 Good morning guys. It is day number three. I guess down here on Subego Lake It is a little bit after 530 we're holding right at three degrees right now It's supposed to warm up quite a bit today and be a nice day looking forward to that We're probably gonna be in a shack most of the day. We're doing a little hole hopping mostly tog fishing Well, I should say all tog fishing Subego Lake if you haven't seen my first episode on this I'll tell you a little bit about Subego Lake. It is 45 square miles 316 foot deep average depth for the lake is over a hundred foot deep Crystal clear water. It's the drinking water for all of Portland and beyond It's the second biggest lake in the state of Maine There are several military planes on the bottom of this lake Whereas they used to train here for World War two flying over the lake and had a couple mid-air Collisions with the British Corsairs and a couple others ditched it in the lake and they're still in the lake kind of neat Subego Lake was home to the largest landlocked salmon in the entire world 22 pounds and they figure they got in here naturally when the ocean covered this area and Just stayed in here and then that's how there was a landlocked salmon population Even named after Subego and then the state started managing the population and decided for some reason To bring tog in here, which is also known as lake trout in 1972 They stocked this lake with lake trout the lake trout quickly outcompeted the salmon on the salmon's largest prey Which is the rainbow smelt and the tog were decimating the smelt population Also eating the salmon as well and tog aren't quite the game fish that salmon are especially here in the state of Maine Pretty much the salmon fisheries rule in here now In the winter, you're not allowed to target salmon. If you catch one by accident, you're not even allowed to lift it out of the water 10 or 15 years ago somehow or They were stuck L. Wives got into the lake to take the pressure off of the smelt population and The tog population just boom even bigger after that because they really concentrate on the L. Wives now There's very few smell and the L. Wives are down near the bottom where the tog like to live and feed as well So the primary forage now of the tog are the L. Wives The state wants to manage the lake again for salmon By having the fishermen do the work of getting all of the tog out of the lake So anything under I think 23 inches the state asks all anglers to kill all of the tog under 23 inches it's caused a lot of controversy. There's a lot of fish left on the ice. There's really messy that feedin the eagles Which isn't good for the eagles either to feed them because you know what happens in a couple years when there's None of these fish are left on the ice because they've been fished out You know now you got a bunch of eagles who've been raised on being fed and not feeding for themselves And it's bad when you feed wildlife. That's pretty well known So there's quite a bit of controversy on the management plan now You know puts the fishermen to the task to do the managing for the state of Maine and fix a mistake that They had made years ago and there's a lot of guys like myself who were raised to not Kill something unless you're going to eat it or use it lake trout aren't the best eating fish You know, they're they're really good smoked. I kind of like them baked You know, but how many fish can I eat and then the other thing is if I leave here and I got a trunk full of lake trout Say I keep 10 15 20 30 whatever I keep now I have to answer to that game official when he checks my truck and I'm over the state limit on lake trout Which I believe is to I can double-check that too. It could be as many as five. No, it's two I think so you're allowed to legally have two in your possession And I leave here with 20 30 40 50 even a hundred lake trout And or I stock my freezer and I got five in my freezer and the game words check my freezer And all of a sudden I'm over my limit on those I got some spining to do Hopefully you got a good warden that understands that so bago has some different laws on lake trout than the rest of the state Even though I don't live in the so bago area. I'd have to explain that to that game And you know also the other thing is a lot of people come to so bago to catch the numbers of lake trout I had a buddy that could catch He could catch 201 day on a jig rod no traps and he was in anywhere from 120 to 180 foot deep Which was pretty amazing. I mean that in itself is awesome. They were all solid fish You know over three pounds, but the management plan. I don't know, you know, I don't know what to think of it You know people say trust your biologist But they also said that 1972 when they were stocking this with lake trout and it completely decimated the Salmon population, so I'm not a big thruster of our biologists. Sorry biologists if you're watching this I know you watch the channel. I'm not a biologist