Awesome info on drop shot !! Thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎣🎣👍👍
Great educational video. Nice job guys.
First time I watch a video from your channel. You have a new sub!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy for many more years.
@@ThenextbiteTvShow I saw that many videos are over a decade old. Wow... impressive. ANd now I have some catching up to do because your videos are great.
@@ThenextbiteTvShow I forgot to say. You guys may not be able to do it because you are sponsored, but just in case... The industry is trying everything they can to force us to buy new lures and make us believe the old ones are not good anymore. Yes, they are coming with better lures over the years. It'd be very cool if you could make a video using good old classic lures only. Like the good old "original" Daredevil and the famous flatfish for example.
some of our shows focus on one lure explaining how to retrieve it and other tips to know about certain bait. Other shows it feels like we toss the whole tackle box out.. But I do get what you are saying. Some times a spoon is more effective than a crankbait. Each lake and time of year is different. Some lakes were you can have 3 line or 2 lines putting live bait on a rod laying right next to the boat can be more effective then casting search baits.
Yep we are on our 18th season of TV show. 5 years website before that, and 10-20 years of magazine before website started. The Next Bite been around and has changed here and there over the years.
Thanks Guys, Awesome Vid!!
I've been using this technique on Southern Ontario Walleye for years! Not just for Smallies, anymore!!
Great video and explanation of how to rig up and fish a drop shot rig! Thanks.
I use a split shot for the bottom weight in rocky lakes. That way if I snag up a light pull unhooks me and I keep my bait.
I luuuuuvve walleye fishing
I catch a lot of walleye in July, I am anxious to try the zman minnows on the drop shot. Love your show ! I really like the twitch tails but the bass throw them pretty easy.
I like the really good explanation of Drop Shotting. Thanks
Thanks for that information! Look forward to giving that technique a try.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
Quick google search. instagram.com/accounts/password/reset/
Very well done guys. Thanks for explaining in good detail.
Great video.
I'll be trying this out this spring!
It July and you are bundled up like its March or November. Great fishing though, Ill have to try the drop shot for walleye.
Great Show...
How far from bottom were you guys running your hook from the weight?
I think they where about 3 feet. Walleyes tend to hug bottom. Sometimes on break lines they can vary and you could maybe try 5 feet. Keep eye on electronic to see what depth they walleyes are holding at.
Lake map at 3:00 is of West Battle Lake in Minnesota.
good catch. Ya I do the graphics and I live near Wadena and so I used a lake close to me that was similar. The guys did not want to publicly show / say what this lake name was as it is smaller and get lots of pressure. West Battle map was very similar to the lake over there in Northern Wisconsin.
I drop shot for Murray cod and trout carp love it to silver perch love it to I'm from Australia.
is there a benefit of using drop shot over a crappie rig setup with 2 hooks @ 2 depths?
It some states you cannot use 2 hooks spread out like that. :)
Nice
Good show Thanks.
Lmao that's an amazing intro
Awesome!! Im a bottom bouncer user. This looks ggreat!(tony the tiger voice) ;)
In my experience, walleye are more aggressive in clear water and easier to catch. Just have to fish the depth according to water temperature
Will this technique work in the in rivers and creeks that hold walleyes?
Depending on current speed your weight might drift down stream. I have fished behind current breaks using this technique with pretty good successes. Also going to want to watch out for snags in rocks as some river can have some big rocks.
Works awesome in rivers. Go heavier like 3/8
do you think that the better fishing for walleyes in northern Wisconsin is because of all the stock and it did a few years back?
Is this a legit TV show? Really well done if its just a youtube channel
thank you. Yes we are a TV show that Airs on Discovery Channel and other networks as well. thenextbite.com/tnb-tv/
nice vid
Thank you
Interesting! I'm going to try this. It's similar to what we have been doing in northern MI for a long time!
Who makes the telescopic net you used on this episode or where can I get one?
EGO Nets. Check Out Basspro.com and search for EGO Nets
Great vid 👍 thanks
Split shot weights are a LOT cheaper and work. Get snagged ? The weight pops off. Just Pinch on another one.
