A decision tree for your lake.
Step-by-step fishing decisions that work on your local Minnesota water, whether you fish from the bank, an e-bike or a boat. Electronics are a bonus here, never a requirement.
Three calls. Every video.
Read your water
Start with what anyone can check from shore: water temperature, weed cover, wind and depth.
Follow the branch
Each answer points to a bait, a spot and a retrieve. No guessing and no "you had to be there."
Let the fish vote
If a branch isn't producing, the tree tells you what to change next and why.
Same decisions. Any setup.
Bank & shore
Most trees start on shore. Ponds, piers and public access are all fair game.
E-bike & kayak
One rod, a small tackle box, and a plan that fits in your pocket.
Boat & sonar
When I film from the boat, I show what the screen says and how you'd make the same call without it.
Pick your first tree.
Open water. Hard water. Same plan.

Nearly every view on this channel comes from people who aren't subscribed. If a tree has helped you catch a fish, one click tells YouTube to show it to the next angler. We're working toward 500.
The tree doesn't care what season it is.
