- This was my first-ever time fishing the south basin of Lake of the Woods in open water. It was a fun learning experience and I was able to put a number of walleyes in the net.

Love these videos, keep them coming! 🔥
100% dude. I've been watching all your stuff the last several weeks, too, btw 👌
@NickLindner heck yeah!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching Jered
Those eats from those high fliers 🔥🔥
So fun!!
Such good average size fish! Thanks for the video Nick!
You can't beat the size out there if you know how to target the better ones!
Great video! Thanks Nick!❤️🎣
Thanks for watching, Evan!
Looks like fun!
It is very fun indeed!
Love to see you up on LOTW!! Love that lake!! You picked a sweet day to fish!!
It was beautiful weather! Had to run up there fo a day trip with how nice it was.
Would really like to see a live video using your main engine while scanning with your trolling motor. Might be just the ticket for the tiller guys and a pole mount transducer. Any how, thanks for the content again, great job !
It worked really well. I think that would be my go-to tactic if I fished out there a lot.
Another great and informative video, always learning something!
How was the Rainy trip? Any size walleye or smallmouths?
Didn't run into any smallmouth. We caught a nice mess of walleyes though. Good size, too, of course!
Another epic video. I've really enjoyed watching these this summer. It's my first in my own boat, strictly targeting walleye all Summer. I've had a bunch of really good success getting the 14s, 15s, 18s, 19s on my local lake. I know there has to be bigger ones, but I'm struggling to find them and target them. I'd love to hear you talk about how to work your jig and minnow, jig and eyecandy, jig and crawler presentations when they are suspended? Do you let it fall to the bottom and work it back up?
You can let it fall to the bottom, and let them eat it off the bottom if the follow it down. But I like to pop it above them, like I did in this video.
@@NickLindner Thanks Nick! You've been a huge help. Love your content.
Awesome
Thanks Scott
Yeah it's funny how some of those launches and charters get mad if you come too close to them but they're not afraid to come cruising by you and not slowing down... Should have told him ,Thanks for the waves buddy!!
Yeah, I just don't understand why folks need to salty at each other on the water. There's no need to run big boats close to folks on purpose.
@@NickLindner I know exactly what you're saying. It's happened to me out there too.. I thought the same thing. Are you coming to say hi 🤔
Hey Nick - love your walleye content. Just curious what forward facing live you’re using and what your settings are. Thanks
Hey! Thanks for watching! It's an LVS34 on a GPSMap8610. I did a video with my setting not long ago. It's a couple videos back on my channel, if you were interested.
I wanna do this so baddddddd
Same! I want to spend 10 days up there doing it tbh
Are you targeting off shore structure, or just meandering about, scanning, and sniping? Regardless solid fish buddy!
Thanks! I was targeting meandering around in the basin in this video. The structure can play sometimes though.
Isn't it August that LOTW 30"+ record holder has caught most of them?
I guess I’m not sure!

Out alone... Spot lock trying to knock you over.... Hmmm ? No life jacket ???
I agree, it wouldn't have been a bad idea to have it on! Almost no wind though (and warm water), so I doubt I was in danger at any point if I would have flipped out.
Good "Eyeballs" :)
Much appreciated!
FFS stands for…..?
Forward facing sonar, like Livescope
Are you driving around with 2D sonar first to locate a school then stopping and using ffs?
On this day, I found I could cover more water going full speed with FFS. But I did use 2D to find areas with more baitfish.
That ain’t fishing. Those fish will not survive coming out of 30’. Sad the lake is not healthy.
"That ain't fishing"
.... LOL, you're right. I was obviously knitting.
"Those fish will not survive coming out of 30’."
.... Most of the fish were suspended in this video, but even fish eating off the bottom will likely be fine.
"Sad the lake is not healthy."
.... Just because you can't catch 'em doesn't mean the fishery sucks!
I’m just wondering if FFS is legal is it okay if I use dynamite? Same thing!
@bobosterday3350 dynamite is not catch and release.and your comment is stupid.
@@Mike-xi4zt why is it stupid? The fish don’t have a chance, just like dynamite! Think of it this way. If I’m deer hunting and put out a salt lick, some apples, and a timed feeder and sit there and wait for the deer, is that hunting?
lol okay bob 😂
@@bobosterday3350it would be more like using a thermal drone to find deer not baiting them.
@@bobosterday3350 they do make fish feeders, but he wasn't fishing by one. 😅 Oh, and it's tough to "catch-and-release" while hunting...I suppose that'd be more like selective harvest.
