#millelacs #icefishing #walleye
Perch! The ultimate consolation prize. It's never an unproductive day, if you can catch a few jumbos.
So true!
“That’s a nice relaxed walleye”
as it twists and turns throwing a walleyed fit
I loved the video, just shows how ice fishing is sometimes. I use two rods, one aggressive action and one just sitting there a foot off the bottom. There are days where I catch more with the still rod.
Thanks Delvin. This is what fishing really looks like somedays. Not all are takers. Lot of people seem to good on the deadstick.
You spooked 6 walleyes! You should havre changed tactics after 2!
lol... right. Damn picky walleyes. They are never aggressive on that lake for me.
Slow down
match the movement of the walleye to your lure... if they come in slow, move your lure slow.... if they come in like rockets, you can jig faster... also i find perch color jigs like the rapala jigging rap work very well , since perch are one of the walleye's favorite food unless you have ciscoes in the lake...
I like what your saying. I had a perch jig n rap with too that I have never used. Should of tossed that down there. I'm headed up this weekend. Hopefully get on some action/ redemption.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that misses on some fish. Good job!
lol... Right. Yup this day was all fishing no catching lol. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BryanProkuski i have many of those days...lol check out my channel if you have a minute, would like to know what you think. I'm always looking to learn from others.
Cool video, this year is my first year through the ice for walleye. So, to see how they act/react to baits and movement is great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Good luck this year ice fishing. It's very cool to see the reactions on the camera. Lets you learn their behavior better. I'll be back out Sunday for them.
I honestly thought you were doing everything right. Guess I learned something about walleye fishing as well! Haha
lol.. Right! Lot of "experts" on this thread. But I do agree with some of it. If would of held it still for while could of had more strikes. But on other hand, when they're not eating they're not eating. Either way i'll be back!
Every professional fisherman I know says "don't reel against the drag."
That was such a soft eat at 8:40!
Wasn't it. After re watching the video, I'm not even sure he bit. He more like smelt it and I set the hook and caught his lip. They sure were finicky.
I scrolled to the comment section thinking I'd viewed this one already....figured people were just being the typical overly-critical dicks in regards to being too aggressive with jigging/presentation. So I went back to "watch it again," realized I hadn't seen it yet, and agree with the critique several others have already given.
The video is great, I really enjoyed it. Excellent quality of footage, editing, layout (the picture-in-picture seeing what's going on topside and under the ice simultaneously is bad azz), sound quality is good, and I liked the commentary. I look forward to seeing future fishing outings from this guy!
Walleyes are a weird fish. How they bite and their overall feeding patterns are a lot more fickle than the other sportfish that inhabit the same waters. There are times when you kind of wonder if they're consciously making an effort to fast. You'd think a fish would want to consume as many available calories as possible simply from a Darwinist perspective, yet walleyes choose to pass up a "free meal" at a much higher rate than other fish. They actually have the ability to create a small amount of current using their gill plates to push/pull water back and forth through their mouths. When they're biting really light, to the point it's hard to tell, and makes you envision your bait/lure being faintly sucked in and out of a walleyes mouth with them somehow barely even touching it? They actually will do that. The bite is strong enough during early ice that you can get away with being overly aggressive, since the fish are typically going to be the most aggressive they get. Later on in the season...really, the closer to the closure in February, they become less and less aggressive [generally] and how you're jigging now that's attracting them and even getting some to commit and bite.....well, there will be days in a couple months where the same tactic will be successful only in spooking them.
At the 3:10 mark of the video---that's where I'd reccomend holding your rod as perfectly steady as you possibly can. Hold your bait/lure in front of them as motionless as possible. They might sit and look at it for I dunno....ten seconds isn't uncommon for them to stare at it motionless before taking it. I'd reccomend letting it sit motionless until they back off it....just to try it out and see how long they'll wait to take it. After doing that for a bit and getting an idea of how long you should hold it steady for them....then start mixing in some light jigging when they've looked at it long enough to where you don't think they're going to do it. Short periodic, very light jigging mixed in with longer periods of holding it steady will catch you more fish, on most days. Also, don't be afraid to drop it to entice them to bite versus trying to get them to follow it up. If you're a bass guy I'm guessing you're familiar with how much they love to whatever your throwing at them on the drop.
