Fantastic video! Good production value to boot. Thanks for the tips! Subscribed.

[@bobosterday3350]

Best video for fishing I have ever seen on KZbin. You weren’t selling anything! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@SmokeumPeacepipe]

a sandwich break always gets the fish biting. thanks for all the great tips! my buddies and i just got a small fishing boat, we will definitely use some of these tips!

[@InformativeFisherman]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@Mike-ul1xn]

awesome info! should do a broke man's bass boat episode someday lol

[@berkeley-mh8kk]

good stuff man! youve given me a ton of ideas thank so much. Fish on bro!!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thanks brother, will do!

[@BeetleBuns]

The Reading Rainbow bit had me on the floor... xD

[@gsflycaddis]

What weight did you use for the broke man downrigger? What do you recommend? Thanks. Good info, by the way.

[@thuvenvanwhenkl2573]

Just what I was looking for. I need downriggers for my pontoon, but don't want to deal with mounting and crap being in the way for family play days. Perfect! I have several old reels and a spoon of 65lb braid for catfishing I can use! Cost me literally nothing to set up now!

[@jameswelch4206]

The speedometer idea is great. My fish finder does not have that, so I will be trying the smart phone GPS speedometer...thanks.

[@RagnarrBjorn]

Great info! We have done the bucket thing for years and it does work really well. I have a couple of old reels and I am going to give this a try. What do you think about mounting them to the old lower halves of broken rods. This may help to keep the weights away from the boat a little better. I have several that I junk picked and have not done anything with. I may set up some kind of rig made from PVC pipe that will hold the "broke mans downrigger" off to an angle. If I figure something out, I will send you a photo, if I can figure out how to do it here on KZbin. Keep up the great work. Tight lines. Scott

[@InformativeFisherman]

I thought about trying it on a broken rod but have yet to try it. Yeah keep me posted I would like to see what you come up with, thanks!

[@scottheyboer5499]

Almost spent $90 on trolling bags! Thanks for the tips! Going to try the buckets before I spend the $$ on bags!

[@azoreking]

Nick, I just watched the video GREAT Info. do you have in detail how to create your poor mans downrigger? I PDF drawing? Thanks

[@freerobert12]

where to get sticky string and sliders? good info thanks!

[@ZachPheil]

Hey, my uncle gave me a fleuger bait caster, but the problem is I've never used one. I have used open faced reels my whole life, and I just can't seem to get the bait caster to work for me. Any suggestions?

[@thecardoc8234]

Might be a dumb question but is there a reason you need 80 pound braded line for that little amount of weighted balls?

[@InformativeFisherman]

I know I can drop the weights without worry is all

[@scottfoster9232]

At around 21 minutes..That guy in the green underarmor hat and blue river hoodie is a natural born star! I would like to see him in more videos

[@dude999642]

Awesome video.

[@briantheoyster]

oh snap, that balloon rig is awesome! have you ever caught a fish on it? you should devote a whole video to it, cuz that's hella crazy

[@ChrisMinMaine]

if you drill a few 1 " holes in your bucket it will slow you down even more because the water is forced through the holes. good vid.

[@xfiles1952]

how good is the bass fishing there

[@SuperFourwinns]

Flat awesome video.........................

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thanks!

[@Moe7133]

I love the iPilot!!! Set it and forget it! More time to fish!

[@jbicey]

Good video ..... keep it up bro

[@drhine2006]

Don't forget the schedule 40 PVC pipe rod holders, I run the poor man rigs for salmon, and the PVC Schedule40 rod holders are TOUGH and work well for people on a budget.

[@jackiebeene9609]

I get showing people how to fish like a "broke man" but if you can afford a single rod and reel, then you can afford a net. THEY ARE NOT THAT EXPENSIVE, and can save you from losing a fish or getting a hook in your hand which would in most cases cause a visit to the emergency room or an urgent care center.

[@JamesSmith-gg7wj]

Let alone it takes away stress from the fish. But not everyone has respect that some of us fisherman do.

[@edwardh1003]

I like the trolling bucket idea. Were you having any issues with the boat pulling to one side having only one bucket out? Would one bucket on each side work as well?

[@edwardh1003]

I also wanted to ask if the trolling bucket bangs up against the boat a bunch while you're trolling?

[@tedk9144]

He did say that he had another bucket on the other side. Also, I would guess if he set the rope length to make the top of the bucket end up exactly flush with the stern of the boat, then likely would not have a problem, but I've not verified this myself personally though.

[@edwardh1003]

@@tedk9144 I just realized that after watching the video again. That makes sense. I wonder if they would wobble not being stabilized up against the side of the boat.

[@tedk9144]

Hmm, definitely possible on the wobble...guessing it could be further mimimized by securing it with a "Y" shaped rope with ends of the "Y: attached at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions on the bucket.

Paste this in the search bro = Informative Fisherman - Baitcasting Reel Basics

[@catfishpatrol]

NICE!

[@vikings55eagles34]

he probably didnt need 80lb braid for those weights, but what does it hurt? ive been using alot of my own method for trolling, and getting by with what you have to save a couple dollars.. i have a 50hp 2 stroker on the back of my 16.5ft boat, but i use both my trolling motors to troll. not a whole lot of people have a big enough budget to buy a 4 stroke outboard. things are pricey as hell. also gps/chartplotter electronics are not expensive. the smallest humminbird gps/chartplotter can be bought around $100. a 55lb 12v tolling motor can be bought for less than $250. just a few hints for those of you who think you cant successfully troll for less than a couple thousand dollars on trolling gear, electronics, and motors..

[@InformativeFisherman]

Who would of thought???

[@robertstreams4362]

Use 1/2 an old rod with line counter reel to act like a downrigger boom to keep line out and away from boat...Put in cheap rod holder to hold it.

[@Broxty]

Who can't afford a used $30 manual downrigger? I'm a firm believer on using the right tool for the job.

[@fdyhdfhy]

Broxty $30? No way. Cheapest round here be $100-$150. $30!! I wish hahahaha

[@jeffwang6460]

How fast do you need to troll minimum? I want to try targeting trout by trolling out of my float tube

[@JamesSmith-gg7wj]

1-2mph

[@JamesSmith-gg7wj]

But it depends on what your trolling with. live bait go a little slower. i usually go 1.5mph with a spoon or something like a big dave davis silver spoon i would go maybe 1.75 or so mph. also depends on your depth.

[@molester9242]

What do we do if we don't have a boat

[@zzz7zzz9]

you win. now that would be the true "broke man". i'm watching this thinking, wait, he has a boat, he ain't that broke. and if you have a boat, trolling is free. this was just alternate ways of slowing down your speed and getting your line down.

[@dennisedwards8954]

Make friends with a boat owner!

[@emoe40]

Like it!!!

[@Daiwafisherman]

Nice Vid Nick. Next time, if no net, use the poor mans net, Your hat :)

[@InformativeFisherman]

Lol I thought about that

[@goated.nandeazy1570]

We're do you get the Orange thing

[@Get-Stuff-Done]

cool

[@InformativeFisherman]

Lol

[@rocketeer101]

Why was 28:55 called trolling?!

[@TheFrogfeeder]

If you can afford a boat and gas to troll, you can afford a net...this from a mostly shore fisherman with some electric canoe thrown in...

[@buttseckcausemerica9117]

I got trolled. Alert the forces.

[@jesusa8118]

👍🏼👌🏼

[@JamesSmith-gg7wj]

No excuse to not use a net.

[@IskDude980222]

Before I watch this video, I would like to say....... TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@pitsmcgoo]

[@crematedable]

[@Jeremyford1973]

[@johnfoat3277]
