  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
  • Swimbaits are one of the most versatile baits for all species, everything eats a swimbait. In this video I walk through the rod/reel, line, baits and cadence that I use when fishing this way. Ripping plastics excels in the summer period. If you haven't had much confidence in plastics this video should really help you out.

    Tom, you have finally struck the perfect balance of information and fish catching footage. Absolutely the perfect informational video about a technique that I have never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I will be trying this technique out tomorrow on Lake Erie.

      @@nobert6318 Hey Nick, there were 3-4 footers on the lake and I was drifting like 1.2 mph, but I used the swimbait on a 1/2 oz jighead and casted downwind. To my surprise I did catch a walleye, a perch and a few sheephead. It was hardly the right conditions, but the technique still worked. I can't wait to try it under better conditions.

      My 4 year old son caught a 29 inch walleye on a drift yesterday morning with his little ugly stick push button rod . He set the hook and reeled it in all by himself. He wouldn't let me touch his rod . Really proud of the boy. We did really well drifting leeches and trolling purple shad raps or purple flicker minnows . Hope the Hayward bite is hot for ya this week. Take care bud.

    Love your vids and how instructional and informative you make them on top of fishing for Walleye
    I’ve been trying to target them in TableRock Lake in Missouri
    My son and I happened to find them around a bridge piling feeding on shad in 54 FOW
    The bite went to zilch after two weeks so now we’re trying other spots now to find the baitfish
    We are going to try your slip bobber tactics and see what we can hit
    We don’t have spotlock so will throw a marker and make drift attempts with the bobbers
    It’s a deep body of water lots of rock ledge shores falling off into really deep water

    Awesome! Very nice walleye! I live in NC and have taken a few trips into Canada on a fly in only secluded lake out of Earfalls. That was about 10 years ago and I used big swim baits and had great luck using them back then. First year I went it was still snowing on us in June and I almost froze to death being from North Carolina. The guys I went with all worked for Johnsonville.
