I don't even wait for the dog days of summer to start trolling. Once that water hits the high 60's, I'm trolling stick baits with good success. One of the things that surprises me is why don't more people use downriggers especially when trolling deep or on deeper flats. Long lining, lead core, and dipsy divers works alright, but I've found the most consistent success trolling is with a downrigger. I get a lot of weird looks when I mention walleye fishing and downriggers in the same breath, but I tend to catch walleye in the summer when others aren't. One of the more underutilized tools when walleye fishing.

Best part about Eye Candy plastics is they do not die. Easiest way to afford the short shank tungsten jigs.

@FJB24713 күн бұрын
I’m still using the 4 inch northland smelt minnow, for me it outfishes the eye candy 5-1. Had a trip on millacs earlier this year where it was more like 10-1. Other guys in boat were using eye candy and the smelt minnow was dominant, and I’m guessing guys are adding scent to the eye candy is because the smelt minnow will out fish it most days as they are already scented from factory.

The heat is killing mine. Was 90 outside and they were in my storage in boat and 1/2 were junk. I do love them but have to be cold weather and water baits. Good for the company I assume.

@@dionbrandt6176 yeah that caught me by surprise I mean I’m out for a max of 4hrs (normally 2-3) in high 70 to low 80 degree weather and I rigged up a bunch of combos with jigs and tossed them back in the eye candy bag in my backpack sitting on a dock and by the time I got home 6 of them had tails melted off

I have these jigs and have been using them. Honestly, the hooks in these jigs aren’t the best, they need to make them with a gamakatsu hook like the smeltinator and marabou jigs. Also, the red eyes fall off pretty quick. I give this jig a 6 out of 10.

I have always used bass colouring for walleye lures and plastics. This spring however I have slayed on some bright plastics. I think this spring has opened me up to the idea of having a dark colour and a bright in your face colour tied on at the same time. This has been a good opener for me in northern Alberta.

Here are some tips for handling and releasing fish: Use wet hands: Wetting your hands helps keep the fish's slime coat intact and prevents bacteria growth. Handle gently: Avoid squeezing the fish, touching its eyes, or putting your fingers in its gills. Keep the fish in the water: The longer a fish is out of the water, the lower its chance of survival. Release headfirst: When you do need to handle the fish, release it gently and headfirst. Use a release tool: Use a dehooker, recompression tool, or rubberized landing net to minimize handling. Support the fish's weight: Support the fish's weight along the length of its body. Avoid hanging the fish: Never suspend the fish by its mouth or lip. Resuscitate a sluggish fish: Face the fish into the current until it regains strength.
