Thanks for the tip on leaving a bit of a tag end on the Palomar to help hold the half-crawler. Great idea. Also thanks for the explanation why the tail end of the crawler is better.
If you plan to fish Sakakawea, check out Indian Hills or the new motel in Garrison. We didn't stay at Dakota Waters and in no way endorse them but we used the boat ramp at their location and that is why there is a shot at the end of the video. Sakakawea has been a lot of fun the past few years.
i live up here in canada aye for walleye we put back 16 to 22 inch and we have lots of great fishing i dont know if that would help but it works good here i really like your attitude nice vid are kids will have good fishing if we look after what the good lord has given us
Release bail lock to slowly lower bouncer to bottom. No more line than is necessary to maintain bottom contact. Use heavier bouncer to keep it as close to back of boat as possible. Increase hits by 300 percent
Learn how to target Walleye seasonally. They are one of the pickiest fish when it comes to temperature and structure. The reason you aren't catching them is because you are not in the right spot for that time of year. If you are watching people catch them just 20 yards away it is because they are fishing at a different depth even if the structure is similar. It could be just 5 feet but that is enough for Walleye.
I did a Google search on Dakota Waters as a result of this video - was thinking of going up there. Jason you may want to consider who you put on your show Seems to owners have been kicked off the property by the Army Corp Eng.
Hi Jason, try the new ROBOHANDLE on your landing net. Now you can fish all by yourself. You have the total control. Thanks. ROBOHANDLE Fishing Chicagoland ROBOHANDLE on Musky Net
Do you ever use a two hook harness set-up with beads? Also, how do you troll with a minnow in small freshwater lakes such as in Montana or North Dakota? We always use the two hook harness, but I'm looking to try something new this spring.
+Timberlee We do use Crawler Harnesses with two hooks and use a whole crawler or soft plastic tail a lot typically a little later in the summer when the water warms up or when we feel the need to fish faster to cover more water. We often fish minnows much more slowly and often use just a plain rig and let the minnow do the work where as we fish crawlers much faster. Good luck!
I think you could learn from the Lindners on how to describe your technique Very vague When I watch a Lindner video I feel confident that I can go out on the water and do what they do. And I do I catch so many more fish since watching those guys and using their techniques Not trying to slam you you make a good video Thanks
If you have always wanted to visit Montana and specifically southwest Montana the perfect fishing opportunity exists. Our resort is the perfect place to stay if you plan on coming out and fishing without a fishing guide or outfitter, or you can work with our full service fishing outfitter for some of the best fishing in the lower 48. We offer simple packages of just overnight, several days stays, with or without full breakfast/box lunches/full dinner or perhaps all inclusive fish guiding if you wish. Rock Creek has trophy trout, Flint Creek is excellent fishing both located less than 5 minutes away. Boulder Creek actually cuts through the resort. www.bouldercreeklodgemontana.com
God damn do I get pissed watching everybody but me catch walleye after walleye. I try all the techniques and I put the time into it, I caught 1 walleye this year and it was like 6 inches. I still like watching people catch stuff but I just wish that for once I could do the same
Later in the year, I often have better luck dragging the fish until the rod loads up versus feeding. If you do need to feed line, use a Northland Tackle Slick Stick and run the line through to a swivel just like a live bait rig.
We focus on rivers and bottleneck area with current and also look at the water temperature which is relative. Look for shallow protected bays with the warmest water. Every fishery and every ecosystem is different so there are very few things that work across the board everywhere.
Jason Mitchell Outdoors Man Id love to collaborate on some fishing videos with you guys! Im in the northwoods shooting for a month before I head back to Cali and hit the ocean. Great videos. I went out and caught a 20 in walleye after watching this.
Great video. I enjoy seeing the fish be released. For a laugh, check out a video I have of a Northern Pike. It's a knee slapper! Enjoyed the walleye tips.
So what makes a difference with a longer spinner line? I'm using a 1' spinner line,not very long is it. You guys use 3 to 6feet line from the bouncer to the spinner.
You want it short enough to stay out of the debris but often the fish seem to prefer the longer snell. Three to six feet is about average for us but we will go longer if there is a lot of mud clouding up the presentation or if the fish are real finicky. We often go to really short shells on rivers or in heavier weeds.
Actually, it wasn't until 9 1/2 minutes in that they started talking about bottom bouncers and the set up they were using. After 1 1/2 minutes of super basic information, they went back to their commercial.
Are you afraid to show the people that you are putting walleye in the box? Why don't you show the fish going into the box? What's the water temp? Be nice to know that for the speed you are traveling.
+suzy mcalister I seldom keep many fish when we are on the road but eat plenty when we are fishing closer to home. I seldom like to freeze fish so I just keep a few for a meal. The water temp was in the low to mid 60s.
YOUR TAKING THEM ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE WATER, HANDLING THEM FISH WITH DRY HANDS && THEN TURNING THEM LOOSE. YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR DRY HANDS CAUSE INFECTION IN THE SCALES OF THE FISH EVENTUALLY DIE FROM THE INFECTION?? 0UT HERE IN THE PNW it is not legal to take fish out of the water with wet hands or a wet rag to hold em with for returning them.
+Tinkersmentality YOU DONT KNOW YOUR RULES ARE MEANT TO PROTECT ENDANGERED TROUT AND THAT FISH LIKE WALLEYE AND BASS ARE MUCH MORE HARDIER FOR CATCH AND RELEASE??
