Let's talk about finding and catching fish, using your electronics, losing lures, jigs and sinkers, boats and so much more. 'FISHING AND MORE' will be about giving back. To those that provided me with information regarding fishing and boating, ‘thank you’. For those that thirst for information it's hoped our TH-cam channel is of value. Years were spent enjoying the sport called fishing by dunking a worm. Sometimes it was a bobber from shore. I was determined to learn. With that knowledge and the ability to do so we would like to share. Anticipated is a wide range of topics from fishing by dunking a worm to understanding electronics on a boat. If trying to save the cost of replacing lost terminal tackle we'll offer some guidance to make your own. Welcomed is the exchange of information. If we don't have all the answers we'll help find it. Not the best fisherman by any standard but willing to learn. Subscribe, to join the fishing journey with us.
Color, Sound, and UV for Walleye – How to + Tips & Techniques
Join me in the challenge as I master Color Sound and UV to reel in monster walleye catches!
When it comes to color selection, sound vibrations, and UV light reflection, there are specific principles and techniques that can make a huge difference in your catch rate. For example, did you know that walleye are highly attracted to certain colors and patterns that mimic their natural food sources? Or that specific sound vibrations can trigger a strike from a walleye? Or that UV light can reflect off certain materials and create a highly attractive target for walleye?
Thanks for watching, and I hope you learned something new today. Don't forget to try out these techniques on your next fishing trip and share your results in the comments section below. And if you want to learn more fishing tips and tricks, be sure to check out my other videos!

Awesome videos.
Thank you Daniel for your comment and having taken the time to view our video. Wishing you all the best.
was this made in 1996? just kidding, great info! subbed
Thanks for your having taken the time to view the video. I have to admit I don't understand the question. The video was made about two months ago. The worm harness was made about a year ago after experiencing that gold and red colors were the color of the day on Lake Erie.
@@MrLilWaver6229 Great video! sorry I was poking a little fun at the video quality of the video. Great information and helped me set up the worm harness! :) I also subscribed.
Thanks for the tips later this week im going up to the mountiens here in northern sweden to fish for Artic char, Grayling and Brown trout thanks for the tips😀
Thank you for the visit and the comment. Greatly appreciated. Good luck fishing.
Hello Tom! I’m just now learning how to make these worm harnesses with my dad and these videos are amazing! So informative and straightforward. Thank you!!
Thank you Rachel for your comment. I appreciate your having taken the time to give me your input. If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me either through comment of email. Take care and good luck with you worm harnesses.
Fun video Tom!
Thanks Larry. Appreciated the comment.
Learned a lot! Not a Bass fisherman but have had some success using jigs with Walleyes.
Thank you for the visit to our channel, the viewing of our latest video and your comment.
Great video. Very accurate
Thank you for the comment. Greatly appreciated. Do you do much with worm harnesses?
Thanks for posting the video. I like that color combination, however, I do not recommend using bait-holder hooks, especially on the front hook. The line between the hooks will rub against that sharp barb and you will lose fish. I learned that the hard way. I recommend using smooth octopus hooks instead. I like size #1 or #2.
Thank you for your input. Greatly appreciated. Everyday you learn something new.
@@MrLilWaver6229 One particular trip to Erie we probably had 5 or 6 nice fish get away near the boat and we would get the harness back with only the front hook there. The line between was obviously frayed. I finally figured out what was happening . Since then, I only use them for the back hook, if at all. I also don’t use “quick change” clevises, because the spinners get caught in the net and go flying off into the water.
On a double hook rig I also use Octopus hooks. When using bait hooks it is only a single hook rig.
Checked out your web site... nice collection of lures... impressive.
@@MrLilWaver6229 thanks!
copper color always works for me
where are you fishing?
I have been making worm harness’s and spinners and jigs etc. for 60 years or so. Color does matter- but, the Color we see is not the Color the fish sees. In dark or muddy water that red bead is not red- it is black.. the gold is the only thing that the fish wil be attracted to- it shows that it is an attractant, like a small minnow.. thats it- in clear water, the colors show as we see them, unless it goes deep. So what we see is still important.. I’ve caught more fish on a basic worm harness- but with a whole worm. Just a pice of worm doesn’t seem to work as well. I have even caught them in 10 feet of water, hand lining, and going over a mile an hour, with a simple spinner, bead and night crawler combo.. thanks for the info- what ever works..
Thanks for your comment. Totally agree with you.
We bottom bounce them from shore and even cast and retrieve them from shore… with egg weights
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Plenty walleye here.
Thanks for the comment. Wishing you a great fishing year.
Thankyou tom
Thank you... wishing you good fishing.
Is it cheaper to make or buy??
Hello David. Thanks to viewing of our video. They are cheap to make but by the time you buy the various beads and everything you've got a few bucks invested. As mentioned in video pt 2 I give my harnesses a specific job which means not just throwing some beads and blades together to say I now have a worm harness. Hope this makes sense. If you go to fishing.witkosupplies.com you'll see some of the things I've made. The Erie Gold was made specifically for fishing on Lake Erie and the Walleye wanted gold and red. I was ready the next time with that harness. If you do a lot of trolling with harnesses then it would be worth the investment. Good luck fishing this year.
David... pulled your name from comments section. Given an address I'll send you a few worm harnesses to try. When you get that big one with them could you send me a photo. Email address is: witkolures@witkosupplies.com

Thank you for the comment. Greatly appreciated. Have a good day and great fishing this year.
I’ve caught walleye in MN but have been striking out in Indiana with common jigging. I’m grateful for these videos as I am just getting into trolling. My only constructive criticism would be the sound effects. Mainly the water drop sounds are much louder than your voice with headphones.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion regarding the sound affects. Greatly appreciated. Wishing you some good fishing. As a notation... working on a series based on our eBook - "All About the Jig". Hope to have part 1 uploaded within a few days.

