@@SimpleTek you had some beauty’s there I enjoyed the video I didn’t understand how you got to rope through to each hole the first time tho lol but very interesting
@@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.
@@michaelschnoor7594 considering there is 5 ice shacks out in front of my house the angle fishing is pretty good and you don't know what you are talking about
@@SimpleTek that was a reply to Goose218 we have already been over your netting procedures and they seem to support healthy systems. Not in Minnesota tho different story.
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.
no, they are put in with a device called a jigger. you can search UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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.
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!
@@doublea1499 it can happen but it's rare. what usually happens with novice fishermen is the nets aren't pushed properly though the hole and freeze in.
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.
@@SimpleTek sure that's just a better way to hide the fact your netting the lake clean of walleye instead of actual pickerel. You shouldnt misinform people and lead them to believe what only you think is correct. Just stating facts bud....
@@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.
If you have any questions about commercial Ice fishing on Lake Manitoba post it below!!!!!

What kinda fish ?
@@canadaeast8358 the main catch is walleye aka pickerel

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!
it was more than 3 feet in march!
cool vid i remember the days when they would set nets for walleye on lake of the woods and they still net on red lake in mn. thanks for sharing
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy you enjoyed the video.
Yea lake raping is all that is....let us provide funding for stocking so you can net them all out. Great system.

@@michaelschnoor7594 my mistake ;)
The Snoopy show❤️
hehe
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.
Oakpoint
Thanks.
I love pickerel btw, best tasting fish ever 👍🏻👍🏻
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
thank you
how do you know snoopy doesn't want a ride once in a while? do you offer him to get in with you?
When the weather got bad Snoopy rode inside. Snoopy passed away last year :(

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!
How's the fishing there this year? I ice fish a lot in that area and it's one of the slower years I've experienced
pretty good this year, 23 nets lifted, 6 tubs of walleye that day
Ever found any species you didnt know lake manitoba had?
nope
Do you guys just leave the tullibee on the ice? sort of seemed like it was just thrown to the side
depends, if it's drowed they go bad so quickly.... if fresh they can be smoked.
@@SimpleTek I need to get my hands on some of those for lake trout fishing!
@@Bigjohnson1515 I wonder if you can buy them from freshwater fish manitoba? they don't Get much money but they do by them
What's the biggest walleye you've caught with nets, open or frozen water
a really big one - didn't measure LOL
@@SimpleTek do you have a guess?
@@brokenpebble7492 not really
@@SimpleTek alright
@@SimpleTek but have you ever caught any species you didnt know lake manitoba had?
Are the nets set up before ice freezes?

Ever seen any white bears there?
Polar Bears live about 1000 miles further north
Cool video! Do the nets sit right under the ice or are they closer to the bottom of the lake? I love them old Bombardier!
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!
@@SimpleTek That's kinda what I thought. Do the nets ever freeze into the bottom of the ice?
@@doublea1499 it can happen but it's rare. what usually happens with novice fishermen is the nets aren't pushed properly though the hole and freeze in.
@@SimpleTek Thanks, I've always been really interested in how the nets under the ice work.

If that's how you treat your equipment that you so desperately need, no wonder you have the problems you do.
Tell that to the equipment‘a owner. I went along for a ride
The music wrecked the video
you're the only person to think that
The correct name for the fish is walleye, there not pickerel no matter where you are.
good luck telling that to a manitoba commercial fisherman around 11:30 at night 14 beers in
@@SimpleTek that's just drunk ignorance, those were not chain pickerel or red fin pickerel. Thus making them Sander Vitreus aka WALLEYE 👍
@@michaelschnoor7594 you can call it any scientific term you want, the locals here call it pickerel. you're not going to change that.
