Adam Griffith of the Crappie Chronicles joins the JMO Podcast for this episode to detail why this ice season (2024/2025) more trophy crappies may be caught in the greater twin cities region of Minnesota. Adam is a fishing guide as well and spends countless days on the water. He is a big fish hound and through the ice it's all about giant crappies. As showcased on the first episode of season 5 Crappie Chronicles, Griffith went along with co-host Adam Bartusek to a known lake in their area on early ice only to have total success setting the hook on some giant crappies. We get more details of that outing and more in this interview.

Steve "Zippy" Dahl is back on the JMO Podcast to share stories and information on what it's like to hunt for giant perch on Devils Lake in North Dakota. Steve has a long famed career on this incredible body of water and his stories of the past are entertaining enough to listen to. It's as the stories are being reminisced that you will discover they're dripping in details that any perch angler will take so much from. The grind of finding new fish, jumbos that are schooling versus spread out, it's in the details that Zippy subtly shares technical information that needs to be noted when planning a destination fishing trip to Devils Lake, North Dakota.

Dane Heid of DH Custom Baits is back on the JMO Podcast to have a fun conversation about choosing lure colors. How often as anglers do the colors we chose to tie on our line really matter to the fish? Fishing with confidence as anglers can be key to success, staying engaged and focused is easier when we are confident in our presentation and color can be a big factor in that process. In this interview my friend Dane and I chat about lure color concepts and our own personal takes on how often the fish care about our presentations color vs how often the color matters only in our head as anglers as well as how often those two realities can overlap. For nothing else talking about lure color is just fun and entertaining within our own circles, during this podcast hopefully listeners will look into their own tackle boxes and see what color confidences they have and it may spark a new fun conversation with a fishing buddy.

Jason Mitchell joins the podcast once again. This time to chat about early ice strategies. Less is more for Jason this time of year, what he's learned from ffs and past experience this is a great time of year to identify key spots where fish will cycle through the area that allows anglers to drill fewer holes and let the fish come to you. He breaks down his process to locating spots that can produce this type of pattern and why during this early ice period on any body of water with any target species of fish making less noise on top of the ice will keep more fish under your Vexilar.

Joel Nelson returns to the JMO Podcast for a career update. Joel recently accepted a position with OnX which has been a leader in the hunting industry for years with their mobile app that produces mapping and gps information. However their new department that Joel represents is an app for anglers to get a boat load of valuable information in one central location. Information such as mapping and survey data as well as satellite imagery. This app would allow you to track your time on the water and store waypoints as well. So much of what the new Fish Maps from OnX can do in one spot is what anglers would historically need to source from many different online locations making E-scouting new lakes and fishing opportunities easier and better than ever.
