Awesome videos!!! My #1 tactics for walleye is trolling with crankbait like hot'n'tot or flicker shad, catch a lot of walleyes and great for covering a ton of water

[bigel]

Thanks for doing these detailed videos for bait types. It's super helpful.

[brianmacdonald]

Awesome videos! With clear concise instructions and demos! Love it

[juzzonmorris]

I just came across your Channel, and I greatly appreciate your thoroughness explaining your techniques and rigs. I hope that you and your family are doing well & your Channel is still active. This is one of the best fishing tutorials I've come across! .👊🏾🔥🔥🔥

My #1 is an Erii Deary with green night crawler. Cast, let drop, slow retrieve. The Thousand islands. Catches Walleye, Bass and Pike. This out catches all my other tackle combined. Cheers

Great vid! I fish on Lake of the Woods (near Kenora, Ont). Mid summer I primarily use 3/8 jig with hand tied single hook trailer with nightcrawler and jigging raps. I have also been switching it up with a drop shot/crawler at times.

Well explained. On float rigging is very important to have braid as main line, because is floats. Mono will sink slowly, hard to get a hookset.

There is nothing better than the ol lindy rigg just a hook line and sinker

[brianwilliams]

Great videos Nick!! I like to use spinners with crawlers or leeches also slip bobbers mainly.
I need to start using jigging raps and search baits and drop shot rigs I think it will help me out.
In the spring always a jig or lindy rigs.

*Great video Nick, very helpful as always!* 👍

[danemmerich]

Thanks for the great info. Now I need to get a feel for catching Walleye. Lol

[therealshino]

Love this channel. I'm a northern angler and always liked lindner like channels or those who focus on pike, walleye, smallmouth bass.


Midwest and northern angler and I don't have access to lunker largies

[mhh]

Spinner rigs work great to get a bite but I rarely get bigger fish. I tend to get the bigger bites on jigs and jiggin raps so I will switch to those when I find them. I have gotten some bigger ones on cranks as well.

My #1 summer walleye tactic - spinner rigs.
I want to try drop shot soon.

[daveengstrom]

I like the jig and crawler. I use that a lot in deep water.

[mayflowerconsulting]

I saw walleye suspended at 15 ft all over the lake last summer, but had no success catching them. What comes to mind first when you hear this? Thx for the practical video with lots of easy to follow detail.

[mlmeyer]

Nice overview. You are a good teacher. Thx.

[nchec]

I smoke them on the Alabama rig 🤣 brett might enjoy that lol

[Adam-rwxk]

Trick number one, have a fishing boat with sonar and drop the bait right in front of the walleye. One hell of a trick!

This might be my favorite video of yours.
