Slip bobbers work great early in the season and work great in timber. From my own experiences, a plain hook sitting in one place with good bait will catch fish when nothing else works. Good luck!
I was using both Jason Mitchell Elite Series 8 foot telescoping and 71/2 foot spinning. In regards to where the best fishing is.... there is great fishing all over and that is what makes fishing so great, you can go to each body of water or each area and learn something different.
Awesome video, when is the best time to fish slips for walleyes?? I was gonna try this spring (early spring) in some heavy wood areas, wondering if im wasting my time and should just be jigging these areas,I lose alot of jigs fishing this area thats why I figured the slips would be better
Leave a little bit of tag end on the knot and cinch up tight with a needle nose pliers. They are always going to slide some but as you bring the fish close to the boat, don't reel the fish up to the rod tip. Good luck!
Man, awesome fishing Jason! What time of year were you fishing? What time of year do walleyes come close to shores like you were fishing? And how deep was the water? Thanks for any help buddy.
We find fish close to the shorelines most of the year on Devils Lake where this was filmed but the period of time from early May to mid June is prime. I usually like to target five to ten feet of water. Good luck!
Jason Mitchell Outdoors Thanks Jason for the suggestions! I am new to walleye fishing and your advice will give me an idea where to start fishing. Thanks bud.
Long story short I’m from the south but currently reside in Minnesota. I’m new to walleye fishing but yet can and do land walleye. So with that b n said I noticed u use 20lb bionic braid. I thought 6-8 lb braid with a flouro leader was best for walleyes ? I was made fun of for deep sea fishing when i got here because of my equipment and heavy line. Are you using 20lb line because of the debris and wooded structure ? Or is that a norm for you and slip bobber fishing 🎣 ?
+Uncle Wreckum I like the heavier braid because of all the wood as you do get snagged a lot but I also use it because the bobber stops grip it much better. Most jigging and rigging I use 6-10 lb braid and a lot of 6 lb mono for jigging.
Unless you are using barb-less hooks,having to reach way back into the throat of the fish to remove the hook with your pliers in pretty much every case causes enough damage to the fish to kill it. So, instead of putting them back into the lake it would be better to take them home to eat.
awalt26439 Most cases, the hooks were in the roof of the mouth and just because you use a pliers doesn't mean that you kill the fish. If we deem that a fish is bleeding bad from the gills, we will keep it. It is possible for some mortality on released fish but the mortality is guaranteed if you keep it.
We like the thicker braid around wood because of the snags but also because the bobber stops stick to the heavier braid much better versus lighter braid. Straight mono just stretches too much in the snags and you can't lift bigger fish as well out of the branches.

I guide for walleye in Canada, All my clientele are Americans. Therefore Canada is where it's at.
Man i love catching walleyes. Jiggin, bouncin, crankin, slippin....can't wait for spring.
Great relaxing video. Sometimes those fishing shows with pumped up music over it, kill the mood. thanks enjoyed it.

Great way to introduce people to walleye fishing who normally do not get the opportunity.
Thanks for a great video, love those walleyes up here in lbdn

Jason Mitchell Outdoors Hello Jason. Is the telescopic 8' rod no longer available? Cannot seem to find it anywhere...
T fggggg,go,to
My personal favorite way to catch walleye..other than ice fishing. Deadly on lake Winnebago. Nice vid!
North Dakota is where it's at for walleyes!
Great video. Chilled vibe.
Great info! I use slip bobbers for walleye on some of the inland lakes in northeast Ohio. Want to try it on Lake Erie.
Going for walleye in the morning. Never actually targeted them before. Hoping to catch leeches tonight and take the boat for its first trip.
This is a great video! Nice job!
Very nice video. No ridiculous music either. My brother has one of them Yar Craft, nice boats.
i love fishing devils lake. there is nothing like setting a hook and realing in a fish.

What live bait do you prefer in late July ?
I like 1:50 bobber shot
good tips! Great fish!
also, how high do you suspend from the bottom when fishing shoreline with timber?
I have trouble with my slip bobber knot sliding down my line when it catches on my rod eyes. What do you use and how to prevent this issue?
Leave a little bit of tag end on the knot and cinch up tight with a needle nose pliers. They are always going to slide some but as you bring the fish close to the boat, don't reel the fish up to the rod tip. Good luck!
Don't use the string kind of bobber stop, use Speed Stops.
Wow! Nice fish here in NJ There not huge huge but kinda huge
when using a slip bobber in the weeds, do you suspend above the tops or go deeper?
ya Jason is the best
Good video. Very informative!
do you ever have troubles because the panfish nibble on your bait? If so, any way to fish around the panfish to catch walleye's?
We have had the best luck by using big leeches to keep the panfish away.
Cool video. What pound test for the mono lead?
If there are a lot of pike around, I use 14 lb Flouro but usually 8-10 pound mono.
What is that flying over Jason's back at 8:15? Looks like cameraman is shooting a rubber band at him haha!
Thanks Jason Mitchell for teaching All of us to 🎣 yahoo!
Jeff Cummings 👍👍👍
What pound was your mono leader?
good video thanks
Hey Nice video! Is it a good idea to fish slip bobbers from shore over deep weeds in 10-13 feet of water?
Slip bobbers work great from shore as it will suspend your presentation above the weeds. Good luck!
Can I ask you what net you are using?
Awesome vid!!! How long do you let the bobber stay under water? I was told 10-15 seconds then tighten up the slack and set the hook.
Thanks for watching! We like to hit them right away with leeches just so they don't swallow the hook when they are biting well.
Anywhere I can buy one of those hats?

I've caught 3-8 catfish using bobers and livers
YOu use leach?
Yes, great bait for walleye
Oh! no.. I'm scared of leach, even worms....lolz.,..but I love to fish sometime. And this video looks fun.
this is great..
Maybe reuse leach?
I really like big leeches on Devils Lake.
or Minnesota.
Hi
The north west end.
or Wisconsin
Two rods wow in Canada I’d be in jail lol
good eye sight chad lmao
whenever I fish on leeches for walleye I always catch catfish
You'll have that. I catch them on minnows constantly here in Ohio as well as leeches....Can't keep them off the hook. Lol
Canada is best for walleyes and northern and maybe brookies but muskies and brown trout is the best in wisco!
Eagle lake, Ontario,
20 lb test line for walleyes? lol
