Trolling crankbaits at night for walleye (GIANT caught!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2022
- Fishing after dark can be a major pain in the tuchus, but it's usually worth the hassle! Grind all day for 1 or 2 bites…then it can feel like you’re on a whole-new lake after the sun goes down and walleyes show up out of nowhere.
We’ve been catching a ton of fish all spring trolling Rapala Original Floaters and Shallow Shad Raps at night. Something that gets a lot of love in the fall, but can be just as good-er this time of year.
Bonus points: You can catch walleyes all summer long doing this, I usually just switch up to shallow weed flats (instead of sand) and run the baits over the tops of the weeds.
Please drop a comment below and let me know what you think. 👊 Thx SO much for watching!

I use a bead one hundred percent of the time on my main line to prevent junk on my bait ✌️🎣🤙
Awesome catch on that big bruiser Walleye. Nice explanation of exactly what you were doing with the spinning tackle, the lures and the electronics. Very informative and enjoyable to watch 👍
I always appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, Bill! 👊 Take care man!
*Nighttime is the right time! Pumped you put that big bruiser in the net, buddy 💪*
Sorry for stepping on your pizza box and turning it into lasagna 😂🤷♂️ #nightfishingprobz
Bro zorbaz is gas!
Finally sitting down to watch and it was as good as advertised! What a brute! 👊
You the man, TJ 👊
Good job on the big fish... You'll definitely have border view as a place to stay when you go there!!😉
Thanks Patrick! That old-school crew neck might be my new favorite now haha 👊
Nice walleye this is what's on my mind...night trolling for walleye
Thank you! 👊 And absolutely!
Border view lodge is so nice. My ice fishing destination. Cheers!
Awesome place no doubt!
Adding the swivel to save your baits from the cotton is brilliant!
It definitely saved our night! Every once in a while - maybe every 45 min or so - I would cut the line just above the swivel, slide off the giant glob, and re-tie...then the whole system was back to clean versus trying to pick the junk off.
@@TargetWalleye Smart thinking. Less time messing around with your line means more time fishing.
I use a bead on my main line one hundred percent of the time 🎣🤙
Nice job! That’s a wall hanger! Was up in Minnesota today, my Mom had an appointment at Mayo. I spend my summers in NE Iowa, up from Texas now that schools out. I gotta catch some Walleye this summer!
Thank you. I hope you have a great summer and get some walleyes to hit the deck!
ZORBAZ! (The one on Gull is my fav!)
Slick spot! Especially when you arrive by boat smelling like fish 🤣
Triple Belly Sow Cow 🐮 awesome video men!
When are you coming to visit?
Hell Yes!
Awesome fishing video and info thanks
For sure, Ray! And thank YOU for watching. Good luck!
Ive been debating to wait to wait for more Elliot 7'3s and 6". Had the 7'3 2B sitting and debating, I think I might just get a couple of 2Bs after watching this lol. Good fishing, I just installed new led night lights to the boat to test this weekend, going to try pulling and casting at night.
I hear ya! That 7'3" ML Elliott is soooo nasty 🥵 for pitching jigs, Ned Rigs, etc. But those 2Bs are pretty great rods for $100 less. And man you can never have enough lights trying to fish at night!
Great vid! Don't know how many times we've been launching our boat as most are leaving the lake disgusted by the day bite. Whether bobber eyes or trolling it's a ton of fun.
Couldn't agree more! And that's usually me going in, saying to my buddy "If we were smart we'd be going out right now like those guys." 🤣👊 Thanks for watching!
I LOVE fishing at night for walters, do you guys have any preferences for moon phase when you go out at night?
#BINGO....Looks like a Big Windy Walter..👍
Definitely need to get back up that way!
@@TargetWalleye That would he awesome...Or I know some good spots on lake mb...Sand bar for miles...My family commerical fish on that lake...I know where the fish are..👍
Got to try this !
Fishing at night makes everything more difficult, but the walleyes are usually way more cooperative! Definitely worth the adventure.
I am in Detroit Lakes. Pickerel lake is a really good trolling lake. I am hunting 50+ musky on Detroit Lake about 15 hours a week. I subbed.
Just curious my in-laws live in baxter area. Do you do any guiding for walleyes? Just curious thanks and great video!!!
Have u tried lighted planer boards in shallow and keep boat in a lil deeper water ? And run 2 rods on shallow side ? Do you worry about spooking fish when shallow running over them in 7 fow? I guess that hasn’t been a problem ha. Thanks ! Great video!
Did you say, "Jalapeno-Peanut Butter pizza?!" That is a new one for me...
Hahahah yup! Sounds disgusting, but tastes amazing 🤣👊
excellent vid! that cotton crap in the water is so obnoxious.
Thanks Bob! And obnoxious is definitely a great way to describe it 🤣😤
Nice
The cotton looking stuff in your guides may be Didymosphenia geminata or Rock snot … we had it bad in st Mary’s river if it gets worse it’s a nightmare an forget about trolling it thrives in cold water and literally looks like wet cardboard everywhere along the shore on the rocks , hopefully it’s not .. thanks for the video and entertainment 👍
Nice video as always. What phone app were you using? That's very cool.
aaah - ran the video back and got it! thx
👊 That Humminbird FishSmart App is a little bit spendy, but soooooo much more detailed and spot-on. I just purchase the maps for the handful of lakes that I hit most often. Thx for watching!
Zorbaz and walleyes...Does it get any better?!?! Nice work
Can't complain! Thx Jason 👊
I love the “purpledescent” lettering in your thumbnail! Lol.
Hahaha thx man! She deserved it after sticking the biggest one! 👊
Well done!! Are you drifting or anchored? Thank for sharing.
Trolling at about 1.8 mph in 6-7’. We would stop and cast if we saw a bunch of fish schooled-up tighter, but with how spread out they were it was way easier to troll along.
How much did it weigh
Been killing big Walleye in Nebraska with big spinner baits.
You know you have to pick up a pizza every time from now on
Gotta keep my figure up somehow anyways 🤣🍀
Why did you stuff your hand in the gills??? Really!!
Why do lakes have to be named? There is lots of pressure on all of these lakes during the day or at night. Sweet fish and the cotton sucks.
Dang that Zoba's pizza is lip smacking goodness 😳
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry my “soup coolers” caused such a scene lol. Chewing with your mouth open - or talking with food in your mouth - is literally by biggest pet peeve, and now I’m just over here doing it on video hahaha. 🤦♂️
@@TargetWalleye well what makes you so great to watch fish is your enthusiasm and I'm glad it extends to pizza too!! Thanks
I've had drinks at Zorbas but never tried their pizza, I have the midnight munchies now!
@@wardcridland I'm all in LOL. Thanks much!
@@tomcervenka7404 I know it sounds weird/bad/strange...but their jalapeno and peanut butter pizza is incredible lol.
I never catch walleyes on gull
She is a fickle beast! Tons of great fish but they can be hard to get to go...worth it when they do tho!
Mouth smacker when eatting im gone...
I don't blame you!
Zorbaz 🤌
