Ty and Jason's Top 5 Ice Fishing Spoon Color Pro Picks

There are so many Ice spoons out there on the market, but today Jason Rylander and Ty Sjodin are going to share their top five ice fishing spoons. We will start out with the VMC Tingler spoon in a UV green color. This is a staple for walleye fisherman across the midwest, and Ty and Jason have had great success with this bait out on Mille Lacs lake in particular. What is unique about the tingler spoon is when it is jigged it really kicks out to the side and flutters down giving off a bunch of flash. The next spoon is the Blade Rattle Spoon made by Clam. Some of their favorite colors are blue and orange. These spoons give off a ton of noise and really call in the fish. Another great rattle spoon option is the Northland Buckshot spoon. This spoon has been around forever and has been a staple for ice fishermen. A new spoon that recently came out that has quickly become a favorite is Northland's Eyeball spoon. Its lifelike design and detail really bring in fish especially Walleys and Perch. The last spoon on the top 5 is the Clam Leach spoon. This ice spoon has a great falling action, along with a strong treble with a feathered tail for some added attractant. These are the top five spoons for Ty and Jason and these are definitely some spoons you guys need to add to your ice fishing arsenal this winter.

Red Lake Ice Fishing -- 4 man walleye limit - Video

We had heard the bite was still on at Red Lake so we decided to pull the wheel houses up and try fishing for some walleye. Most of the fish we caught that were on camera are towards the end of the video. We set up in 12 feet of water and although the fishing wasn't on fire, it was steady through out the day and night. This was enough to fill a four man limit of walleye over the course of a day and a half. Nearly every walleye we caught were keepers except for the smaller ones. The biggest one caught was 19".

All footage was taken with a GoPro.

Red Lake is hot for early season walleyes

By: Brad Dokken, Grand Forks Herald

WASKISH, Minn. — Finding Jonny Petrowske’s fishing spot on Upper Red Lake was as simple as finding the 2-inch cigar butt he’d poked into a chunk of ice somewhere along the north shore.

Perhaps that explains why we didn’t have another fish house within miles of us one Monday morning. Minnesota’s portion of Upper Red Lake covers 48,000 acres — the remaining 60,000 acres lies within the Red Lake Indian Reservation — and a glance across the big lake suggested at least 60,000 ice chunks covered the frozen horizon.

That’s a lot of ice to not find a cigar butt.

“It’s a lake where you have to be away from people” to do well fishing, Petrowske said. “We see it all the time.”

Mission accomplished.

Petrowske, 36, of Waskish, operates Outdoors with Jonny P., an outfitting business that includes guided summer fishing, fall bear hunts and sleeper fish house rentals. Upper Red Lake has flowed through the family for more than a century, and Petrowske is the fourth generation to make a living on the big lake.
There’ve been a lot of changes here in the past 20 years: The collapse in walleye populations that in 1999 triggered a recovery program in state and tribal waters, the crappie boom that turned Upper Red into a mecca for slab panfish in the wake of the walleye collapse and, more recently, the walleye comeback that has returned the big lake to prominence as one of Minnesota’s top walleye fisheries.
Before the walleye population collapsed in the 1990s — the result of overfishing in state and tribal waters — fish larger than frying-pan size were rare, Petrowske said.

“These are bigger walleyes than we’ve ever caught,” he said. “We used to go to 6 feet of water, hook on a minnow and drop a jig and fill the bucket with small fish. You never caught a walleye over 16 inches. I remember my sister caught a 3-pound walleye, and it was big news.”

Fast start
Ice fishing on Upper Red got off to a fast start as soon as anglers started venturing out in late November. The fishing last weekend slowed for many anglers — too many people and too much noise, according to Petrowske — but he was confident the spot he calls “Fail Safe” would produce a few fish.
The spot had all the ingredients for attracting walleyes, with a rock hump that topped out at 7 feet before dropping into 12 feet of water and a muck bottom.

Two days earlier, Petrowske had hosted a film crew, and three anglers iced 74 walleyes in a matter of hours.

The sun was shining that day, though, and the walleyes were on top of the hump and biting “as fast as you could catch them,” Petrowske said.

This day’s forecast called for sunny skies, as well, but someone forgot to tell the clouds. So Petrowske set his Otter portable fish house in deeper water.

The clouds, he figured, would drive the fish deeper.

“The best fishing has been from 10 to 2, but it changes every day,” he said. “It changes with the weather.”

Lines were in the water less than 15 minutes when Petrowske iced the first fish of the morning, a 17½-inch walleye too big to keep because it fell within Upper Red’s 17- to 26-inch protected slot limit.
He followed up with a 15-inch walleye a couple minutes later, but the fish flopped out of his hands and back down the hole before he could put it in the bucket.
“Oh, well. I wanted a 16-incher anyway,” he said.

Ice Fishing in Quebec - Fishing for Walleye, Pike, and Sauger - Video

Most people head south for the cold winter months to get to warmer weather, however we did the opposite. We headed further up north to the very cold Gatineau, Quebec in Canada.

We went there to jig up those February ice fishing walleyes, pikes, and saugers. We used our secret jigging spoon weapon, the boa jig'r, and baited them up with minnows.

Even though it was freezing out, we had some hot fish-catching action!

Until next time, good fishin'
