Awesome!!!! I like how you break it all down to particulars. I recommend your videos to all younger anglers. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

[steveriege]

thank you Nick. I fished tons as a kid, but have disappeared as a city guy for 45 years. Trying to learn Walleye fishing and I know I keep overthinking this and this video helps. I'll come back and watch as I shop for my supplies and make my attempt at making my rigs.

Most of these videos, which are excellent in their instructional value, are done on lakes that are deep and usually have good structure. My lake is over 10, 000 acres but is only 6-7' deep. A river runs through it from northeast to southwest. Because it's fairly consistently flat a lot of anglers prefer trolling. I prefer drifting. Depending on the wind it can easily take a couple hours to cross, even if the wind is perpendicular to the length of the lake. Is there a better presentation for a more shallow, muddy bottom lake?

[jimcourtney]

this is very interesting the lake I fish is a reverse flowage lake and the wallys are very finicky
I've tried the Lyndy rigging and that is not as good as a bobber fishing I know that I could be doing something wrong any ideas ??

Great instructional video.
Happy 4th

Great video thanks. Curious, what boat and size you in? I’m in the market for a big water boat. Just sooo many to choose from. Thanks.

Do you have to add a small float to the worm? What stops it from dragging on the bottom? the weight is off the bottom but wouldn’t the worm sink lower into the mud?

[brucewunderlich]

What is your opinion on “Gulp” type leaches/minnows on this type of presentation? Heading to northern Ontario and suspect finding live bait will be difficult and expensive

[TravisInCanada]

Have you compared drop shotting to this approach?
I have always ran a blade on my worm rig or lindy rigs, usually trolling with a bottom bouncer though.

[morrowoutdoors]

How do you know if your weight only 1-2 ft off bottom and how fast do u troll

[phil]

So you took a Carolina rig, renamed it after your self and called it good?

[PaulVanderford]

Spelling correction. Tool map = topo map.

Please just show the topic, not all the side opinions you have on equipment etc. I'm a newbie & just need to understand how to do a Lindy rig. Thank you for your effort. You could always split your tutorial between Lindy rigging as one topic and rod/ reels/ line & whatever else later. My interest was gone right away when you started.