myself I'm just a fisherman that has seen things go well for and poorly in our bodies of waters And I've seen some plans not work and I've seen a ton of money being spent for plans that don't work we have a Seems like the plan in Maine is that's how it's always been and that's really not a good management plan But getting off my high horse here a lot of the guides I've talked to down here are Already missing the fish people come To some a go to catch a pile of fish with a chance to get a great big toad But it's also fun to spend eight ten hours on the ice catch 2030-40 fish whereas if you're killing Thousands and thousands thousands of fish on these derbies or these kill days all of a sudden you're not seeing the The amount of fish being caught that you used to in the size is basically staying the same I'm gonna tell you guys right now as other fishermen who likes the bagel you Will never ever have an open season on salmon Don't believe that They're killing the toad to save the salmon fishery that is going to benefit you and you're gonna be able to fish salmon That's not the way it works no matter how many toad we kill out of here In our lifetime We're never gonna be able to fish salmon out here unless they drastically change their current plan the current plan is to get rid of Enough toad to let the salmon thrive the salmon thrive and now all of a sudden you have a season on them Not gonna happen. It's I can tell you right now. That's not being negative. It's just being realistic You know how many years would it take to get this toad population down? There's millions of toad in this lake how many years would it take to really get it now low enough for the Salmon to thrive how many years would it take for the salmon to thrive again? And you still have toga in the lake that are naturally reproducing you guys be the judge of that yourself You guys are all fishermen as well. Some of you are biologists, too So be really interesting to see in the comments what you guys think about that, but me I for one not one to Catch something that's living or hunt for something that's living and kill it And then just waste it leave it there not do anything with it That's not how I was raised. So I let everything go Couple pieces of sausage in there Well, that's breakfast today. That's my little spiel on Subego Lake I'm here to catch toga. I'm here to try to catch numbers of toga yesterday Brandon and I put 18 topside we did a little jumping around we lost some We probably could have put like 25 topside actually we put 19 I caught that one last night cast fishing his dad and Joel put I think 16 topside so we got a two-toed lead on those guys and we're having a little competition Those two versus two which is fun always to have competition of fishing and it kind of drives you to try to catch that next one And not taking that like while you're fishing. All right breakfast looking good nothing special pretty much the basics Hammer that you can catch some dough. All right looking good this morning Oh got a different eagle in the nest. We're in the tree today Right there must be a popular perching spot a Couple more shacks out there today Good morning fellas How many are we down? Okay, cool? How you guys doing? Good. How's your ride out? Nice Jelly this morning you guys ready to catch some fish. Oh, yeah, baby nice It smells a lot better in this shack than the other one. Yeah Cool. Oh, it's awesome. We had a we had a really good time. We didn't get anything big, but geez I don't know how many we got three six eight or more. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it was pretty fast and furious Every 15 minutes we checked and we had at least one flag every time Caught one on a sounder on the first drop. Yeah, very first drop drop my sound caught one couldn't believe it Did you get that on camera? I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I hope so. I can't even remember Cool. Well, we're gonna have some fun today. Oh, yeah mark and fish already. Oh, nice So there's still some here beautiful. All right guys. If you need anything just holler.

Yeah, he just texted it. So I need reinforcements. I need a little moral support over there I swear, I forgot how to catch them You had five good hits even halfway up and just can't look up today. You caught a real nice one. Did you? Yeah suspended real almost black. Oh nice There it is. Beautiful Yeah, those ones up high seem to be pretty dark, don't they? Yeah I was checking your snowmobile yesterday. I left my pole just like this. Yeah came in and I caught that one I don't even know where it was That's hilarious bottom or not Oh, man. Yeah, cool. Well, I'll go get him. Are you Anna? Yeah, your uber ice has arrived I'm here to give you a ride. Yeah Oh, yeah, I'm Joe Oh, nice. Yeah, I heard right next to me.

