Description

📘 THE BOOK: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camping & Fishing Manual" (120 camp and fishing tricks) 📗 ALSO: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camp Cooking Manual" (60 tricks for cooking with no kitchen) Get one, or both in a bundle: https://waltscampingsecrets.com I have fished Michigan water for sixty years, and in this video I go through 25 tricks our grandfathers fished with, what the law says about each one today, and the legal version you can still run this weekend. In this video: - Trotlines, limb lines, jug fishing and the old yo-yo rig - Goldfish in the bait bucket, the perch eye and the live wild shiner - Noodling, the dark house spear and fishing after dark - The honest part: the tricks that had to stop, and what to run instead Almost nothing on this list is illegal everywhere, and almost nothing is legal everywhere. The difference is one page in your state's regulation book, so read your page before you copy anything I show you. What did your grandfather do at the water that you have never once seen since? Put it in the comments, I read every one.