You can't teach experience, so I hope my advice makes enough sense to where you understand the tactics I'm describing....and hopefully if you do it winds up helping you catch more fish. Thanks for the video! Take Care
Wow, were to begin Matt. Thank you for the in depth comment and glad you enjoyed the video. I love the picture in picture look too. Really adds a nice touch and is very informational to see their behavior down below. I am well aware of the aggressive approach I gave these walleyes and really they seem to just want it to call in then a super still bait to eat. It was amzing that with all that action my deadstick next to me never went down. Had to keep checking to make sure minnow was on it lol... I am going to take all this advice and hopefully perfect my walleye game. I'll be back out there a bunch for them this season. Stay tuned.
i admit it...yes laughing...but real cool
lol.. oh yeah worth a laugh in this one. Have at it. Walleyes are so picky out on that lake. They see alot of pressure.
@@BryanProkuski super "cool"...videoes
@@johnchristensen1209 lol Thanks! Stay tuned for tonights video. Going be a cool one ;)
I remember when fishing Walleye on Mille Lacs USED to be fun...about 20 years ago. Not even on my radar anymore. Too many regulations on Walleye now thanks to the ridiculous amount netting that goes on. Thank the Lord we have roughly 11,841 other lakes in Minnesota to choose from.
Ya im relatively new to the lake. Been fishing it for about 4 years now. Had some good days but more bad ones. Was nice to see this many walleye in 2 hour though. Like you said awesome to have 10K lakes to choose from.
@@BryanProkuski Yes, seeing Walleye like you did is promising! Good footage! Thanks for taking the time to do the vid, regardless of what all the "professionals" in the comments section had to say about your fishing technique! Man I tell ya, everybody is an expert in the ol' comments section!
@@DERRICK_McLOVIN Thanks! Your welcome, took some time to edit this one but came out good. Ya I am enjoying all the "professionals" comments. Sounds like some of these guys would have had a 20 fish morning ;)
@@BryanProkuski LOL!
That is some good eating. Just lay that bait on the bottom and jerk it towards you every 5 seconds. Never give a Walleye any slack or they'll spit the hook. I always net mine - had a few close calls on bigger ones trying to get loose. Not much room on the ice, though.
Great underwater footage! Looking forward to seeing more this season!
Thanks Matt! There will be plenty more coming soon!
@@BryanProkuski what type of camera are you using in this video
that feeling you get when they get spooked and dont commit.... Feels bad haha great video and i hope to see more
lol...right! Was a fun and frustrating morning. Thanks man. I'll be back Sunday for them and hopefully have a redemption vid.
We are always seeing walleye on our depth finder sitting the same height as our lures and I bet the just sit like they did at 3:09
Right! I know what you mean, Everytime its like wish I had a camera to see whats going on, Now you know, Frustration...lol
That was fun to watch. I have a place on the west side (south of Terry's Boat Harbor) and can't wait to get up there. Lack of ice is making me nervous about going out. My best spot is out 300 yards and there just isn't enough ice. I liked watching the video and will always watch videos of walleyes on Mille Lacs.
Hey thanks Rick! Glad you enjoyed the video. I had a blast with the action even know didn't catch them. That is awesome you have a place out there. I bet you have some killer spots! I mainly fish the west end. I'll be back bunch this winter, lake is great for the camera and always the chance of catching a trophy! I was out again last weekend, had 7-8" you might be good soon.
Sometime you have to be aggressive with your buckshot and make walleye go crazy
Agreed. They were finiky this day.
@@BryanProkuski yeah absolutely for sure !!
Im no pro fisherman but one of my buddies taught my to slap the minnow head off the bottom in a situation like this. Sometimes the flurry of dirt makes them believe its a dying fish, along with the actually scent of the minnow head it can help convince some tough eyes to bite. Thanks for the great video!
I have heard that same thing. When I banged the bottom it did get their attention but didn't take the bait. I think I had a batch of curious walleyes and not so much hungry ones. Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video!
@@BryanProkuski Absolutely mate! No master here, just passing on what was taught to me that worked in my situation. Of course nothing works 100% of the time! Best of luck to you in the future brother!
Yellow Perch are a great tasting panfish.
Those looked a little smaller than we'd keep in upstate NY.
Yes they are. There are tons of little perch in this lake but if you can get on a good jumbo school. Great eaters!
Enjoyed it Bryan Well done!
Thanks Tim!