Yes they do work too. Lots of times the line from 3 way swivel to drop shot weight is thin 4lb or 2lbs. For that same reason. Easy break and re-tie. I grew up river fishing and we used pencil lead weight from craft store and thin gas line with barrel swivel with the hook snap. The gas line would stretch and get you out of rocks. or just lose your little lead and just cut another and replace.
😀😀😀😀
How do you feel about the fireline ultra 8 in the 6 lb test. Have you ever used it? Do you think it would cast longer?
This line is super tough. I use it for all of my spinning applications because it casts a long distance, is easily managed, and is super strong. I prefer it over all others for spinning rod applications.
@@ThenextbiteTvShow
Thanks. What pound test would you recommend for finesse bass fishing? I fish mostly in grass lakes not a lot of structure. We catch 2 pound to 5 pound bass.
6lb test will work for your needs.
I have many lakes this will work on ! Thanks boys ! If you ever wanna go to some uncharted lakes in South dakota DM me !
What kind of rod works best for drop shotting the big eyes?
www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-walleye-angler-spinning-rod-100033048-1 Gary goes over the rod set up at 10 mins in. Here link bright you right to that section. ruclips.net/video/4aQaaPQsDTY/видео.html.
what are five plastic baits for drop shoting
I would go with Gulp Minnow, Gulp Leech, and could try Gulp Shaky worm (wacky rigged) Those are top 3 that come to mind for walleyes. Each lake is different. Take Devils Lake, you might want to try a plastic shrimp as one of the main food sources is a type of fresh water shrimp. Bigger Cisco style bait might be better with deep lakes with lot of Cisco's. But for sure top 3 are minnow, leech, worm style baits.
@@ThenextbiteTvShow - why not use live bait? I've always wondered about that.
You could use live bait. Our minds are usually set in tournament mood. Most tournaments you can't use live bait and Gulp stays on your hook better for casting and when a small perch try's stealing your Live bait.
It is mostly a preference things.
Question: where do the big girls go in the summer ?
Depends on the lake. Summer Walleyes can be all over the lake. Start first at weed edges or even right in the thick cabbage weeds for the big ambushing females. Then look for deep rock humps and deep points. Then last trying to find the suspended open water walleyes that are chasing bait fish. If your lakes got thick Cabbage try casting in there. Big muskie, pike and walleyes are are mixed in waiting to ambush pray.
I think Gary should dye his hair green and gold 👍🇨🇦🎣
😆
Dont give away the secret!
LOLZZZ!😅🤣😂😆😁....oh, he said "fiiiiishhh" not...you know.....😳☺
are you trolling and at what speed?
looks like just drifting
you can troll very slow speed, anchor on structure, or drift at slow speeds. Just got to make sure you keep tight line to feel the bite.
@@ThenextbiteTvShow you guys are living the good life, thanks
15:06 someone attached an outboard motor to their house.
Pontoon party boat. Great for kids. You can put every inflatable toy you own inside on of these things and same time they are pretty good for fishing too smaller lakes.
Tomahawk? Kawaga?
West Battle Lake, MN
r you guys drifting,throwing out....what?
We are using the Trolling motor to anchor on the down wind side of humps. We each have one dead stick rod laying on side of boat with tight line using the waves to give the bait action. Then we are casting and ever slowly moving our drop shot weight. We may jog with trolling motor 10, 20 feet left or right depending on the size of hump.
Use a light baitcaster. WD40 the spool. Release the thumb bar and let the bait down slowly by thumbing the spool. By doing so, you will work the entire water column.... MUCH smoother than a spinning reel because you have a lot more control. TIP: if you run a tiller, use a left handed baitcaster. Cuz the handle will be on the easier side. Think about it... Isn't the handle of your spinning reel on the left ? Try switching it to the the right side. You'll quickly see how clumsy right handed reeling is, while running a tiller.
Agreed
Why are you wearing the masks? It looks dum!You should wear them when you talk to us!
reason being is when you spend as much time in the sun and water as these guys do. You tend to get skin cancer. A lot of pro fisherman have had skin cancer and the mask really help so you don’t have laser scares on your face from removal. Or maybe he planning on robbing a steep bank of all of its fish.
