Spring Walleye fishing can be excellent if you can dial in the right pattern and presentation. In this video I catch a quick limit of Walleye while jigging worms on the upper Columbia River.

Got skunked or more so, the wind blew me off the lake. Bit cold still in Idaho

Yes, but I've been riding the struggle bus here in NE Ohio. 1 walleye in 2 outings. Warm, sunny and very clear conditions are not helping either

Have been out chasing them in Idaho but has been pretty slow

Tried soda lake last week. Wish I would have watched this first! I was trolling in a kayak but should have been jigging. Did well on trout at a different seep lake though!

I don’t jig as much as I use bottom bouncers, but even when I’m bottom bouncing I use a bait caster with a flipping switch. I actually use my max dlc digital line counters because they have the flipping switch and they pull double duty for Kokanee fishing. The quantum accurist is another good bait caster with a flipping switch I have used as well.

Set the hook so hard you got a shock gobble!😂 I’m with ya I’d rather land fish with hook sets than miss em. Great video

I use a quantum accurist pt. They come with a flipping switch and are built like a tank but really light weight. I use mine for lake trout, walleye, and whitefish in northwest Montana. Keep putting out the great content.

Okuma makes a reel with the flipping brake that you can turn off and on. I will look at the one I have on my bobber rod when I get home and comment what model it is.

@nateparker5232 2 ай бұрын

It's not okuma. It's quantum accurist s3. Pretty sweet reel has a lever that you switch it from flipping to free spool

baitcaster: looks like you need a left hand reel.

Agreed or I could just put the camera boom on the other side of the kayak and jig on the left 😂🤣

Walleye has been really weird this year. With the water flow off lake Spokane. Water temps been cold. Got a couple 22 and 18 inchers last week bare super slow death with night crawler hook 3 onz bottom Walker . They would barley bite it then you pull it out of rod holder drop your pole back was they only way to catch them ..

Yeah strange water year. They haven't let any water out of Roosevelt but the other pools are all low.

I chased some Smallmouth at Potholes, but the bit was weak. I only caught a couple and lost one.

Caught my first walleye on Roosevelt by drifting and jigging night crawlers. Wind was unreal, total struggle to stay straight vertical. Any recommendations for fishing Roosevelt?

Use really heavy jigs at Roosie 3/4 to 1 oz will help you keep contract with the bottom. I

Try the "Mega Bass Dark Sleeper". Looks just like a sculpin.

Couple tech questions my friend. What camera mount do you use on your kayak, and are you a GoPro or DJI action camera user? Nice Walters brother.

@user-rk6sk1pm4b 2 ай бұрын

Tyler… watching this video, I gotta ask, doesn’t the right hand reel drive you nuts? Switching hands, reaching over to close the release. I went to left hand retrieve years ago and never looked back. Is it just what you’re used to?

@spiltmilt 2 ай бұрын

It does. I want to get a left hand one with the auto flip for the drag system.

@user-rk6sk1pm4b 2 ай бұрын

@@spiltmilt I switched back before my kayak days. The left hand rudder makes it even more difficult I bet. I have seen how when trolling you sometimes use one lefty and one righty on the corresponding sides of the yak. That’s an interesting idea.

@hitstick567 Ай бұрын

When I jig I try to float with the wind. I notice that a lot of times I find my bait getting far ahead of me while I move. How do you best deal with keeping your life under your yak while drifting?

@spiltmilt Ай бұрын

Use heavy lures, thin braid to reduce drag, and I use my pedal drive or motor to keep everything as vertical as possible