Nice job, Tom!
Glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic video. This is a great series, Tom.
Thank You! Comment is greatly appreciated.
Love these videos! FISH ON! What type of worms do you recommend?
Plain ole night crawlers. Will be trying plastic worms at some point. They should work.
What type of fishing do you do and where?
Thanks for the help
You are welcome. Thanks for the visit and hope you'll subscribe and stop back again. Any suggests or requests? Take care.
Most videos on youtube have been all about worm harnesses in the great lakes. I only fish the inland lakes. What is your favorite time of year/conditions to use bottom bouncers vs pulling the harness suspended for inland lakes?
Hello Brandon, thanks for taking the time to check out our video. Greatly appreciated. In response to your question... most of my fishing is at Lake Arthur in Butler County, PA. I first got into pulling harnesses on Lake Erie in July. On Arthur I would start pulling them after lake temperatures reach 70 degrees.
@@MrLilWaver6229 Well small world, most of my fishing is on Mosquito and Pymatuning. I was mainly asking the question because I am contemplating starting to pull harnesses this weekend because the walleye have been real finicky this year. Just wasn't sure if it was too early to try.
@@brandonoaks5354 Go for it. I like Pymatuning, it is very different from Arthur. More conducive to pulling harnesses. Everything depends on water temperatures and whether the walleye will chase a harness. Good luck.
On Lake Erie (we pull harnesses all year). But I will change to sticks in deep water in July. It’s a personal choice.
@@tomsieczkarek3828 Always look forward to pulling harnesses on Erie in July. I usually go out on the head boats. Have to admit "sticks" doesn't ring a bell right now. will have to check it out.
Great information.
Thank for the comment. Greatly appreciated that you took the time check out our video.
Hi Tom! I enjoy part 2 as well!
Thank you. Really appreciate your support and comments. Take care and good fishing.
Interesting. Enjoyed the video! Looking forward to viewing the next one. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Was hoping to get #3 uploaded today but added something more to it so won't upload until tomorrow.
Excellent video Tom...learned a lot! Did you make vice or did you purchase it?
Purchased it. Thanks for the view and comment. Really appreciated
Good video Tom! I haven’t really used worm harnesses very much. Do you prefer to cast or troll with them?
Thank you. Appreciate your checking it out. I enjoy trolling but will be adjusting the rig for casting. Looking forward to trying it on the Beaver River at the New Brighten dam where the outflow is.
Good morning! Correct me if wrong... you have a copy of my "All about the Worm Harness eBook. If you plan on doing some trolling with worm harnesses I'd like to send you a couple of mine to try. Would need an address. Send it to witkolures@witkosupplies.com. Take care... have a good day. As I said in my video I would pull a name from the comment section to give a free copy of my ebook. Since you already have one I'll send you a couple of my worm harnesses.
Yes Sir! I have a copy and really enjoyed it! I’ll send you my address!
I met you today at big rock nice video and nice lures

Thank you
Hope all is well. Did you check out my latest video? If so, what did you think. Take care.
Very interesting! Learned a great deal. Keep the information coming.
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your input.
Since I am brand new to Erie it would help to know how to access the fishing holes you pointed out Tom. It was a very nice video otherwise. Thanks. Timothy.
Hello Timothy, thank you for checking out the video and sending a comment. Being honest...it took me a number of years to gather some of this information so I'm extremely grateful to be able to help. That was the reason for my channel and videos. When you get a chance check out these links. www.fisherie.com/Fishing-Reports - a lot of info about fishing Presque Isle Bay and tributaries; www.pasteelhead.com - home page left navigation bar - click on NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA STEELHEAD MAP - this info is awesome for someone new to the area...the tributaries available to fish, where you have access to the creeks along with places to park; web-cams available - unclejohnselkcreekcamp.com/webcams - www.fishusa.com/avonia-webcam There is creek depth data available for Walnut and Elk Creek. Go to USGS government site: maps.waterdata.usgs.gov/mapper/index.html. Locate those creeks on the site. Really good information. Anybody traveling any distance, like me, to fish the creeks will check out this site. One other thing to keep in mind. When it does rain how long does it take for a fishable situation at the various creeks? Example: Walnut is approx 20 miles long while Elk is 34. Both of them take about 3 to 4 days of no rain to become fishable. 12 Mile, 16 Mile and 20 Mile take about a day as they are very short. I can give you more information on this if you want. The head of Walnut is at Millcreek Mall which has lots of concrete/asphault which drains into Walnut. Elk is of a more rural nature with rain soaking into the ground. My reasoning to why Walnut blows out before Elk. This will keep you busy for awhile... I hope it answers your question and helps with your quest...GOOD LUCK! Take care!
@@MrLilWaver6229 Thank you so much! You have gone above and beyond. Your quick reply is very much appreciated. Regards, Timothy.

Really enjoyed the video! would like to get out and attempt to catch a few Steelhead. Surprised that such small hooks are being used. Some fishermen were using floats, others were not.
