BW - thanks, the "how to" instructional vids I personally most appreciate - very helpful.  Glad to hear you're vertical, getting out again and hope to see you on the ice soon.

Today was a pretty slow day. Actually the slowest day I've ever seen it this year for me. I only managed to catch about three doesn't smelt in 3 1/2 hours of fishing. The smelt were definitely all over the flasher but just didn't want to bite for some reason.

You are getting better at these instructional videos, good job love the tip about keeping the upper jig perpendicular to the line, I've been having problems with my upper jighook tangling in main line I think this will help

Good stuff, Bigwiggle.  I've been using a very similar rig... only I've been tying it the way you say *not* to.  I never bother with the palomar knot because it seems so fussy to get the folded-over line through the eye.  You've convinced me now, though!

I am not worried about it because he is one those people who love to hate on people because they have nothing better to do in life. Instead of have some class in this forum and talk i
Ice fishing this guy rather post negative comments. It's ok i totally understand there will always be haters in this world but I not worried about because I have so many friends and family that love me for who I am and what I about.

Really?  You shout him out in a video YouTube for helping you with LG info?  Did you forget about that?   I have nothing but good things to say myself.

I appreciate your comments and support. I did  give shot out in that video. But then for some reason he got this hair cross his a** and now he wants to Hate on me for some reason. I am sure he is a nice guy and he should have no reason to hate on me or be jealous of me. Because I don't even know him  I am just done with this.

I have more respect for people who own up to their mistakes.  We all have made mistakes.    I have made many and my friends and family have looked past them.         People that ignore the mistakes they have made will only have them catch up to them in the future.

i will respond to this in a new post on here.

Cool.  And to show I have class, I'll delete the above for now.  Got a sunburn and had a tough walk today, breaking through the top layer of ice.  Alarm goes off early again tomorrow for another round so I'm off for the night.  Hope things go well.  :)