Stop jigging when they come in dude. Lay it on the bottom and don’t move it or raise it up. They like a small chase. Triggering the bite is a must when they aren’t so active. Also try just a live minnow. Sometimes if they just grab it let them swim away and swallow the hook.
Thanks for the tips! These walleyes were finicky this day.
I was gonna say gold jigs bring them in from a long way
easy to comment after.i enjoyed the hits and misses,it goes with the territory.All fish are curious but it is like the saying you can lead a horse to water,in this case seahorse lol. cheers and tanx.)
lol.... Right. Glad you enjoyed! It's not always catching out there.
Awesome footage!!! But I would also be just as frustrated, I’ve never had the chance to use a fish camera like that. Always used vexilar flashers which sometimes I’ll make the excuse.. it’s probably interference 🤣🤣
Thanks John! I know what you mean. Before I had a camera I would say the same thing lol. Cameras are really nice but they can get frustrating. I fish way different with them cuz I want to see the bite when really I should be bringing the up for the strike. Either way early ice won't be long and I'm stoked to get back at it!
@@BryanProkuski thank you for the videos tho, I really enjoy them! Good luck this upcoming season and stay safe as always!
I like the way you twitch that lure on the spot but sometimes it pays to let that lure stay still in front of that fish and allow it to close in on that bait.
Ya when I watch the camera I fish different when watching flasher. But alot of fun to use. Can't wait to get back out there for them!
@@BryanProkuski me neither man. For now its off into the woods with my rifle. Its deer season for South Dakota this weekend and I got a tag to fill.
Great videos Bryan. Just found you this week. New subscriber here. Love the underwater footage. It’s awesome to see the fish react to your jigging. We can all learn a lot. It’s hard to know what a fish prefers in jigging style. It’s probably been said already on this thread, but my only thought would have been to slow the jigging down once they came in close. You never know though. I was surprised none of the walleyes grabbed the dead stick that was sitting still next to your active jigging. So that kind of tells me they were just lookers that morning after the sun came up. Cool that you got that much interest….and the larger perch are fun, and usually willing during the day. Great job man….thanks for sharing your experiences with us all!
Thank you! Glad you have been enjoying the videos. The underwater footage is awesome to see how fish react and fun to watch. You can learn a lot. This video I had crazy amount of walleye coming though and ya nothing for the dead stick, Lookers for sure. They are picky out there, so slowing it down may have done it.
@@BryanProkuski thanks for the reply. I’m looking at HD underwater cameras. Do you recommend a specific one in your experience? I’ve seen you use aquavu and marcum. Curious your take on them. And what do you record the feed with?
@@newnatureadventures I have been impressed with the Marcum Pursuit HDL packs an awesome picture and you can record on it and price is great. My Aqua Vu HD7i Pro has the best picture quality but is a beast to lug and cant record on it so need a 3rd party device. But really comes down on how much you want to spend and what you are looking to get out of it. Either way you will enjoy. Have fun!
@@BryanProkuski Thanks Bryan for the explanation. That’s helpful. The portability is really a benefit I can see. The resolution seems similar…but I agree, looks like the Aqua vu is just a bit sharper. Appreciate your time. Good fishing!
Slow it down a bit after u got there attention and I see u got rocks down there but sometimes u gotta bang bottom I've found that it's really affective do that and it looking like a dying bait fish and they sit there and look for it and when they do that pull it just above the could and most of the time they will it thinking that it is injured then it's game on great video forsure I like being able to see it on the camera
Thanks Trevor, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes banging bottom got their attention but I should of been more still when they came to check it out. Like you said awesome to watch them below.
You're just way to aggressive at the start on the camera. Walleye have a soft bite most of the time sometimes it's better to not move it at all for a bit let them get a good look
Excellent critique...couldn't agree more.
Ya I am going give it a different approach next time I head up. Can learn a lot with the camera. I'll be back few more times, take all this advice and get some redemption.
Daniel Holt XXL his approach with the flasher was way less aggressive than with the camera that's why
@@jckhammer Huh? WTF.
Agreed
sweet
Good underwater footage...
Thanks Todd! This lake is amazing for water clarity. Going do few underwater videos out there this ice season. Stay tuned!
Nice video,i see you catched some perches!😉
Thanks. Yes that all would bite that day. Lot of good walleyes looking. Check out my latest vids.
