Hate for you to tear up those pretty seats. Good job!!! Trying to learn this. Been watching Mike Baker. Glad to see you sir.

[@BMeintzfishing]

Thanks for watching. Mike Baker is a legend and I’ve learned a ton from watching his video. Hope I can contribute a little to you getting into it. The seats are now out of the boat.

[@lostviking540]

Cant miss those Yellow seats! Good job and great video 😊

[@BMeintzfishing]

The stick out pretty good.....Thanks for watching

[@lmieneroutdoors]

Subscribed and picked up some bandits today. Not interested in scoping at all, I’d like to try this out. Thanks for the good info and tips

[@BMeintzfishing]

Thanks for watching

[@lmieneroutdoors]

Is there any chance that the line diameter is just too visible? Idk what speed you are trolling at, but if relatively slow I could see that impacting the bite

[@BMeintzfishing]

I typically troll starting at 1.6 which looks slow on camera but you are actually moving pretty good.

[@jamesrinck1329]

I’m going out asap. I really appreciate your help booked and subscribed. Saw you on the LOZ page!

[@lmieneroutdoors]

@@BMeintzfishing got it! Yeah 1.6 is much faster than it appears on camera. Thanks man

[@herbertwheeler2438]

If your bait is running true it doesn't matter what line you use they will vibrat

[@BMeintzfishing]

It’s true that it will vibrate to some degree with any line, however, you get the most vibration with braid.

Precision Trolling app says 300 Bandits 150 feet back will run 20 feet deep 10# berkley fire line

[@BMeintzfishing]

I've looked into that app. What's your thoughts on it?

[@tomadkins486]

I also walleye fish on Lake Erie it is a great app they are always adding baits. I think it’s pretty accurate too. Tight lines buddy

[@martinheuser4781]

What trolling speed ?

[@danielsimon461]

what rod holders do you like

[@BMeintzfishing]

[@danielsimon461]

[@lostviking540]

Millennium only way to go! More adjustment than all the others

[@herbertwheeler2438]

What state are you fishing in north south Midwest???

[@BMeintzfishing]

[@floydqiillen5332]
