    So this past year I started trying dropshot for the first time. It’s such a great technique, I’ll say that when no one else was catching fish I was crushing them with the dropshot. This technique is and excellent presentation that I will be keeping in the toolbox. Very easy to learn as well. Lately I’ve been catching tons of bass from shore with a dropshot

      @@NickLindner Hi Nick...How are you related to Al and Ron? I got to know Ron and his wonderful wife, and family, during the years they wintered in Naples, FL during the 1990s. At the time, I was running offshore charters off the Marco Island/Naples coasts. Ron fell in love with slow drift jigging with the Crippled Herring (CH), a metal jig that I created in the early 1980s. Prior to that, Al discovered the Crippled Herring while passing by a demo of the CH in the "Hog Tank" at a Detroit outdoor show. That led to the explosion of my manufacturing business because of Al's generous media support. Eventually, Rapala founder Ron Weber joined Ron L. because of his drift jigging enthusiasm. It was my second metal jig, the Kandlefish, that I subsequently created for Ron Weber. It has emerged as the most effective salmon jig presently on the Pacific market. My summers are now spent on a salmon research vessel, working for the WDFW (WA State Dept of Fish & Wildlife). In closing, I consider these two Rons as special friends and was deeply saddened when they passed away. Keep up your fantastic work, Nick!

    Good Video. Now, the hook knot. I use a double uni to get the hook to sit out straight. You put your hook on, do a simple loop then thread the hook thru the loop 6-8 times, wet and pull the main line / tag end to set the hook straight out to the side. Easy Peasy. The Palomar knot is not the right knot choice for a drop shot rig. Interesting how you got it to work for you. ;)

    I keep the weight on the lines a little higher than necessary because sometimes when they bite it and rip it from an aggressive bite it just snaps right off and I hate losing fishing like that. My mainline is 15lb and I never felt the need to go higher for freshwater fish. 10lb is a lot more comfortable and I have a 6 lb leader line.

    Are walleye spooked by the vertical line? Wouldn't dropper loops be preferred to get the hook away from the leader? (Still can use palomars to tie-on...)

    Probably already mentionsed but there is 100% other knots you can use. There is one that works really well. Palomar is a good one but if you find that it is not sitting as straight as you would like look up drop shot knots. As far as what you said about getting lots of smaller ones on this set up I think worms in general get all fish including lots of smaller ones.

    How hard do you think it is on the fish catching them in 30 feet bringing them up i caught a 28 3/4 inch walleye this summer in 22 feet played the fish the whole why to the boat then experience it got its eyes blown out i felt very terrible about the outcome of the situation 😢

    • @NickLindner
      @NickLindner  8 месяцев назад

      Honestly, it depends on a lot of factors. But 30 feet is right on the edge of the danger zone for deepwater walleye fishing.

    Nick,
    I was just watching your dropshot video. I was wondering if you could tell me what the round instrument is on your console beneath your large graph. Is it a Hawkeye depth sounder? If so, are you satisfied with how it operates (real-time data about depth changes, etc.)?
    Thanks!

    • @NickLindner
      @NickLindner  Год назад

      Hey Michael. What you’re seeing is probably just a standard stock gauge for something on the boat. I’d love to have one of those devices to read deeper water temps, but I don’t have one. I’ve heard they’re great.

    • @michaelmoller5218
      @michaelmoller5218 Год назад

      @NickLindner I had looked into a less expensive device (compared to a flasher that can be used on open water, but is somewhat costly) for measuring real-time depth changes. I'm kind of a Buck Perry disciple and like to be able to precisely determine break lines. Anyway, since I wasn't able to find anybody who was able to provide me with a "performance review" of such devices, I bit the bullet and added a Vexilar Edge to my boat. The Edge has a 10° cone angle for determining more precise/real time depth changes as well as 2D sonar (40° and/or 10°). Thanks for your response.

      Honestly, it can depend on the depth you’re fishing, how high the walleyes are off the bottom, etc. but as a general rule of thumb, I’m usually around 1.5 feet.

      They have different line and weight configurations. Lindy rig allows the bait more freedom to swim around. Dropshot is more rigid, but also more precise
