*I love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I’m using it for my 1.0 Crankbaits and small Jerkbait. Paired with my Assassin. Works great, feels great. Would definitely recommend this setup.*
nice video!!! i gotta get on the walleye bite this year!!!
This is all golden tips. This channel should have more subs!
🙏 thank you!
ill confirm this works for walleye but also other species as well especially white and yellow perch. Use a deeper diving jerkbait and troll at a slow to moderate speed.
Great Video....i love it
Nice J-Mitch!
Target Walleye
What equipment- rod, reel, line etc?
Thanks
Running the 8’6” JM Telescoping Trolling Rods paired with the Scheels Outfitters Coldwater SX line counter spooled with ten pound Fireline.
Jason or anyone who knows the Devils Lake area. I turn 30 May 15th and I am going to make the trip from Fargo to Devils Lake for some fishing on my birthday. I don't have a boat and was wondering what some good spots to cast from shore are. also, what can I expect to be biting in mid May at Devils Lake? thanks.
Channel A and Mauvais Coulee along old Hwy 81 are both good. Should be a good time of year where anglers will still catch a lot of fish from shore. Cast jigs and soft plastic paddle tails like the Sizmic Shad. The bridges and culverts are often really good because of the current but the fish will often be laying along the rip rap. Good luck and have a great birthday!
Thanks Jason, I appreciate the info.
also, for shore fishing, call ahead and reserve a spot because it will be full of non residents going over on their limits. chamber of commerce loves them.
The walleye caught at seven minutes into the video- was that on a Salmo bullhead, if so what color is that ?
-Looks like Rapala Yellow Perch color
Yes, Salmo Bullhead in Nordic Perch, a SCHEELS Exclusive color.
Great!- thanks for the reply
Nice
Ask when you say that you are running deep divers but with small amount of line out, does that make the diver run shallow?
Yes in many cases we are running them ten to fifteen feet behind a planer board and running the lure five feet down versus running a shallow running bait further behind the boat at the same depth.
Jason, what line are you using on your bait casters for walleyes?
A lot of ten pound Fireline
Were can I buy the SALMO bullhead SDR 1-6 ft Perch color?
SCHEELS has a good supply
Thanks
Jason how do you know how much line to run back from the planer?
We were only running 10-15 feet back on this episode with these particular deep divers. The Precision Trolling App is pretty useful as it has the dive curves for a lot of the lures. You can also guess in shallow water and get pretty close.
Looks like three different lures? Curious what they all were besides the bullhead
We were running through a handful of different colors of the Salmo Bullhead SDR. We were getting bit off by pike and unfortunately only had one of the Nordic Perch but that was the best color that day but I didn't have enough of them. We caught fish on Hot Perch, Pink Tiger, Nordic Perch and Purple Passion.
Thank you for the reply I'm kinda new to the trolling game and been going thru the precision trolling books/app. Any advise far as the books/app goes? On your show you just kinda reel em in. What makes you fish where you do vs knowing how deep your running your lures? Thanks.
And is 2mph ur typical trolling speed or do you switch it up?
We speed up and slowed down as we zig zagged but 2 mph was the norm.
the Precision Trolling App is a great starting point. Pick the location and than determine what lure you are going to use and how far back to run the lure. I like to start out a foot or so off the bottom and than work my way higher.
Might work from a canoe in the BWCA.......
Walleye are good I’m going to catch some and eat them today
Good luck!
great vid
Nice......
Which Bullhead 6 or 8?
We were using 6SDR
What depth?
four to six feet
have you ever fished rafferty in saskatchewan canada? its near estevan?
Many years ago, we fished Rafferty. Fun lake to fish, found a lot of fish shallow!
yea. we are having trouble finding them now! dont know whats going on
The depth of the water was four to six feet? Or the depth the lure dove was 4-6ft? Great vid
I own you 6 thumbs up
