James and Nick, I really enjoyed your video. It's funny but with all the sophisticated equipment there still is nothing like the excitement a float going down it brings me back to my youth.
My best days for catching walleyes has been on calm days. Haven't had much luck with leeches though. Half a night crawler with jigs. I mostly fish a lake that is part of a large river system and has almost no structure and the deepest spot is about 11 feet. One of the times where I did best was in about 3-4 feet.
One reason a lot of guys in the south use braid for slip corks is that your bobber stopper doesnt slip on its own as easy. Also, line management was mentioned a bit in the show, having braid allows your line above the cork to float instead of sink which helps with line management. We usually tie on a 3 ft fluro leader to the braid.
If you put a Corky between your bead and the top of your borber it helps as an indicator letting you know that your bobber stopper is to the top of your bobber where it needs to be
Cool fun video. We still have plenty of ice on the lakes here in central Minnesota But I'm gonna go rig one of my rods with this exact setup right now. The 3 minutes of commercials every 3 minutes is annoying. Is there a subscription available to remove the ads?
yes... that is correct ! keep your leech/crawler/bait above the fish making them "look up" ... also, use a nice thin but strong hook and penetrate your bait on its skin only which will give more wiggle action to the live bait !! very tempting !!
Probably wont be able to get one, but what rod and reel are you using sirs? My cousin fishes Lake Erie as a walleye guide (Double J) but I live in Arkansas. Really like the slip presentation and your set up.
matthew wolbert they’re using a 7’ St Croix fast action rod with a Daiwa Revros 2500 reel. i have the same exact reel and i absolutely love it. i got it last year for around $50. and i have that on a 7’ ugly stik medium light action. you can get those reels for cheaper now though.
@@nickc3627 really...😳.. that's freaking awesome.. I appreciate the feedback and I'm definately going to look into it.. heard there are some good walleye in the river I live near...
Mr Lindner, question, have you ever used this is a river situation? I have a spot where there are walleyes stacked up but there is a steady current, Looking to provide a more natural presentation, and thought that using the slip float close to bottom maybe within 1-2 ft, they would grab it, if you have time let me know your thoughts, Thanks
Brett May - I have, can be a decent option, but I’d say it works better in less or no current. First thing to keep in mind is you have to set your depth a little deeper to make up for current, which can vary. And if you are fishing where there is scattered rock/boulder, it can be annoying hanging up on them every few casts. It’s a nice change up, though compared to my usual pitching jigs and cranks. Find a nice eddy and it can be a real blast!
Gregory Vrooman where do you live? i’m in Youngstown ohio and fish a lot of local lakes as well as erie and do very well with walleye. that’s my main targeted fish. last few weeks has been amazing because they’re spawning. walleyes are a great fish to catch and the best tasting!
@@nickc3627 I live in Wyoming. Glendo lake and the Platt river are the only places reasonably close enough to fish. Glendo is mainly walleye and the platt is mainly trout. With a fiew other common fish species found throughout the U.S. of course.
@@SmokeETerr So when you real you're line in when your bobber is floating toward you it doesnt move your bobber. I've fished floats hundreds of times for steelhead and walleye with a jig under. Anytime I have used mono it has a negative effect on the float while trying to mend line because it doesnt float. But I guess you found the magic floating mono.
@@robertculpepper1508 Yea it is literally called floating monofilament, Blood Run Tackle and Sunline are two companies that I know of. Before that when I used Ande mono(well for some non float related fishing still do), I used something called silicone mucilin. Something for dry fly fishing, you smear it on your line and it helps your line float on the surface. Wears off after some time, usually an hour or two
@@SmokeETerr Or when you are float fishing you could just use high vis braid. Then you wouldnt have to buy special mono that no stores carry or smear a messy flotation goo on your line. Just sayin... When you are dead drifting jigs or eggs in the river and you cant get a natural presentation because your line sinks when you mend it you catch less fish. Some people just like their mono though I suppose.
@@robertculpepper1508 Haha I'm familiar with mending. And yes my line is high vis. No I don't get a belly in my line because it floats(like I said earlier), that way my float barely moves as I mend it. All of the local tackle stores carry a combination of the lines I mentioned before. I also like the forgiveness of mono, it helps keep the hooks pinned and sheds ice easily. How does your braid do in -6C? Or do you have to buy a special braid for that? I get some of the benefits of braid, I use it to float fish smallmouth... with a 20ft bumper of mono. Sensitivity of braid cannot be beat, casting lures and bottom bouncing. Trolling long lines, I prefer braid because of the thin diameter. but mono is not terrible for float fishing.
I don't see the float as making the effectiveness. The fish-finder telling you exactly where the fish are and a leech, no float needed. If you used soft shell Crayfish you would have even more effectiveness.
Great filming an commentary here but for god sakes get rid of the music or use better tracks it was super distracting and sounded like a toddler’s cartoon at times. Good fishing boys!
Music ruined this program and many other outdoor vids as well. Why does everyone think they need to add music? Viewers want to hear the the instruction and the sound of the outdoors.
James and Nick, I really enjoyed your video. It's funny but with all the sophisticated equipment there still is nothing like the excitement a float going down it brings me back to my youth.
i've had my best walleye fishing in the heat of the summer, under high skies. then again, i'm a vacationer and only fish May-August.
KEEP SHARING THE WORD!!!!
I love what your family does for the fishing world. Thank you for anohter good instructional video. Love the father / son platform.
I really consider it a blessing that I "stumbled" onto your great videos,, LOVE the brief msg at the end too!! Keep'em comin' guys!
Thanks for watching Wayne!
Amen to that brother. Great ending to a great video.
glad to hear the word..can never please everyone.god bless