I just got the same camera this weekend at the ice show. Tried it out today at Minnetonka and it was so fun.
How thick is the ice in the cities right now?
Awesome! I love this camera. Great quality and small unit which is nice to travel with. Makes it a lot of fun or frustrating like this video lol. Good luck out there!
@@johnnybecker2274 It varies. I have been on a metro lake with 4-5" inches and some have only a thin layer. I'll probably be out this week on some metro lakes and Ill make a report.
@chris w ... isn't that' the same Minnetonka prince was talking about lol
@@pixar28 Probably. He's from Minnesota
Is this the first time you went walleye fishing? Brutal
lol...Mine as well been.
Some of those fish that really don’t want to eat try pounding the bottom and making a dust cloud
I did try that a few times on this day. Maybe some of these fish would have bit if different bait/method, but looks like alot were more curious than anything. Either way, ice season will be here soon enough and ill get another crack at this!
try a whole minnow with very little weight. Wiggle on bottom then pop it and let it fall. Or a fake minnow.
Maybe whole minnow could of helped. Had one on a bobber in the other hole and never went down. Thought for sure they take it.
It amazes me how many refuse the bait - if you didn't have electronics you'd think there were no walleye in the lake........
lol.... Right! too funny how that works sometimes.
I find most walleye arent as aggressive. Buddy always catches the fat walleye with just gumball jig and minnow I use that gold spoon your using just the difference is I got alot less movement. And they still take the dead stick over the slightly moving spoon. Good video tho I like see these cause then you might find a new hook to use or a new trick.
Thanks man! Ya they sure weren't aggressive this day but I have had some days where they want that fast jigging. I couldn't believe my deadstick never went down with all this action.
@@BryanProkuski it is nice to see how they are acting so then you can see somewhat how to work em
U said Aquavue camera which one? Those are great images
This one is the Revolution 5.0 Pro. You should see the images of my new HD camera.
I enjoyed watching this video!
Well thank you, Stay tuned for more.
Fishing With Bryan Prokuski I subbed immediately ;)
@@ReelMichiganAnglers Appreciate it!
That was cool! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed.
You are scaring them away.
Dang finicky walleyes
Interesting under water.
Thanks! Stay tuned for more.
not sure if u ever realized, but ur bobber was down for a good 2 minutes. not sure if u reeled it up but she wasnt floating
You talking about laying on its side or down?
at 9:40 when the perch was caught
@@austinnelson2978 Well I'll be.. I think you might be right. Probably a perch but surprised no one caught that yet. Nice eyes!
after fishing my whole life I notice little things like that. wouldve been nice for u to double up though. keep producing the quality content 👍
at 4:00 you should have held the bait completely dead and a small twitch here and there. He wanted it and you spooked him with that erratic jig
Looks like a ton of other comments as well. But ya interesting video we can all learn from! On this specific day the dead pause would have worked, other days your aggressive jig would have triggered them.
U scare so many fish away by jerking ur lure up when there is a fish by try tapping the rod with ur finger
Dam dude the perch taste just as well, give me 25 nice perch of 10” I’m very happy, our limit is 50, we can keep 8 Walleye as small as 13” but we keep only 18 to 22” smaller or bigger we set loose.
Perch does taste good. Would be nice to find a school of 10s! Up north perch run big like that. but where I live now just dinks.
@@BryanProkuski I wasn’t aware, that perch were smaller in different areas, I always thought they were babies. I should have known that, because I herd the same about our white tail deer, from people that live in Florida. At one time, we use to get many perch, of 12” or even a little bigger, but that was the late 70ies and early 80ies. The perch at that time looked like small walleye, there wasn’t a limit, at that time. The big fish were fished out, before the DNR wised up. Today the perch that we get are mostly 10” and under. 10”, 12” is a luxury for the average fishermen. We get our share of small perch also, I thought that is healthy. The big perch are in the deeper water in the summer, when you get lucky, we hit the big perch.
You should put one of them perch on a tip up good bait for walleye. I've got a lot of walleye on perch. Big ones to. Match the hatch .you can get anything on a perch.
We can't use perch as bait in MN. But I bet it would work great! Lots of them in this lake. Probably one of their main food sources.
Just use the flasher and camera three holes middle for flasher. Have the 4th hole for the camera. I just put the camera close to me. Watch flasher until something come in, and then check the cam. Nice vid man
Thanks. Great tip! I'll keep that in mind.
