It’s finally here! 🔥🔥 We the people, want the stache back!

[@NickLindner]

The true backstory about my lack of stache in this video is..... I was trimming it. My wife asked if she could use the trimmer to shape it up. She ruined it, so I had to shave it off lol

[@badcrispy3933]

Had a great day, first time in my own boat, hope you are having a great Opener!

[@NickLindner]

Right on! Glad you had a good time out there!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

[@bigel8857]

Thanks Nick! Good luck

[@NickLindner]

Thank, you too!

[@5199je]

Good video, Nick. Thanks for sharing.

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for watching!

[@fried_nice]

I knew the drop shot was coming. Can you do another video on drop shot? I saw your other video and enjoyed it so much.

[@NickLindner]

Haha, it just works! I’ll probably do more dropshot stuff in the future.

[@erics667]

Another great video! Audio is funky though FYI.

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for the heads up. Not sure what's going on with KZbin. The audio is clean on the video file. Seems like an issue with KZbin that hopefully gets fixed up soon.

[@cotypihlaja576]

Great tips. But where are the cranks for covering water. By far my best casting bait in the spring smaller jerk bait.

[@NickLindner]

Cranks are for sure a good option, especially trolling. Gotta love the nighttime trolling bite in particular

[@cotypihlaja576]

@@NickLindner also shadow raps and size 11 original floaters casting shallow weeds and sand tough to beat it.

[@asaandrews]

Nick, I’d sure like to know where to get that hat. Thanks!

[@NickLindner]

Hey! It’s on the Striker Brands website

[@asaandrews]

Thanks!!

[@topwaterwes2339]

Nick, will you help me back in my trailer?!

[@NickLindner]

100% anytime dude!

[@troylindner]

Does carp count for Opener?...

[@NickLindner]

100%!

[@audiemurphy677]

Tip 5 is "Gain more Karma" Helps catch walleye

[@NickLindner]

True! Very true

[@jjmcg9688]

What would you do at night?

[@NickLindner]

Definitely trolling on the flats with crankbaits. I should have discussed that in the video.

[@trimmin420]

Give me 5 places i can catch walleye without a boat, because i cant find any spots.

[@NickLindner]

1. Rivers 2. River mouths 3. Bridges 4. Wading out on sand flats 5. Nighttime casting off rocky shorelines can be excellent

[@trimmin420]

@@NickLindner No NO NOO not what i ment at all. Specific places a person can actually go to fish off shore. Not vague answers like you gave.

[@weisscrow]

Grammer matters. Walleye is the plural of walleye. If your gonna say walleyes, then b consistent and say "fishes*. Don't embarass us.

[@TheDewaltBoy]

Seatle down Einstein

[@NickLindner]

🤣 If grammar matters, then why are you on my case? Walleye and walleyes are both proper, acceptable plural forms of walleye. Funny enough, fishes is also an acceptable plural of fish. Haha

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

If you need to be spoon fed this kind of information just go golfing.

[@NickLindner]

Different folks need different levels of advice.

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

@NickLindner nah people need to work for it. Remember the old saying? You don't respect it if you don't work for it.
