Commercial winter ice fishing with gill nets for walleye on Lake Manitoba near Oak Point in a couple of Bombardier B12s on 3 foot thick ice. Snoopy follows the bombardiers for about 18 miles on the lake. We lifted 23 nets that day for 6 boxes of pickerel. Furthest net was about 6 miles from shore. My wife calls this the Snoopy show.

Thank you Leon Chartrand for bringing me along.

    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!

    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
  • 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.

    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
  • @peislander3605
    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.
  • @doublea1499
    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!
  • 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
  • how do you know snoopy doesn't want a ride once in a while? do you offer him to get in with you?
  • @Bigjohnson1515
    Do you guys just leave the tullibee on the ice? sort of seemed like it was just thrown to the side
  • What's the biggest walleye you've caught with nets, open or frozen water
  • If that's how you treat your equipment that you so desperately need, no wonder you have the problems you do.
  • The correct name for the fish is walleye, there not pickerel no matter where you are.
