  1. As I have recently joined Southtowns Walleye, I’m looking for a charter captain who does bottom bouncing so that I might pick up some pointers as I plan to start fishing for walleye/perch in this manner. I’ve been a bass fisherman for 50 years but plan to switch over to Walleye now that I’ve purchased a new boat that allows me more freedom to target other fish. Tried harnesses over the summer and fall with some successes but would like to learn more. Any suggestions will be appreciated . . .

     

  2. Thanks for the heads up, will start researching you tube for more information. Just got A new boat this year, figured I d start targeting walleye & perch, haven’t quite got the boat set up yet. Kinda leaning towards setting up for bottom bouncing, seems that’s the easiest and most economical right now, but putting the boat up soon. Hope to get to the walleye assoc mtgs for more information too!

  3. The only method ive Tried is bottom bouncing a worm harness, haven’t tried any other methods, not sure how to. Anyways I troll anywhere from .7- 1.8. Just picked up some rods with leadcore on them but haven’t tried them, need to check out You Tube

    Those eyes.... there are a lot of variables to account for. Today my screen was some of the best all year with fish from 65- tight to the bottom. Straight out of the Catt was awesome today. I used purple crankbaits on leadcore on two outside rods and a dipsy with a purple worm harness on my 3rd pole. I was only able to put the third pole out once bc the bite was so hot. Idk what to tell ya other than there is definitely fish out there from 65-85 ft all over. The hard part is figuring out how to get down there to them. I guess u gotta figure out what works. Try crankbaits though. Also I hate tipping stuff bc it really effects the motion of the lure or spoon. Maybe that’s just me. 

    Tans I appreciate any words of wisdom

  5. What am I doing wrong, I was out of the Catt this morning, started out in 80fow, didn’t mark any fish . . Traveled west to out n front of the windmills in 70fow . . . No fish. Through out a chartreuse worm harness, not one bite, through ou another rod with a purple spoon tipped with a worm . .

    nothing . . . 6 hrs didn’t mark anything 2:30 decided to started in, switched to a triple D worm harness blue/black/clear nailed a 28” steelhead in 50’ of watertrolled for another hour and a half, marked nothing, decided to call it a day. It’s hard for believe everyone is limiting out and I don’t see anything, this was like my third time out in the last 30 days without marking fish, or able to catch more than one fish!

  6. Question for all members, i have a Helix 7 SI GPS unit that I purchased last year that I haven't been able to get the SI or DI to work properly. Does anyone else have a unit like this that is working on their boat that I could switch my unit with to see if it might be my transducer and see if it works on their boat. This was the suggestion that Hummingbird gave me to verify if it was a problem with the head vs the transducer . . .