Oh, you are Have fun Yeah, no problem right now your dad's that other tent's got eight Yeah, we got some work to do they're biting though. I think they cut my hook off Your uber ice has arrived Look at that just found that in the ice Full pack. Nice. I'm gonna put those on today and see if see if that changes anything Yeah, you're not doing too hot. I haven't started yet. I'm a late bloomer Right give him a head start we we beat the old men down yesterday pretty good. They were upset Those guys are on their slut. No, it's oh, yeah, yeah, yeah It shook out here like the electronics set up it's set array down the electronics even move You're not kidding Because 930 from about five to nine it was the loudest you've ever heard out here. There you go. He's hooked up This will get you on the on the youtube video if you want let's go. Yeah Land them. I'll put a pressure on you. Oh, no pressure. No pressure. He doesn't feel as big as the last Who knows though, maybe he'll start going crazy A lot better day than yesterday, yeah Now we got time don't worry about it Yeah, you got to keep them coming They're a 14 Long ways off, isn't it? I was saying there you go bud like pull them right out. I was saying yesterday I was out with my uh hand auger my shoulders feeling it From hand augering all day yesterday and now i'm pulling this guy out for my 160 feet Little got a little fella right there. Nice. Good job, buddy. Back he goes. Thank you Oh, no wrong way bud. Get down there hit the beeper There we go Good job. Good job. We'll be right over there guys if you need anything. Thank you It was pretty ripe in here this morning, but I threw two inches of water over the entire thing First one hooked up. I just need a little moral support Brandon came out Brandon came out. So I decided to hook up Popped him off bottom. He doesn't feel very big. He's probably average You could see a long way down there so clear All right, we're at our leader. Thanks. We're on the board. Put a piece of sucker on that one. I know I actually might have a couple All right, I'm on the board. Oh, he sees that. Get him. Get him What? Oh, oh, he sees it. Yeah, he sees it now. What just happened? He didn't want nothing to do with it. Oh, you know what that was Silver silvery perch silvery perch That's your second one, Joe? Yeah, number two's on. Dead stick on bottom or are you moving? No, I was popping. Yeah, I was just bouncing lightly Yeah, it's a pretty light bite today. Wicked light The other guy, this camera had freaking wrapping on the solo wheel a little bit Goes right next to a bunch of shacks and does that for a couple hours. That's tiny That was like the one you caught yesterday. That was like your average yesterday Last year, I don't know, we ice We had a couple of days we aced over a hundred fish in the day and then This year, you're lucky if you get, you know 20 30 as a group So this this year has been a lot different than last year at Prypas Last year they were telling us to kill all the togans to beg a lake and I think guys actually realized we need to let them go and The sand and pipeline, she's never really going to come back because of the amount of toga in here So you're just better off just letting them all go again Now we're gonna stay, he's pretty small Got this one dead sticking on the bottom Been a pretty pretty slow bite today. What do you got two Joe? Yeah, this is my first one two top side and eight or nine other hits Small ones today Freaking You going to double that? Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Yep. You can't buy that for Yeah a little football This little guy You're in the togphob. I wonder the size we're looking for but it's a fish Chase that. Yeah, that's the first one we had to chase up. It's a good sign It's a little bigger than that last one I caught Two of them like three minutes off. Hmm. It's that time of day though. Let me just start the kitchen this time. Yeah, he's not very good The president by bait stayed on Number two for me another dink. Well, he's all in my chair. No Wait a hellhook or something Feels funny. Yeah, it feels a little funny. Feels decent if he's not How do you hit that on the bottom? Yeah, I was like just bouncing it like a pinch on the bottom He smoked it. That's why I don't think I got him too good, but Let's see. Let's see a little better fish. Yeah, it feels better unless he's fell hooked. He might be hooked under the chip Under the jaw. Yeah, that happens a little Double up. That'll be a little number. Be nice if some bigger ones won't do it. Just take me a little longer, you know Like, all right. Oh, it's a big one. It is. Yeah, just barely hooked. It's a good one. You got him. Oh, nice Here's a good one guys Nice laker. All right. Give me a good fight. I know. I was just thinking that we would have been out there moving around That size is easier to catch because they actually bite We got 12 You got 12? Yeah, all the bait's back. Yeah Son of a gun. You guys are putting that hurtin on us Fish five is screwing us all. How many you got? Uh, this this'll make Six You got a little