Seasonal Fishing Chit-Chat1:41 – 3:01

1:41

I like warm weather fishing.

1:42

We've certainly got that right now.

1:44

Lots of things going on, but the fish are biting.

1:47

There's no question they're biting.

1:48

So it's, it's my favorite time of year because I don't, I don't really get cabin fever, but I prefer this time over winter.

1:56

Even though I've ice fished and done it all over my career-

J

JesseHost

1:59

[laughs]

2:00

...

2:00

I like spring, summer, fall fishing more than winter fishing, but that's just me, you know?

J

JesseHost

2:05

Not gonna say ice fishing is boring, but sometimes it is.

J

JesseHost

2:08

Let's just say that.

J

JesseHost

2:09

[laughs]

2:10

Well, it, it can be, but we do have that SnowBear ice fishing machine, my brother and I, and, and that is pretty luxurious.

2:17

You know, you get out there, you can be in your T-shirt fishing and, and in the boat and-

J

JesseHost

2:22

[laughs]

2:22

Or not in the boat, in the, uh, machine I should say, and, and it's got propane forced air furnace and it's pretty, pretty, uh, nice.

J

JesseHost

2:29

Fancy.

2:29

You can even watch TV or watch the screen and watch the fish if you want while you're fishing.

J

JesseHost

2:34

[laughs]

2:34

It doesn't matter.

2:34

Or watch a movie.

2:36

It's pretty comfortable.

2:37

You can sleep in it too if you want.

2:38

So yeah, you could do 24 hours, seven days a week on the ice if you wanted.

2:43

So that, that's pretty good.
