That is the way to start the day. Great video. I fish similar shallow water on the St, Mary's river. We always bring a jigging rod to each tip up or tip down. Often you can get two or three quick fish after the first one set's of the tip up.
Great show James and PJ and Ryan. I would love and air boat like that someday. Maybe if I win the Lottery HAHA. Now for the Perch them were some big girls, the lovebug is an awesome jig winter or summer and Crappie love them as well. Thank you for sharing and until next show stay safe and tight lines my friends.
James I youtube ( she loves to fish) also, I like her and husband s ice set up to! Lol I let her know I mainly watch ice you guys video! And check in for thumbs up for summer time!
Great tip about using your flashers in shallow water. I, personally, don't use my flasher at all in six foot of water or less. I use long rods and hole hop a ton. I don't like dragging along a flasher while hole hopping, but I know some that do. I'll let them know about the tip you gave about using them in this shallow of water.
After 10 years with the old bunny boots it was finally time to retire them. If boots could talk those ones would have some crazy stories. I suppose they could talk this last year😂
Awesome to see you guys in lacrosse area! I'm from this area. I got some remote places in the area that produce amazing fish. The kind of fishing I know is right up Jame's alley. PS its not on the Mississippi though. ;)
We have lots of ice fishing yet to do before we're going to think about getting back in the boats. Maybe late March or early April will start thinking about doing a Red wing show.
Hey Peter and Dave. Filming for commercial use is only allowed on the refuge once you obtain a special use permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service.
Guarentee there isn't a perch left there now. These damn guides around here are killing our fishery. Pretty disgusting to see how many of these spots are getting raped by these guides on 7, 8, and 9.......
That's not my point at all. My point is the guides in this area will pile 20 guys into a spot like this and fish it till its dead. I live in La Crosse and have witnessed firsthand the B.S. the guides here are doing. I don't fault anyone for finding untouched fish. I fault the guides for raping the resource to put money in their pockets.
@@jmatile I completely agree. Thing about the Miss is it hoards out of towers/staters and a stupid amount of fish gets taken out every weekend in all pools. Same thing with duck hunting.
Hardly. We never freeze fish and our travel schedule had us traveling after wrapping up this shoot. So no need to keep fish we couldn't use immediately. But we do keep fish. Just not this time.
@@InDepthOutdoorsTV the first fish to be caught by pj had knuckled deep up there in the gills. Then the second by Ryan was the same. Not arguing. Just saying what I saw.

Those perch were friggin stupid big, your homework certainly paid off, thanks again for taking us fishing!!
Finally some Mississippi River videos! Love them all!
Great show gentlemen!! James the Wisconsin DNR also gets some credit along with the USFWS and Corps of Engineers.
Thanks for the reminder. We apologize for forgetting anyone or organization that played a part in the improvements!
Joss👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I enjoy the family friendly ability to share the video s also!!!

Awesome video fellas.
Amazing looking fish! Always a pleasure boys.

I think we need a go fund me started for PJ. his bunny's are looking a touch beating up.😂
Here's the crazy thing, he got a new pair, and I mean a brand new pair, this week!

Big fish oh boy!
James if I can ask, what rod and real type for crappie/pearch? Great video!
If I had to pick one it would definitely be the Bullwhip. It is incredibly versatile.

You guys need to do a redwing walleye video soon!

That was an awesome airboat! Who made it?
Hey Randle! My friends Erik,Ryan and Nick bought the hull and cage,they custom built the rest. Awesome machine!
What size ceymar baitfeeder do you use
I like the air boat????
That thing was awesome. We want one!
We’re you guys near stoddard
Perch fishing turned into national geographic 😢
Movie stars?
Too many ads for me, nice perch tho!
Wait, so they normally don't allow filming in the refuge?
I had the same question... is it posted as restricted filming area? (Just scratching my head... with a little confusion.)
Hey Peter and Dave. Filming for commercial use is only allowed on the refuge once you obtain a special use permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service.
Ah, the old commercial angle... glad I’m just a casual fishing guy.
Where was Connor??
We've never fished with a Connor on the Mississippi River. Not sure who you're talking about.

You're mad that someone put in the effort to find schools of good perch that people can't walk to?

I live in La Crosse and have witnessed firsthand the B.S. the guides here are doing. I don't fault anyone for finding untouched fish.

The unfortunate thing is it's only a of the guides that are that way.

Good lord. Let's not get started on the duck hunting lol.
Tip ups for perch need i say more
catch and release perch fishing?!? what are you, vegan?
Hardly. We never freeze fish and our travel schedule had us traveling after wrapping up this shoot. So no need to keep fish we couldn't use immediately. But we do keep fish. Just not this time.
Less theatrics and more fishing would be great
Great fishing video, but those jumbos deserve better than to have fingers shoved in their gills then tossed back. Respect the resource.
Gills were never touched with fingers. Those fish were held by gill plates. There's a huge difference.

@@jordanfrontino244 people that know what they're doing don't shove fingers into gills. Period.