I have a hell of a time with braid- I can never get the stop to stay put. Must be the bobber stops I'm using?
Love all your videos, God bless.
I love this show have been watching it since i was a kid love it
Great video! Many thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Well that took a left turn real quick.😳

ITS CALLED SLIP BOBBERS
WITH LEECHES
I ONLY USE LEECHES N WORMS
LOVE RED WORMS

The gloves you are using? Great video. Dave
When you set the depth is that 3 ft of floro + 25 ft added onto that? So you’re fishing around 30 ft but a couple feet above?
yes... that is correct ! keep your leech/crawler/bait above the fish making them "look up" ... also, use a nice thin but strong hook and penetrate your bait on its skin only which will give more wiggle action to the live bait !! very tempting !!

What rods do you recommend for this kind of fishing? Thx!
A medium light action 6' to 6'6" spinning rod (6 or 8lb line) is great for young anglers to catch a variety of different fish.
@@LindnerMedia Thank you

Great video, weird music though...
Nice video what is the equipment you are using ?
start watching around 18:30
Would have been a great video but too many commercials.
I second that one!
1 will 3rd this comment.
Absolutely!
Go cry about it
Whts the bobber name
Are you kidding me with all these commercials?
Gotta pay the bills somehow
I don't know why anyone would fish braid on a slip bobber. I find it doesn't slide through the slip bobber very good.
Too many commercials for me. I live in walleye country. Like to learn how to catch them

that yarn type doesn't stay put
Way too many Ads........
Nothing is free in this world
@@sunrise7ranch85 Greed is a thing as well you know. Not sure about you, but I value my time.
The background music
Man, the fishing was great, but that was about 26 minutes of ads!
TH-cam Professional tip - you can hover over the timeline and bypass all the commercials. Should try it sometime.
Another pro tip: watch something else and quit bitching.
‘gonna grab mr net here’
I always thought Annette was a girl.
Nice. Lol
Monofilament is terrible for float fishing. Braid floats and allows you to keep slack out of your line.
I have floating mono on my float reel, I never have a problem with slack.

video content excellent as always, music....... not so much
Too many adverts... I left half way through
I don't see the float as making the effectiveness. The fish-finder telling you exactly where the fish are and a leech, no float needed.
If you used soft shell Crayfish you would have even more effectiveness.
The float keeps your bait away from the boat. Also keeps the bait set off the bottom at the desired height above the fish.
Waaaay too many ads
How do you run a successful media company without sponsors? Just curious
one giant commercial, bye
Cute whimsical music, as bad as the hick folk music. In the old days they called it bobber fishing......
Go ahead, keep complaining. I’m listening.
too much adds
Waaaaay too many commercials! Sorry I clicked on video. Won't happen again.
Too many commercials
wayyyyy too many ads. bye.
Great filming an commentary here but for god sakes get rid of the music or use better tracks it was super distracting and sounded like a toddler’s cartoon at times. Good fishing boys!

The background music is horrible
Worst music ever. Not fishing mood inspiring.
Waste of time
Enough with the preaching already, just fish
Or...watch something else?
It's their show. They get to do what they want.
Free content, don't forget. It's not costing us a dime.
Boat full of yankees
too many commercials!
Ya. You can catch if you have all that money to buy all those electronics. How bout showing some fishing.
Great episode
Way to many commercials