“What am I doing wrong?” You’re fishing for walleyes!
lol... So True!
Walleyes are the best though
@@harrylarry3456 They are fun when you are on them
You CAN NOT target walleye on lake milelacs it is illegal according to Minnesota state law
Show me where you see that regulation...
Jordan Blommer after looking a couple days ago looks like the dnr changed the walleye regulations as of December 1st saying you may keep one walleye sorry for the mis understanding
Yup, they changed it to 1 walleye for ice fishing
Your commentary is fun....your a little wild maybe to aggressive... Leeches are great.
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it! Ya I am are of the aggressive approach. I'll be back out next couple weekends for them. Hopefully get some redemption videos for you guys.
Just to aggressive with some of the eyes, rookie mistakes. It ok
Agreed. They liked the aggressive to call in but not for eating. Don't worry I'm a bass fisherman ;)
Don’t use a camera when fishing for eyes on that lake trust me from experience you’re much better off going less than 10 feet on rocks and sight fishing them through your hole you’ll have a blast at dawn and dusk. I have over 35 years experience doing this. For perch a camera is a must to keep little ones at bay but eyes don’t like them one bit. If you’re going to use camera for eyes put it down a hole as far as possible from the one you’re fishing out of.
Fishing With Bryan Prokuski constructive criticism here someone once gave me. Don’t change what you were doing that brought that fish in when it comes in it came in for a reason stop it as soon as he noses it. Jig it same pace an if ya gotta bring it up some do that but never change the speed. Hope this helps!
Walleyes are a predator fish they’re curious to what’s going on but doesn’t mean they’re going to eat it...
Steven Meier never heard of someone sightfishing for walleye before
Hell ya brother keep it up 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks man, will do!
Those fish were mostly negative, not interested in feeding... It’s not really your fault.
Maybe slowing down would help, or just stopping completely, but most of comments saying that wouldn’t have caught them either. Negative walleyes are tough.
I agree with you. Could of been more still at points but these walleyes were more curious this day then hungry.
DO TROUT NEXT PLEASE it would be awesome to see them attack your bait underwater
Trout are a lot of fun with the camera. I already have done couple videos. They come in like sharks, it's crazy. Trout opener for ice fishing isn't until January here in MN so have to wait but I'll probably head up again this year for another adventure. Here is my latest trout video: ua-cam.com/video/gqCnLxnkjYI/v-deo.html
@@BryanProkuski awesome brother :) the camera work is great
@@yeahokbuddy2510 Thanks man. Appreciate the comment!
Need another rod with a little crappie minnow you can change up.quick
Ya might have taken it. I had a minnow on bobber down whole time and never went down, amazed me. Figured that is what they wanted. I'll be back for redemption.
nice trip
Thanks! Next time hoping I connect with them .
when they come in just leave it still not so much movement
Gonna try that next time.
Use a jig
What is the jig your using? I'm a beginner
I was using a Lindy Rattle Flyer.
Don't jig line when fish is besides it!!!
not laughing at the misses, just being envious, I live in Arkansas but will be there on the first for 5 days.
lol. Awesome, that will be fun. Do you come up often? I think living down south and coming up for ice fishing must be pretty cool/different unless you grew up around here.
@@BryanProkuskiI was born in Moose Lake 73 years ago , moved to the cities when I was a toddler and left for the military when I was 17. I have moved a lot but always came to visit, still have relatives, stayed lots on cove bay. Just got reinterested in ice fishing again when I spent time in the hospital, had nothing to do so I bought a lot of stuff on line and decided 2 years ago I better get to using it before it's to late. I live on Bull Shoals lake and about a mile from the White River so I always have summer fishing. I take advantage of winter fishing when I can.
@@andyanderson6668 Cool, so your familiar with the area and sounds like you got some ice gear you need to bust out this season. Goodluck when you come up. Its coming up soon. Hope you get on them!
@@andyanderson6668 Thanks for serving Andy! God Bless The United States Military!
Great video what camera are you using? I am thinking of getting one.
Thanks Joe, glad you enjoyed! The cameras is an Aqua Vu Revolution 5.0 Pro.
@@BryanProkuski thanks for the reply Bryan . Keep the videos coming! Joe
@@joesilverbliss1721 Will do!
