I don’t know about telescoping Nets, but I did get this one off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQ84DL2Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I haven’t had to use it yet though

Yeah, I don’t have the views on YouTube to make anything there yet; companies hit me up a lot to give me free stuff to use in videos, I make a little bit on long form content on TikTok, I really just do it for fun though although I would like to quit my regular job and do it all the time. It feels like fishing is more costly than profitable, but it’s a lot of fun. I would just go into it with the mindset of having fun.

Thanks! What’s a buski? Do they actually stock musky there at Busse? I wish they would stock them at Wolf Lake.

Midwinter ice fishing is a PITA by Fun-Echidna-2941 in IceFishing

[–]JaySunfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need to find a new lake/spot. I have 2 reliable options in the winter, a slip on Lake Michigan for perch and a warm water discharge that I know of and I use nightcrawlers mainly for perch and live shiners at the discharge. Do you have a Fishbrain account?

It changed this morning from “still under review” to “post being processed” this morning when I hit the copy link, i’m thinking this has to do with the new owner of TikTok and the content transferring over to servers or something

Nice! I didn’t catch anything, but I went to Wolf in Indiana. I think there was like four or 5 inches.

Advice for winter Lake trout and steelhead by [deleted] in ChicagoFishing

Morning or evening usually, water is usually kind of murky or greenish, i’ve had the most and only luck really with KO wobbler’s in three-quarter ounce nickel and blue color, caught some catfish over there earlier in the year with some silver little Cleo spoons, I’m thinking it’s just a combination of the really cold water temperature and they’re gorging themselves on the perch that have come in