catching up to do it. Yeah, well, yeah, what do we have two or three buffer on you yesterday? Three Yeah, it was 15-18. Yeah, and we're not counting that one. I caught last night. Did he tell you that? Oh, you got one? Yeah, I want a trap. Oh, I told you. Yeah, a pretty decent one. 20 for the water. Yeah. Oh, wow On his lucky day real quick Uh, Joel caught a nice one. Did he? Yeah He's about to have a good day We haven't been getting good ones. Mine was yeah mine was mine was three pounds. It was probably five Oh, you got five pounder? Yeah, Joel did. Joel. Nice. Yeah. Is that his biggest one? No, he's got a couple of them that were You're probably pushing seven. I don't think you know me They're thin rubber gloves are like Seeing in the rubber. Yeah, I'll see you. Yeah, you can hold the thing. What is that? That looks like a shiner. Yeah That makes I four you have two. So we got 27 Including Yesterday, okay You're between you two? Yeah, when's the last time you put them over your knee and spanked on this bet? I leave that to his little brother His little brother choked him out made him tap out. I leave all the dirty work. No way. He's younger. No way Dylan tapped him out. Yeah, okay Oh, man, that's gonna be on youtube and everything. That wasn't bad That's not what I heard. So Dylan Dylan does all my dirty work for me Uh, I'm I'm getting ready to put go put his fish finder in the hole next to you. Oh, there's a spender fish. Oh, come come come Yeah, all the ones that I have suspended they hit instantly as soon as you get up to him. Yeah Yeah, these ones are he's he's been over five suspended. I think this one should let me try it Oh, here we go. He never lets me try though. What the hell? See he disappeared. No, he's still there. He just goes right by him Yeah, we were actually gonna just move. Yeah, and then he caught he caught one And then I missed one and then the wind picked up. Yeah, they're here because There you go. I mean the fish finder's just crazy. This thing's got a lot of interference going on. I'm coming down past you, bud All right. Okay. Well, we'll try to catch up There goes the shack CJ's shack is flying across the lake. I think Anna was in it Brandon just took a rip on my snowmobile to try to go catch the thing Sidway's yesterday. Ha ha blow like a sieve out there. I just chased two five gallon buckets down the lake and There's shack Was somebody in that shack? Yeah, Anna She was she was in that shack when it took off What happened out there, bud? Ah Well, the Subega Lake does The wind has picked up and she's going Sidway's Really Sidway's out there straight Sidway's and one of her buddies had a small auger It just went for a ride. Was she in it? She was in it and then she wasn't real quick. She jumped out Well, no, it just took right off overhead with like quarter amount on the lake. Oh my gosh Luckily you're said you're sled rip. So yeah, uh, did you get ahead of it? Yeah, and there's another five gallon bucket some guys are chasing so I got I got ahead of that with that thing because they're on one of those like One of those things those john dears And they were sliding everywhere. Oh really like a eater. Yeah, yours is all those picks and everything. So Look at that delivery. That's uh, Mike. Wow, that's back straps from Haley's deer. Holy cow. Yeah Wow, thank you so much for the delivery if you need more just let me know because I'm cooking up two more packages. Wow, that's good Wow, thank you. Yeah, how many you guys at? So sex I've been chasing down shacks and buckets pass out right where you got your 13. Yeah, we gotta make make up some ground I might have to park the snow be all over here block the wind Oh, uh-oh If I wind gets under it, we're in trouble. Yeah here. Yeah, let's do a readjust Okay, we also Empty lines down there I brought the good luck John Good, we could use it. We are getting I don't want to hit her right now. He's gonna blow up. I'm gonna jack. Is that I could feel the heat coming off I shook off 12 fish because I know if I call more this head would explode. I can't shake them off any longer now I mean if the egg can only do so much right if I if I had a fish it's gonna get jacked They got 18 over here They just popped left and right I got one bite Last two bites I had was just barely holding up on just feeling the pressure That was the last bite I have we've been bringing them up to like less than a hundred foot And they just they'll stop I think when I was gone he had went up to a 50 Yeah, he came from 130 to 50 feet But it could all change in a heartbeat. Yeah, I would take a second It was about this time yesterday. I caught five in about yeah, that's true. Yeah Yeah, he'd be galling googly eyes looking at that thing My eyes are hurt looking at this thing. I can't believe you didn't talk to him out of it It's what you're good about come down there. No, he's he's pretty happy with this Yeah, it's showing the fish So let me sit on the water