Suffering from a holiday hangover? 😣😴🥴

Whether it be from too much food & drink or lack of sleep, it's normal to feel a bit sluggish after the holidays. You deserve to be living it up with your friends and family during the festivities, but here are a few tricks to help you avoid the holiday hangover!

💧 Lots of water! Pro tip: drink H&H to more optimally replenish your fluids and electrolytes while also steering clear of sugar!
🍗🥦 Eat protein and fiber! Protein keeps you feeling satisfied and full while fiber acts like a scrubber brush cleaning the gunk out of your digestive tract! Lean meats and veggies are a great recovery meal! Pro tip: Truvy's protein shakes are packed with 20g of protein and 6g of fiber!
🧘🏻‍♀️ Get some light activity! Don't go beast mode at the gym if you're feeling worn down - respect your body and take it easy with a walk or light yoga flow. The extra oxygen and blood flow will help clear out your cells and provides nutrients to make you feel more energized and refreshed.
🥤 Drink a Truvy Boost or H&H+! The caffeine can help clear up the mental fog and motivate you to get in gear!

The Next Bite TV

A couple years back, but this again proves GM Parsons know's his stuff. The HOT BOX is changing the game precisely as he predicted. Now with the JT Snare rod's and custom rod holders it's again become more refined. Huge advantage!!

This Targeted Jigging Station could be the key to your ice fishing success this winter!

Ice fishing is just around the corner, but it's hard to complain about the extra time on the open water!! Caught and released these 25, 26 and 27 inch Rainy River beauty yesterday on a BfishN tackle PulseR's!! Hope to see you all at the Hardwater Expo this weekend in Blaine!!

Something as simple as drilling two holes side by side can keep your fish from becoming tangled in your transducer. It's getting closer!!

This is very similar to what my office floor is looking like!! Time to organize!!

Did you stock up on Clam Pro Tackle for the season yet....looks like Clam Pro is ready to go!!!

28/08/2016

Well we figure it's about time to rekindle the "coolness" of what we all look forward to!! In approximately 3 months we will be on ice!! This big Ole black backed Rainy Lake Walleye gets our heart racing!!

Believe it or not, we are only 6 months away from this:)

And we're off!! Back on the guide trail!!

Katchin' Kelly and I will be packing up tonight and heading to the Ice Shots media event tomorrow morning. 3 long days of putting together media assets with the awesome guys and gals from the In-Fisherman, Outdoor Life, Outdoor News and many more. This event is put together by Jeff Anderson with Clam Outdoors. It's going to be a fun time again this year!! Kelly says I need a hair cut before we go:) Apparently she thinks we need to make the ole fishing guide "Purty". Last year during the event I took a lucky swing that this big ole Bull. It's been a long time since I've fished for Gills!!

Quick-Set Escape Outdoor Canopy

While we have some fantastic late ice fishing on tap, it's also time to start thinking about our summer Camping/Fishing trips. If there is ONE single piece of camping gear you want it's this!! We absolutely love ours!! I saw these dotted all over VNP on Rainy Lake last summer. Without exception people said "WE LOVE OURS". Don't camp without one!! If you don't have one I promise you when the buzz starts to migrate from the pines you will remember this post:) http://stores.clamoutdoors.com/clam/shelters/quickset-escape.html

The Clam Big foot hub house is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites. It is really easy to set up and offers amazing room for anglers. We normally fish 2 people with a pile of room for gear, but it can easily accomodate 3 anglers. I would HIGHLY suggest adding this to your fun. This along with the Clam X2 pro have really added to our enjoyment and efficiency when chasing fish here on Rainy lake with clients. IMHO go thermal.

That there is a big boy!! Congrats guys!!

THIS. IS. IT. Staffer Nick Kerber takes us to Southeast Iowa in pursuit of some monster bluegills and hooks into a behemoth. This specimen is one of the biggest bluegills caught on film in the Upper Midwest and possibly the biggest ever caught on film in the state of Iowa.

Vacation is winding down and my desire to uncover the late Ice pattern is building!!

08/02/2016

You hopefully will never need the magic of a Nebulus, but if you do it can safe your life. As we head into the late Ice period let's all think safety first.

06/02/2016

In about one week we end our mid-season break and switch our focus to Crappies. Each year we are so excited for these adventures!! Last year we iced 22 over 15 inches!! Hoping for that true 17 this season!!

02/02/2016

Mike is watching our home while we are on vacation as well as keeping a close eye on the fish!!

Get Some Tips

Hey guys just an FYI. If you go to the Ice Team website you can hear up to date tips and reports from Ice Team Pro's like myself. Look for this format to only grow through the season! I just gave one for Rainy lake!!http://iceteam.com/pages/get-some-tips

Tip of the week!! As Walleyes begin to migrate into the deeper mud basins on many fisheries ,it becomes more important to make contact with fish. Covering a large fishery 8 inches at a time has some obvious drawbacks. Early in the season fish are often pinned down on specific pieces of structure like clearly defined w**d lines, transitional areas, or rock piles. As winter set's in oxygen levels begin to drop and the fish often times migrate into deeper structure seeminlgy void of pronounced ambush points for anglers to find the target species. This is a time of year where calling in fish from a slightly larger radius can prove very effective. Presentations like the Clam rattle spoon with the loud rattling system will often times attract that roaming lleye into the danger zone!! Tight Lines!!

Ice Team Forum - Ice Team Ice Fishing

Did you know that we have an "Ice Team" forum that we are seeking to grow? This is a forum in which Ice team members will be providing some exclusive content within. http://hotspotoutdoors.com/community/forum/10-ice-team-forum/

While I am fighting the flu today I can't help but think about the dropping barometer and warming temps......In my younger days I wouldn't have blinked an eye while lacing up my boots.

Mike's 23 inch Tagged Rainy Lake Walleye!!!

Boy oh boy have we enjoyed the Clam X2 Pro thermal as of late. It's funny when we talk to people at the retail shows and explain the benefits of 1800 denier on the ice covered playground. Don't skimp on warmth. Sometimes I think we forget what 30 below feels like. Newsflash...I don't like being cold, but love how that same cold brings ice fishing to our world.

Congrats Eric!!!!
