Bruh.... best vid Ive seen for walleyes yet. Im a rocky mountain kokanee and trout fisherman and trying to get more into walleye fishing. I appreciate your info! Looks like I can use some of my kokanee baits with the smile blades for walleyes. the bottom bouncer rig is what I plan on trying first so this really helped me know how to set it up. we have 40 mph winds rolling through today with 4-8 inches of snow expected so might be a couple weeks before I can get the boat uncovered, but can't wait to get out and try it now. thanks again!
This is almost the only technique I knew how to use growing up. I've since expanded my horizons, but this is definitely a confidence method for me. Cool video.
I've been using bottom bouncers for years and years. Love them. Make my own two hook crawler harnesses. Two to three foot leaders, with 20 lb mono. It's enjoyable. Blades are getting totally sick! Beads and hooks also, as far as that goes. Always catch more from the crawler setup than any other lure, jig set up. So yeah totally agree with your setup. Enjoyed the video. Thanks😊
Thank you! You are so talented and knowledgeable. I appreciate your patience with our stupid questions on our guide trips with you. You never made us feel like bozos. We have put your teachings to work the best we can.
Just wanna say thanks for all the information you provide in your videos! Especially when it comes to looking for the underwater points and other waypoints to fish at on your depth finders! Really appreciate that! Just out of curiosity, when your fishing appoints like that is that specific for walleye only or other species as well?
Video is excellent that is my go to favorite method of catching Walleye for sure !! Always enjoy you videos i see you on the water about every weekend and I'm not one of the boats on top of you . LOL
Definitely missing the content but glad you finally got one in! Great vid as always bro 👊🏼 Sucks there’s no walleye down here to put vids like this to use!
Thanks Brian. I was doing pretty good on the Walleye up in Northern Minnesota but it turned off at my usual spots. Looking for a way to fish deeper water and this might be the ticket. Thanks for the video and good luck to you!
Got to add that your situation with other boats reminds me of my days as a a Pacific Salmon fisher. I learned that when all the boats turned north at the sea buoy it was better for me to turn south. It was because the fish were usually spread out and if I went the opposite direction as the fleet I didn’t have to split them with as many other boats.
Awesome video! Quick question, as you go up and over the humps and then cross the contours back and forth do you constantly let out more line or reel line in to stay just on or above the bottom?
Wish me luck getting a response after 2 years, but: where you were, was the bottom clean, gravel or rocky? What do you do differently based on the bottom makeup? How much depth change can a bouncer stand? Do you make passes in one direction? With, against the wind?
Typically they’re fishing along sandy, rocky areas, where sand meets rocky areas because that’s where Walleye typically always hangout, deep underwater away from sunlight. I typically fish with minnows in the spring time (spawning season), and when late spring-summer time arrives, I switch to plastics (jig worms, plastic worms, etc), typically when you’re fishing deep lakes, deep waters, you won’t find logs, twigs, or get caught up on much because you’re far away from shore, away from the garbage, weeds, logs, so normally you won’t have to worry much about gettting snagged (but it is possible tho). As far as wind, if you’re fishing from shore, don’t let the wind mess you up, if it’s windy, don’t let the wind deflect your straight cast, try to keep it as straight as you can, don’t let your line be far to your right or left
Thanks for the education! What's your preferred line counting reel? I've used the Cabelas Depthmaster II for several yrs but find the line counter reset function always seems to eventually fail. I'm trying Okuma now. Your choice? Thanks!!
So I tried bottom bouncing this year I only caught one. The only thing is that how do I know I’m touching the bottom and not dragging like I think I did it this year. If you can give some tips on that would be great thank you.
I've been on 3 safaris. 1 in Namibia and 2 in South Africa. You failed to mention one of the biggest expenses, tips. Every person you encounter expects to be tipped, and tipped very graciously. Figure minimum 100/day to your PH, then house manager, skinners, trackers, kitchen staff, maids, etc. For a 7 day hunt you better figure on 2 grand minimum. Awesome experience but not nearly the bargain they make it out to be
Nothing about true bottom bouncing involves letting out more line than the depth you’re in plus a few feet. Speed between .9-1.2mph, with the lines at a 45° angle, that’s it.
Depends on a lot of things. Mostly time of year and water temp. Speeds can vary between .8 and 1.5 depending on water temp and how the fish are acting. Colder water, more fishing pressure, slower speed. Higher water temp, faster.
As a writer, and a USCG licensed guide, I stress two important factors. Those being the hook point and wearing a life vest. A combination of 76 years on Lake Erie, and

Awesome walleye fishing buddy I haven’t seen much often around here yet of them catching walleye we don’t have a whole lot of them anyways but I do a lot basfishing recently caught my PB bass it was 100cm should go check it out on my channel I am a kid though but I get quite a bit of support love your content though😊
You are very talented at what you do. Trash talking fellow anglers does not set well with me. My opinion only. Not the way to grow a UA-cam channel. Sorry Brian
Not trying to grow a UA-cam channel. I’m a full time fishing guide and I do these videos for fun. Calling it like I see it is part of the deal, like it or leave it! 🤙🏻

It is certainly fun to build your own! I call it my little winter arts and crafts project. Thanks for watching
Excellent video..Agree on getting away from the crowd.Always works for me.
I didn’t realize it had been a whole month! Glad you’re staying busy, glad to have you back!

