Thanks for watching guys! Don't leave the nightcrawlers at home next time you hit the water. Thanks to my buddy Brad Hawthorne for sharing some good hooking tips in the second half of the video 🔥
These are the exact kind of "so simple everyone knows" tips that not ALL of us actually know 😅 that help SO much.. keep these "quick tip" videos coming 😉
Glad I could help Mike. I think there’s a lot of value in videos like this. Like you said, not everyone knows some of this stuff. And 99% of videos don’t actually demonstrate some of these little things.
This is embarrassing to admit but I have been fishing for over 20 years and have never know to hook them this way.....cant wait to try this out. Also on a side note, when trolling for Walleye what speeds are you targeting? Thanks!
Over here in the UK, there an age old method where you can make the worms float. You simply take a syringe and inject air into the end you want to float. This may work well with the above techniques. BEWARE: Do not do this while holding the worm in your hand, as accidentally injecting air into yourself can be fatal. Use a hard surface. Raymondo. x
Great tips. For me, I break them in half, hooking through open end. Typically they're long enough. Then I like jigs with a wire batikeeper pushing the crawler down onto it.
Nick, is there a set direction to place the hook on the line (Pre-polomer knot) when setting up the dropshot to make sure it ends upright? Great videos..
I like fishing with nightcrawlers i usually cut them in half before putting them on the hook and i made my own rig for both fishing on the bottom and for fishing with a bobber
I save the crawler tails and hook them on just jig the the first time through the nose, the jigs i use have a wire bait keeper that pokes through the crawler skin, and holds the tails on pretty good,the walleyes seem to hit the tails just as good as the nose hooked 1/2 crawlers.
Can I just use a regular hook followed by a swivel/sliding weight and bobber? Also how much line between the bobber and the hook do you recommend? I think I’m fishing in like 8-10’ of water
5:00 is more like it. Hook in thru the gizzard, avoiding brain and hearts. I also do a 180 twist and skin hook a bit more - makes the crawler squirm to untangle for the rest of its life.
@@NickLindner Or you could try using a size 8 panfish hook, a fine wire hook, not a bait holder, and see what a worm that's alive and provides its own action does for you.

Definitely agree! So easy to share with other people also!
Crawlers have become a bigger part of my walleye arsenal. I'll be using these tips in the future. Thanks, Nick. Good video!
Thanks for watching John. Glad you got some value 👍

Let me know how it goes! I like to pull spinners for walleyes around 1mph.

Thank you for the informational videos! As a brand new fisher, they have been very helpful.
Glad I can help Logan!

That’s a good option, too!

Right on! Anything you can do extra to get more out of a crawler is great
Awesome info Nick
Thanks Scott!
Great tips Nick. Just curious, do you prefer crawlers over minnows as a general rule?
Yes I do!
Can I just use a regular hook followed by a swivel/sliding weight and bobber? Also how much line between the bobber and the hook do you recommend? I think I’m fishing in like 8-10’ of water
I think that could work. 5-6 feet of line under the bobber at those depths.
Good class thanks Oregon
Thanks Darrell
Brad’s first method is what I have done!! Much easier to get them threaded up!! Squirmy little suckers!!
I prefer the straight method typically, but sometimes those squirmy crawlers drive me crazy after I try to get the perfect hooking for 60 seconds.
Where can i get those cool hook?
Northland Tackle's website!

Right on. I like to get 'em good so he doesn't fly off on the cast.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Good information

The white part is the head
Nice!
I never thought there wad a wrong way to hook a worm on a hook.
Not "wrong" way, but some ways are better than others!
full ok
Full thanks

Hooking a worm like shown in the thumb nail is going to kill it pretty quick.
That's okay, my jigging is the action.
@@NickLindner So you might as well go plastic.
@@peterolbrisch8970 I wish! Unfortunately it doesn’t always work like that