and see if he's chasing it up Well, that's good your sports caught some I could see how guys would could zero out here pretty easy. Yeah They did five They did two right about them off the back. I know which was perfect. Yeah Time to teach somebody but they they picked it up really quick I considered lake trout fishing like turkey you know these days and You can catch them on anything just like calling it a turkey. You know some days they come in to anything On the days they don't They don't want to bite you're gonna finesse them. You're gonna work really hard at them but Just couldn't grind on it. Yeah, so beggos There you go So beggos about as tough a lake trout fisheries. I've ever seen I was trying to think I've never seen anybody else in like 160 to 180 foot of water anywhere. Have you like no like on tv or anything guys who bring it out of here like The guy yesterday had 60 feet of line on it real because he's never fished beyond 40 to 50 feet of lake trout Right. Yeah, like most places on the stage, you don't really go over 60 You've got to you've got to have a stiff rod with the backbone. You got to have online Yeah, so like mine are 36 medium heavy, which is I wouldn't go any lighter than that And I'm thinking like the 34 the 40 heavy Even 30s or 40 inch heavy Would be the weapon here. I run 140 inch heavy 40 inch heavy Yeah, especially when you start to get beyond 160. Yeah, you really need back a lot of guys Think they need a leader here. Yeah, and I fish right beside people that do you go straight brain straight That's what brand was saying. He knew somebody else Yeah, that's because I'm Don't even eat it I'll catch just as many or more. Yeah, then the guy sitting next to me with a leader on But braids important for feeling that sensitivity. Yeah, and no stretch at this distance. Oh, you can't I've seen people try to Set the hook of monofilament. Oh It's not much more than a crappy bite on something. No, it's like this I've got crappy and perch hit way harder than this. Yeah, it's just a little And you got to be quick too always tell people it's what you don't feel Yeah, you know a lot of times going down or if you've got your jig just sitting off the bottom and you just Just tickling the tip to feel the The weight of the jig And you don't feel it anymore It's time to like feel for the pressure and set the hook. You've got to do it all at the same time That's a hard thing to teach. Yeah, sure it is Shacks are huge important. Try to fish out in the wind and try to feel a light bite You can't do it so they would have been brutal and a lot of the guys don't know like when your Line goes slack. Right. They don't know the fish just lacked it. Yeah, Anna. Were you in that shack when it took off today? Oh, yeah How long did you ride it out? Oh, no, so it knocked me off my seat and then there I am just sitting on the ice There goes the shack and nobody was there to watch it. I was like we saw the shack about halfway across the lake I'm talking to you guys. I turned around. She's like That's awesome. The shack was right 200 yards down the lake. Yeah, it knocked my head off and everything It was just like I sat and knocked my head off and everything was flying. That wind came up quick That was not 5 to 10. No, no, that was way more than 5 to 10. That was blowing straight sideways That happened my buddy Eagle Lake except, uh, He was trying to go to the bathroom. Oh, no So he's sitting there his pants are right down there He's holding on to him. Oh my goodness, my buddy said a flight. Oh, we were dying That was great But like I can't see wasting You know when these catch and kill contests where they're like killing 3000 like a week or a day Yeah Like like you fished a bag a lot longer than I have What have you have you seen like a major decline in the fishing or all bad? Yeah, I mean we used to go Yeah, and you boat trolling and I boat trolling we fished from like 6 to 11 You know, it's not a long day But that's when people start to wake up and the wake boats and everybody gets out there skiing and it's rough And it's not a lot of fun. So we leave so that's judge my hours on 6 to 11 You'd go out there in that amount of time Nitro a kind of finicky and they stop biting about 8. So let's just say 8 to 11 Yeah And you boat 20 fish like nothing wow and have a good time doing it You know people you bring your friends and you bring their friends friends and you bring your baseball team Which we've done a couple times. No way real. That's awesome. You know we come out have a great time And then in just one year Between the ice fishing last winter, which was phenomenal And was being pushed to kill everything that landed on the ice So I don't know how many thousands like I came let's just say thousands We're Taken out of this lake just the nice fishing alone, you know the derby Get into the thousands out of again. I don't know the exact number. I've been told different numbers, but Yeah, it's changed