Anything that swims depending on the time of year
Great video showing how to fish walleye. I crappie fish and occasionally catch a walleye but would love to learn more on how to fish them.
Neat to learn a new way to fish. Don't see those "bouncy" baits down here in TX (that I know of). Thanks for the videos.
Great info 👍, thank you for the catch and release video. 😀
Video is excellent that is my go to favorite method of catching Walleye for sure !! Always enjoy you videos i see you on the water about every weekend and I'm not one of the boats on top of you . LOL
Always great to see you making a few videos
Glad you like them!
Thanks for taking the time to put together another great teaching video.
See you on your next "day off"..lol👍
I didn't know you have a channel. I've asked you for theses and didn't know you've done theses for a few Yeats. Thanks

Great video , with good instructions... I definitely learn from you and your videos ! Thanks
this is the best info on this way of fishing thanks
Yaaas. I’ve only caught one walleye with my limited fishing time. Thanks for the tips!
Always learning something from you!! Thanks a bunch Brian!
Thanks Brian, great video. Really appreciate the tips and technique!
Great video, Brian! Keep up the great work!
Great video I’m new to bottom bouncing so I learned a lot thank you
Thank you so much. The lesson was taught me so much
Awesome bud. Don’t forget to check the newest version too: ua-cam.com/video/q9XqG2qgWgQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing your tips and time ! Much appreciated!
Watch the video today so jealous. Still winter here in Manitoba. What line counter do you use?
Great catch buddy keep em coming!
Great vid! Very well explained. Excellent job.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Loved video learned a few things. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
Great video! Wish I would have been out there with ya for that hour lol
Thanks for the straight forward vids man

Really appreciate the information walleye is the fish I need to know more about thank you
Great video, just love the content.
Thanks!
Thanks for the education! What's your preferred line counting reel? I've used the Cabelas Depthmaster II for several yrs but find the line counter reset function always seems to eventually fail. I'm trying Okuma now. Your choice? Thanks!!
I’m not ready to make the spendy jump to Okumas yet, still using Depthmasters!
11/30/24, Okuma "Convector" around $100-120 with flipping switch, had them for 2 years trolling walleye on Columbia River, no issues, love them.
Thanks for sharing , great info !
Cool video! Great information!
Great episode thank you
Great video! What were water temps? Do you target certain depths based on water temp? If so, what temp correlates with what depth?
62-63. They can go pretty shallow with big wind into summer. Depths range from 15-2’
Are you looking for fish on side scan? Or just fishing through the contours?
Mostly just fishing through the contours but I’ll run side scan sometimes. Very small spots though.
Nice!! Love the walleye videos!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!!
The tug is the drug
Great video
What size weight are you using on this video ?
1.5 oz
Can you do a LiveScope and walleye ?
Maybe
So I tried bottom bouncing this year I only caught one. The only thing is that how do I know I’m touching the bottom and not dragging like I think I did it this year. If you can give some tips on that would be great thank you.
If your line is at more than a 45° angle, you’re dragging bottom.
@@KansasAnglingExperience thank you man!
Man you make it look so easy but i wanderd what speed you troll
1-1.5
Stockton? Sorry if you said it in the video, I had it muted. Shore looks familiar.
Great video !
Kansas
@@KansasAnglingExperience Oh ok, it looks like that flat on Stockton everyone hits.
Thanks
What lake in Kansas? I just bought a boat and live near Wichita. I’m wanting to try other lakes
Very nice video
Madison wi
What area do you guide?
Northeast Kansas.
Pink was on fire !
Can I get the deal on the suzuki?
Huh
What speed are you trolling?
1-1.2 mph
I’m a full time fishing buddy. Life is good.
Seems to be a high pressure lake. Hope there's a slot limit.
Nope. Slot limits are pointless in Kansas. No natural reproduction. It’s up to the anglers to selective harvest.
hell yea man!
Clinton or hillsdale?

Do you ever use plastic worms??
Sometimes. But on extremely pressured water like in fish it’s tough to beat the real thing.
Interesting that you don’t let out much line. Seems like your boat would cause fish to scatter.
Nothing about true bottom bouncing involves letting out more line than the depth you’re in plus a few feet. Speed between .9-1.2mph, with the lines at a 45° angle, that’s it.
We're definitely Spoiled here on Lake Erie 🙄
