JMO Podcast

Matt Cowen is the owner of Mon-Dak Marine in Glasgow, Montana near the shores of Fort Peck Lake. As we learned in episode 167, Matt is a Montana native that grew up fly fishing in the mountains. In this interview we tap into that experience and time of Matt's fishing career to learn what we can about reading water and how to be as efficient as possible. Walleye anglers have an endless amount of content and resources to consume for entertainment or information but learning from other types of anglers such as flyfishermen can reveal great perspective and thought that shouldn't be overlooked. The river destinations for walleye anglers are most popular during the spring of the year and having the ability to breakdown water both with your eyes and electronics is a winning strategy for river rats everywhere.TKI CNC - https://www.youtube.com/@tkicnc6255www.tkicnc.comJT Rods - www.jtodp.comDevils Lake Tourism - www.devilslakend.comWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/

Hunter Nitti is joins the JMO Podcast for episode 335. He is the current AOY in the National Walleye Tour. A tournament addict might be a good way to explain Hunter's behavior throughout the open water season as he can't stand to see an open weekend on his calendar without researching all possible walleye tournaments available. In this interview we get a reflection of last years dream season and a current update from the Mississippi River where he has been fishing lately and then some stories from his wild ice fishing season up on Mille Lacs where giant perch are still biting.JT Outdoor Products - https://jtodp.comLake Of The Woods - https://lakeofthewoodsmn.comOnX Fish - https://www.onxmaps.com/fish/appWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/

Dan McGuire from Big River Angling Adventures joins the JMO Podcast for the first time. In this interview we get the details of Dan's approach to fishing spring walleyes on the Mississippi River specifically pools 3 and 4. We get insights on the criteria for which Dan makes decisions such as locations, lures and cadences that help him find and catch more fish in the spring. The Mississippi River is a popular spring and summer walleye destination for anglers. The theories and ideas Dan shares are based on experience and would be helpful to any angler that is planning a trip to the area this season.OnX Fish - https://www.onxmaps.com/fish/appRisovi Taxidermy Studio - www.risovitaxidermystudio.comDevils Lake Tourism - www.devilslakend.comScheels - https://www.scheels.com/c/fishingWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/

Jason Mitchell joins the JMO Podcast to share stories about an epic ice fishing adventure he and his buddies took out of Baker Narrows Lodge in northern Manitoba.

The footage of this adventure which has never been done before will be found on the Jason Mitchell Outdoors YouTube channel.Zulauf Construction - https://www.zulaufconstruction.com701-630-0197Summit Fishing Equipment - https://summitfishingequipment.comScheels - https://www.scheels.com/c/fishingWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/

Scott Mackenthun joins the JMO Podcast once again for another great fishing conversation. In this interview we hash out the mental side of angling. As anglers we are all striving for confidence and reassurance that we are as good at fishing as we think we are. The reality for the majority of us is our weaknesses go unchecked until the day is done and we look back on our decision making with guilt and disgust, this can be a confidence killer. How to stay open minded enough to make quality decisions on the water while maintaining confidence even when there's a looming threat of failure is what Scott details in this interview. A passionate angler, outdoor writer, and fisheries employee for Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources are some of the life experiences that draw me to Scott for this topic of conversation. Regardless, I believe Scott is one of the most thoughtful, smart, and articulate individuals I've ever had on the podcast. This is ultimately why I wanted to hear what Scott had to say about the mental side of angling.JT Rods - www.jtodp.comShips Wheel Resort - https://www.shipswheelresort.comTwin Island Sleepers - https://www.twinislandsleepers.comOnX Fish - https://www.onxmaps.com/fish/appLake Of The Woods - https://lakeofthewoodsmn.comWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/

Caleb Wistad is a fishing YouTuber and designer of the Predator by Clam Outdoors. The Predator is combination tiptup/automatic hook setting device designed to help any angler maximize their potential on the ice. During the mid winter doldrums great fish catching days can be hard to come by. Many fish species here in the midwest slow down this time of year. Using extra lines wherever it is legal is definitely a proven tactic when breaking down a tough bite. Caleb designed the Predator to be used in most all scenarios where extra lines can be used and in this podcast interview Caleb details when and how to best utilize set lines based on his extensive experience in this arena.Lake Of The Woods - https://lakeofthewoodsmn.comZulauf Construction - https://www.zulaufconstruction.com701-630-0197OnX Fish - https://www.onxmaps.com/fish/appWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/