a lot. I mean you really guys not catching the numbers this day was catching last People's best days out here right now. I'm here and I you guys have won 60 fish today As a group. Yeah as a group, you know, it's not they did They're destroying it. It's too bad because they finally did it even if it was inadvertently by accident. They did something great Yeah, we had three days over a hundred fish last year. All right, so All right, let's let's do the total. How'd you guys end up? 17 today 17 out of that jack We had what do we have like 18? Yesterday We did not have a We got a hand to it the bago turned into slow bago for us or a sea bagel We we did terrible. We didn't catch them Nothing we can say about it. We got our butts beat hired by these two gentlemen here. Congratulations guys. He will pay you your hundred dollars Thank you. Hope you drop one. He will pay you. Thanks. Thanks for the weapon No, you're in here. Yeah, he'll pay you the hundred for both of us Yeah But we still had a great time guys as far as um year for this I'll show you the rods and reels, but we're mostly using heavy Uh clam makes a really nice rod for under 40 dollars And we're using heavy to medium heavy rods anywhere from 40 to 40 inches down to 34 inches is the short one Um braid you can go straight to your hook You know, I got that from a guy who catches a lot of fish here or you could go to a fluorocarbon leader And you can get away with 10 pound if you want. This is the That's the 34 heavy right there Spending the year anything that could hold a lot of line because if you're fishing at 180 plus feet, you know You've got to be able to get down to these fish Looking good You got us today, but you won't get us again. You might get us again After the beat down today, we can't even talk. You can't even talk smack. I can't do the amount of fish that Chase my lure but wouldn't have I mean sometimes that's just the way it goes. It's just the difference between a finicky bite and You know being able to catch them I'm gonna finish with cj tomorrow Somewhere Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll do I'm till till there's no ice. I'm gonna go hard. I'll do moose head um Maybe another chamberlain a west grand an east grand and then after that, I don't know All right, buddy, what do you think the recap for two days jigging tog on Subega, what would you tell people that are coming here to try to jig tog? This is a guy that's caught Probably 700 tog last year jigging and you're over a hundred this year, right? Yeah Uh, this year the fishing is definitely harder You know a lot more dead sticking a lot less chasing these could be more patient I mean last year you would drop it down and you're just getting wailed every time. Yeah But I don't know traps or not unless you're fishing shallow I wouldn't use traps put the traps away Yeah, so tough day you took a beat and you owe your dad a hundred and Joel a hundred I only got two. What'd you get more? Yeah, I just got twice as many as you we don't have to We don't have to tell the folks at home numbers. I just got twice as many as you got How'd you do out there bud? Tough day I was marking them on the bottom Uh, but they really not doing anything. Yeah, he's made it back to the shack. I'm just starting up dinner right now gonna have Some sauteed vegetables. We're gonna have pepper that is Not a poblano not a green pepper. What is it? It's a um some weird pepper gonna have onions mushrooms Just ate up some okra. I couldn't even wait for it. I just love okra so much And then I'm gonna do the Mixed pan of deer burger all those vegetables and the thing of brown gravy. Hopefully from this decade Mix it all together saute it up and eat it because it's really good Tough day of fishing for us That was a really good example of sebego, you know yesterday we ran and I popped 18 together We lost four or five and had five or six other bites. So, you know, we had upwards of 30 bites from tog yesterday Today We struggled hard. I had a really rough morning of missing the first five or six fish and And then having a ton of chasers not committing Then I kind of got on a roll And he caught a couple and then that was it four for me two for him And that's a really good example of sebego because it could happen to the best of them I mean the best of them. I'm not talking about myself. Obviously. I'm talking about brandon There's a kid that he kind of specializes on a lot of things in ice fishing, but he comes out here and he'll catch anywhere from 600 to a thousand lake trout a year A year in a season upwards of a hundred a day Doing that same thing, you know fishing in 160 180 foot deep So he's got the touch he got the know-how and he's got the confidence And then he has a day like today where he catches two so That shows you how finicky sebego can be now his dad and joel and the other shack ended up I think was 17 or 18 So it's a good day But that's you know a lot of a lot of