Nice camera footage. Imo. I think you should had down size and change color.
Thanks! Agreed, should of changed more and downsized. Had lots of opportunities. I'll be back.
Wayyyy to agressive, youd think after 3 misses youd stop pulling it so high off the bottom, play in that mud keep it 6 inches off bottom no more. Movement will attract them but they will only actually hit it when it sits still for that 3 seconds between jigs.
Great video you got a subscriber here! Less agressive, stay close to that bottom!
Thanks! Ya I heard the aggressive comment a few times on this video. I'll take your advice and try it out, slow and close. It amazed me that deadstick never went down with all that action.
Lake McDonald's. Home of the quarter pounder.
lol
Try a pk spoon 1/4 oz size 2 to 3 foot rips to get the fish to come in then when they come in shake the rod tip violently and I don't use bait when I do this when shaking the spoon do it 3 to 4 ft off bottom they will crush it right idea wrong lure
About the only guy here that agreed with the jiggin lol. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try sometime!
@@BryanProkuski I'm up there now I fish out of agate bay resort and me and my dad did 30 fish on Saturday doing that then they started to get a little "shy" so we had to tone it down a little lost 3 eyes that were huge and we couldn't get them off the bottom and then got one to the bottom of the ice and it had to be close to 32 inches long ran just under the hole and stuck the hook in the ice and straitened it
@@Jrdienst Dang... losing them big fish is always heartbreaking. Pretty cool you guys till had a 30 fish day though. Nothing better then fishing with the old man. I'm hoping to get on one of those bites soon up there.
Hoping to get out there this weekend...
Goodluck if you do!
There’s supposed to be jumbos in Mille Lacs
Perch.. Ya I have heard that too.
maybe it was a color thing did you change it up much??
Just to that gold spoon. Should of kept changing it but they never even took my dead stick once which most people thought is what they wanted. Never know with them wallys. Guess they were just very picky. Front was moving in also.
Way, way to jerky and aggressive, those fish look very lethargic, they wouldn't want to move around a lot for food. Bottom bounce, let it sit. Jig it, and let it sit
Ya they liked it for calling in but not what they wanted for eating. I'll be back up stay tuned!
@@BryanProkuski bring them in with the action, but when smaller bait fish see a predator, they try and hide. Try and recreate that, good luck on the up coming season.
9:48 bobber is gone. ?
Looks like it. Never noticed it but had another guy point that out as well..... nice eyes :)
What brand of underwater camera is that?
This video is was a Aqua Vu Revolution Pro 5.0 Pro.
Thank you
How would this work with a river current?
Did you have a guide or a tip from someone to fish where you were at or did you just pick a spot? Also did you walk out or take an atv/snowmobile? Never been to Mille lacs and would like to go and pick a spot but I always seem to pick dead zones on every other lake I fish!
I just walked out and picked a spot and fished. This time of year early ice like this fishing the first break anyone on the lake is good. Once we get more ice and people start moving around the fish will probably go deeper and be harder to locate. Don't worry I have had plenty of dead zones days, its just fishing! Hope you go up there and have some luck!
What part of the lake? Hoping to get out by Garrison ASAP
West side. I saw report of people walking out to first break at Garrisons already and with the next few day temps I would say we are good to go out there.
What kind of structure would you recommend for early ice on Mille lacs. Looking to get out there one of these next two weekends
Early ice like this the first break is plenty good for me. Once we can get further out on the lake I will be looking for more structure and reef lines that could be holding fish.
DJ Spears Rocks and you don’t have to go far out on west end of lake to find them. Myr Mar is a good starting point
Don't listen to this guy...he obviously cant get walleye to commit...you want rocky bottom...jig aggresivly to draw them in and a fast wiggle to finalize it...
tloutfitter you’re absolutely correct on how to get the walleyes on the big pond. By far most effective 👍
tloutfitter You may be right but you’re also a jerk. There’s better ways to get your point across than being a rude ass.
I enjoyed the video. Sad you put back perch like that but to each there own.. The camera is good for us to see the live action. Not the fish. You see the camera the fish do not.. Best of luck out there anyway
Glad you enjoyed, the camera is really nice to see the whats going on down there. I have had a lot of fun with this season so far, been learning a lot! Thanks and good luck to rest of season too!
