if u are close enough can u go to lockport but i have a video request lol becaue i love it go to lockport on the a&w side and walk out to the rock islands and cast jigs with mister twisters and swimbaits and cast into the falls as far as u can and bounce it along the bottom i promise u will catch so many massive channels with this teqnique its weird but it works been doing it for a while and its amazing or if u cant go to lockport please do a video with curly tails

Fishing should be good this spring!
Muddy water fun! Goldeye, mooneye, stinkeye, wooo ,, good fishing!
Where abouts is this fishing spot? Way better than Kildonan Park. :)
I know that area up in wolseley! I fished the assinaboine over in Headingley today and caught some sucker and cats using the same rig youre using!

He's a few feet up from the waterline. And if he steps down, he'll sink up to his waist in the mud.
Lisa go hug a tree ! My god always complaining about something hey
Look up Manitoba gumbo. Our version of quicksand.
Fished that river system lots! Weight and worm or bobber and worm works very very well

A pickerel rig, weight, and night crawlers will work just fine.Have fun fishing!
@@JJTFishing Thank you! Maybe I'll see you around sometime.

Spring currents are pretty strong. You may need a heavier weight.The set up I used is called a Lindy Rig.
@@JJTFishing Thanks!
Where is this at? Seems like a sweet spot
That one Goldeye looked huge. So how long was it?
13.25". Sorry my chest cam didn't pick up the measurement.
Just smoked a load of them... Manitoba candy.
Im going fishing today in the assinaboin river so if you wanna go fishing with me and my brother you can.
Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately I have a meeting with some Smallmouth Bass today. Good luck catching them! Should be a good day to fish.
@JJTFishing thanks for the motivation, and I hope you catch something! Oh and I always fish is the assinaboin river every Sunday
What area of Assiniboine river are you at?
Around Omand’s Creek.
Are you fishing 😅😅😅

Thanks for the info and the kind words of encouragement! I've been thinking about twister tails a lot lately. That would make a cool video!