opportunities there as well And they probably had touches from 30 fish So it just goes to show how tough it is to jig those fish in that depth now that and especially since So many people have killed so many of those fish with the state's management plan, which I am not In favor of I think you know the 1972 No one questioned the state when they were putting toge in then And they put them in now they want the anglers to do a kill all on them and You know I've seen this lake with hundreds and hundreds of people on it enjoying catching You know three to five pound tog anywhere from 50 to 200 in a day And now it's really tough to get a bite some days. So I don't know if I like I definitely don't like it But that shows you that's why they call it slow bagel or seabaggle because it can be a big bagel for a zero But still a fun day. It's always fun when the bite's tough. It's fun when the bite's hard, you know, you got When the bite's easy, it's awesome too. It's gravy. You just drop down catch them Anybody can catch them on as hard. It does take a little bit more skill and we just weren't at that skill level We didn't have the touch and we might not have been over the right hole either It did get pretty windy when we were thinking about moving. It's crazy windy right now I don't know if you guys can hear that, but I'm gonna take you outside I might even move the snowmobile just to make sure it's away from trees when I set up the camp I always look for trees just to make sure, you know, there aren't any dead heads or widow makers or Any trees that aren't looking great that could fall on me because it is Really ripping up there. It's blowing straight sideways right now. It's definitely blowing like a sieve And the ice moved a lot today. A lot of big pressure ridges developed a lot opened up I heard the fire department got called because there was an ice fisherman stranded when On the west shore when it broke away the ice actually broke away with him on it They were able to get him off and I vaguely I heard something about somebody falling through But I don't know if that happened or not So I'm being careful pressure ridges all over the place Gonna get out of here tomorrow morning and take you guys on another new adventure with a new friend That I met today cj and Anna. I met him yesterday We fish near each other fish next to him today They run a guide service and just really really decent people that I Thoroughly enjoyed talking to and fishing near and I'm excited to fish with them tomorrow Got a little bit of a double decker going here guys. This is what you do. You stack your pans There's two pans there the bottom one's cooking in saute and all the vegetables the top one I had to defrost my dear burger. So a little double decker there It keeps the moisture in on the vegetables and it defrost the meat at the same time without really cooking it As soon as that's defrost in I'll chop it all up with a spatula mix them together throw in the brown gravy and then let it simmer Wow, she's ripping. Oh, let's see big pines look safe Still I'm gonna move the snowmobile No sense putting that right there I just want to block her block the wind from getting in under this door a little bit. I hope Yeah, she's ripping it She's still blowing like a sieve out there guys. It's pretty bad I hear the tarp going on the jets on the otter sled right now All in all Pretty fun time on sabego. I don't really have high expectation for this lake I've seen it kick out over 100 fish for a guy in a day where he dropped and caught one every single time he hit bottom for Five straight hours. It was pretty amazing And I've seen it do what it did today and even worse You know where guys get zeroed. So it's tough lake It's tough anytime you're trying to catch fish that deep and And with that much bait, you know, if you burp these fish when you get them to the top They spit out four five six seven pretty fresh outwives and Out comes the other end to the other 10 l lives in their belly. So a lot of feed for them It is two degrees above freezing That might be the highest ice fishing Report i've given you guys for temperature yet, especially at night. It is 34 degrees Tomorrow, I believe it's supposed to get up near 50. So first thing in the morning I'm peeling all this apart and taking it off the lake. The lake's getting a little weird right now Weird lake. I've seen the pressure ridges open and closed twice now since I've been here in only three nights So definitely had enough of this lake for right now and On to some greener pastures and some hopefully some pretty good crappy fishing tomorrow with cj and anna Thanks for tuning in guys If you want any info on sabego Any more That I put in the videos just feel free shoot a message or leave it in the comments and hopefully you guys like this series It was a quick one Oh pretty good Yeah How's it feeling Anna? You put a good hook set on it and everything Haha that's cool Nice one Beauty