I don't see any other live eatable item in the water that acts like the lure. So why would the fish be interested in hitting the lure. Maybe a less movement, different color. As any fly fisherman would say--"match the hatch". Thanks for the video. I have the same camera. It stopped working after one use!! Very disappointing. They sent me a used one to replace it.
Ya match the hatch is always a great slogan to live by. Every time I drop the camera on this lake i never even see any food source around but perch. Bummer your aqua vu situation. They make good products too. Or least in my experience so far.
Great learning tool, eh?
Amazing learning tool. Should check out my latest videos.
When there not biting the they dont bite....just saying
Well said
I have an ice house on mill lacs but what point are you at?
I was on the west side first break but that was early ice only foot traffic so im sure they have been pushed out deep by now.
Ok nice we have ours more north so do you plan on going again this winter
Hoping to head up this weekend.
Slow your presentation down
I've been hearing that. I'll be back this weekend for them. I'll take all this advice and see if It works.
What happened to the bobber 9:39?
Right! I never saw this. I just had someone last week for first time call it out. Man all these views and only 2 people caught that. Nice eyes ;) Not sure what happen probably perch took it and ran.
Dude calm down. That bait doesn’t even look natural at all when its bouncing crazy like that too!
Ya it got their attention but not what they wanted to eat.
Fishing With Bryan Prokuski noooo you spooked them bud
Where did ya go out of?
West side. Parked on road and walked out.
get some good fish with cat eyes.
Can't go wrong with some fish eyes!
You need to pause and let him take it. Less movement. Slower.
When they come up close to barely jig they will bite your scaring them
Ya going try that moving forward
This comment is so wrong haha
leave your bait alone man...holly
lol.. I have been hearing that, next time
Great fish porn, maybe our ice in lower Michigan will be thick enough in a week.
Thanks! Hope you get ice soon and goodluck when you do!
Slow it down. Too aggressive.
Ya heard that a few times in the comments. Definitely should of though but they still looked super finicky.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.....way too much jigging. Where did you learn to fish? Way way too much. I've been ice fishing for 45 years bro...
lol..I'm a bass fisherman. That should explain it. I had some moments were just let it chill but didnt seem to want that either. Maybe could of let it sit longer. I'll be back this weekend out there, maybe ill have a good redemption vid for you all.
@@BryanProkuski bring a bass fisherman doesn't explain it...regardless what species you're fishing jig fast like that to bring them in... obviously they don't commit
@@tloutfitters The bass fisherman comment is too be funny. I have add days out there that they blast it when fast jigging. but yes that did it was not the trick.
More hook changes my dude.....
Yup, should of
The bait/lure wasn't the issue. I'm not saying you shouldn't change up what you're throwing at them if you keep having fish come in, give it a look, not bite, and swim off. I agree that most times that happens it's very prudent to tie on something new and keep doing it until you land on one that they're more prone to bite.
In this case, it wasn't the lure. What deterred them from taking it was how you were presenting the lure to them once they came in and paused to take a closer look. If you had held it in front of them as motionless as you could after they got up to it, stopped, and were staring at it.....you would have hooked the majority of the fish that wouldn't bite as you aggressively jigged it while pulling it up. Most walleye guys are talking in inches if they say to pull it up one or two if a fish didn't bite after holding it still for them. You were frantically pulling it up one or two when they wanted to give the standard look before biting....one or two feet.
So I agree that changing lures isn't bad advice when they're coming in for a look see but won't commit and take it. In this instance however.....I'm confident that you could have tied on a couple dozen different lures, the most popular ones---the sams as the guides and guys that are hammering them are using, and even if you tied on "Magic Lure X" that was the one Mille Lacs walleyes were biting like no other that day......even then I honestly don't think it would have done anything that would've changed you from having the exact same results the lure that was used ended up producing.
Just my $.02 trying to help the dude who knows how to make a great video catch more fish since.
Tight Lines---Keep it Reelz!
@@mattjones8806 Another great comment Matt! I appreciate your 2 cents and will take this advice for next time they are being stealthy. Going up again tomorrow. Hope to find another school of them to try some tricks on. Stay tuned.
Classic overworking a bait
The abrupt dress generally multiply because sidewalk lamentably bomb vice a known frown. strong, quiet price
well alright then
This video is so frustrating
lol... Those walleyes were frustrating.
stop mumbling!
Iol.. I'll try not to next time.
