Go Angling – Three Bulletproof Presentations for Early Season Walleyes E1

Our first show in the #GoAngling Series presented by Gander Outdoors is live on YouTube:

Join Pat McSharry as he offers up three bulletproof presentations for early season walleyes.

This was well done and its cool to be able to continue to watch IDO through the warm months! Nice job all! Make sure to give it a watch.

When you are casting the rippin raps or plastics on a sharp break like that are you casting down and pulling up or casting up and pulling down?

I watched this the other day and am happy to finally see IDO on an open water show. Thank you.

I really enjoyed the clip. My only feedback would be to show a bit more the set up for each. (lure, rod/line selection etc.). I was trying to zoom in/look, but was a bit hard to tell.

Shockers – did you watch the related videos linked at the end? Every “main” video we put out will have supporting videos linked at the end. We have a video dedicated to rods, reels, line that goes into the detail I think you’re looking for called “Gear Guide.” Check it out and let us know if that answers the questions you had. The attachment taken at 8:42 of the video shows what to look for.

Hopefully I’m not stepping on Pat’s toes by answering but 99% of the time the boat is held deep and the lure is cast to the shallows then worked back out to the boat. Doing this in reverse puts the boat in shallow water which has the potential to spook the fish you’re trying to catch.

Thanks, James! I apologize for not noticing that at the end (I’d suggest the narrator/Pat pimping that during the main segment – for more in-depth info on the gear used, check out the links at the end of this video….).

The info is excellent – exactly the type of info I was looking for. Really glad to see you guys offering these new features. (I’d love to see the Gear Guide stuff on the longer, winter episodes, too. Sorta like your Spot on the Spot features, which I find great).

I think you missed that too. The voice over towards the end of the video says nearly that exact same thing. of course that’s understandable because this is the first time we’ve ever linked out additional content at the end of a video.

We will have short videos linked at the end of every main Go Angling video all summer. Keep your eyes peeled for them if you’re looking for additional information.

I really enjoyed these videos and look forward to this series as the summer progresses. Nice work

Lets see if I can explain this without making it confusing. Simply put, yes I was holding the boat deeper than the fish and casting shallower.

I was actually drifting down the break line about 5′ deeper than most of the fish were sitting. Most of the fish were sitting in 10′. I drifted the boat parallel to the break line in about 15′. I would cast down the break line at a 45 degree angle to shallower water.

It allows you to still fish other parts of the depth range to pick off stray fish that might be in say 7′ or 12′, but your bait stays inside that zone for a lot longer than if you were to cast perpendicular to the shoreline break. On a steep break, casting at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to shore, the amount of time that your bait is in a certain depth range is not very long.

If you cast parallel to the break at say a 45 degree angle, you just doubled the amount of time your bait is in an intended depth range.

Hi Pat,
Nicely done video, I know I will enjoy you new IDO
Go Angling series.
This weekend I HAVE to go to North Dakota with a friend
and his annual group. It will be my first time in ND.
Very much looking forward to it, and using your early season
presentations.
Thanks again for the Timely video,
and Good Luck James on the new Series,
A very long time fan and supporter,
Jack
