We were using 2oz. bottom bouncers. The float helps to lift the lure out of the snags, if you imagine the rig running, the bouncer is tapping bottom now and then while the lure trails back and up so that it goes over the snags... that's the theory anyway. I've been experimenting with rope weights which seem to be even more snag-free...
Not that I'm aware of... but you can find him on Facebook and ask... (Name in the credits). I think he recently moved to NY. I can say this, if you have the gear, this technique works! We've been out several times since...
Young Guns Angling, I may be turning into the feild of which you ask of, however I do travel all over to fish for walleye. I am in the works of starting a guides business built around walleye fishing in the summer time. This year probably not however I am hoping that I can start something next season. Right now I am currently learning new places over in new York State. I fish for walleye on the Hudson river, "different sections", Mohawk river, erie Canal, onieda lake, saratoga lake, the great Sacandaga, different bays off of lake Ontario that are a hit or miss with weather. There are a few more places I want to try but for now thats the list I got going. Also I can still fish the Connecticut River just I would have to travel over that way not an issue. Please looking me up on FB and message me for more details.
Best speeds are .9mph to 1.5mph for bottom bouncing rigs. I find that the bigger ones like it slower then faster however very stealthy if you don't know what your looking for u might think your bouncer hit the bottom real quick but really a walleye has it in its mouth and it's just following along. Many times ive pulled baits up thinking why hasn't this had any action? Ohhh no worm that's why 😂.
How has nobody shown this guy the correct way to use a bump board?.. the head (the hard end) goes on the other side :) the soft fin collapses the way he keeps doing it. unbelievably cringy.
Love walleye fishing. Almost time!
Nice work boys!
I’m on that section of river every weekend!
Nice! Have you been out 2020? Any fish biting?
2:42 "and that's what you want.... so it looks longer than what it is". LOL yeah, don't we know it buddy!
What size bottom bouncer are you using and does the little float on the spinner matter ?

Vermont Master Anglers I wonder if a worm blower would work I tied up some worm harnesses but I only had a few small beads and small cheap spinners
Sp33dyswhitness - it’s worth a try. One thing about those smile blades is that they turn at incredibly slow speeds
I use anything from 2oz to 4oz I like my 4oz for deeper lakes like 60+ feet then im only out 100-120ft of line to get down there.
does he guide trips at all?

What speed are you trolling?
Roughly 1mph... We trolled slower for a bit but it was much harder to detect bites...

Oops my B, I'm too darn used to grabbing a tape and unrolling it over the fish. Duely noted about 2 years ago! Sry.
