They worked fine earlier in the day but right now our entire bank of videos servers is down. We're digging into it. I'll post back here when they're back up and running.

Another great show guys! James, thank you for making those shows available to the rest of us not blessed enough to live in the broadcast area. Dustin, I'll be in contact about one of those early fall trips. That looks like too much fun to miss out on. My kind of active fishing methods. I've been hammering the eyes on the interior rivers the past few weeks but the heavy snow pack just melted the floods kicked in so it will be time to seek out those slack water areas.
This pattern will start to kick into high gear over the next couple weeks as water temps drop. If you can figure out how the shad move as the water temps drop you can get yourself onto a great big walleye bite.
With the cooler temps these last few days the parade of big walleye pics from the river won't be far behind.

It is nice on those days with no wind when we can turn up the sensitivity on the wireless mics and pick up all the small sounds that are a part of each day on the water. When we get some wind we have to really turn down the sensitivity and all you hear is the dialogue back and forth between the guys fishing and you miss out on all the wildlife sounds. For this shoot we didn't have a breath of wind in the AM so every little sound came through loud and clear.

Last year the shad were really grouping up with the big walleye hot on their tails by the time the water temps were in the low 60's around the middle of September.
Here's a report from Dustin Stewart from last September that does a good job of letting guys know the quality of fishing they can expect if they can follow the shad as the temps fall.
That is realy makes for a neat show with the sound like that, Kind of like chris said , You almost feel like your in the boat with you guys. When you are turning the boat sideways like that and parralelling the bank does the current taking you downstream force you to make a pretty fast retrieve.

Hey Todd
In this particular area the current is quite light and decreases as you get tighter to the bank so we are able to maintain excellent bait speed control during the cast. The cooler it gets the less current the shad seem willing to tolerate too so as those temps start to drop into the low 50's start to seek out areas with very light current.
