March 18, '24: Fox River Walleye Bite Kicked In Gear!

- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- To say the fishing on the Fox has been slow this year would be an understatement. Activity (or lack there of) at the boat launches says it all. Crazy to think you can count the number of boats, within sight, on one hand at any given time. Monday and Tuesday had the females starting to bite. Nothing huge, but action that brought the Fox back to years gone by. 😊 #walleye #walleyefishing #foxriverwalleye #walleyes #targetwalleye #walleyecentral #foxriver #depere #deperewalleye

I need some ideas with what to use and color for walleye on the fox only caught 5 in 3 days
I may have a bit of overkill on the number of rods rigged up (don't tell my wife.🤣). I'm a musky fisherman trying to be a walleye fisherman so I will switch rods/lures every 5 casts or so until something works. Also, experiment with the retrieves with each lure. I have a couple rods rigged with #6 Rippin' Raps. Firetiger (chrome), and Black/Purple/Pink. Have found the most productive retrieve to be short hops close to the bottom. A couple rods rigged with Blades. The 1/4 oz purple Acme V-Rod has been on fire. Use the 1st hole closest to the front of the lure. It tends to give wobble with the least amount of pull. Try going totally finesse with it. What I mean by that is after it hits bottom, give the slightest of rod tip raises or even 1/2 to 1 reel revolution with no rod tip raise. Just enough to stay close to the bottom and still give it action. Try with any style of blade bait. I just found the V-Rod to work best for me. I have three rods rigged with plastics. 1/4 oz jigs with various head types (no current allows for lighter weight). Tickle Worm in Arkansas Shad, B-Fishn Purple/Chartreuse tail. Firecracker. Chartreuse. I'll mix a paddle tail in as well. If the fishing is brutally tough, which it has been. I have a rod rigged with a Dubuque setup. I'll use this to work upstream at about .3 mph keeping contact with the bottom as I work through fish I have been marking. I have a couple rods rigged with hair jigs. One w/ purple, black. The other with some gold/brown (gobi). Just crawling on the bottom. lastly, a couple with #10 Down Deep Husky Jerks. Orange/Purple, UV Firetiger, Chrome Black, Chrome Purple all produce. Probably more than you wanted in addition to the color question. Apologize if it's TMI. Just thought color is one thing, presentation has been another part of the equation. All my rods are medium light fast to medium fast. 20lb Suffix 832 with 12lb Fluorocarbon leader (some would say this is overkill but it doesn't seem to impact the bite and is nice for getting back a snagged lure. Sorry about that Ed The Diver on UA-cam 🤣). Hope this helps. Let me know if any of it works for you.
