- Made a trip to lake Erie and jigged the reefs in the western basin for Walleye. Used Venom Lures High Dollar jigs (hair jigs) and Vibramax blade baits to get our strikes.
Venom Lures High Dollar Jig (Best was 3/4 oz - all colors worked)
Venom Lures Vibramax blade bait (Firetiger)
7ft medium action spinning rod & spinning reel
20lb Venom Braid with 6ft of 8lb fluorocarbon leader
GoPro Hero 8 Black
DJI Phantom Pro 3
Proline 17ft Prolite
Suzuki 100 (4 stroke)
Makes me want to put my bib overalls on drink some moonshine and go walleye fishing! Yee haw
My kinda fisherman! Busch light and rolling rock flying! Lol. Great vid
Best music yet!
Wish my Fury 16 Tiller would work there...
I'm sure it would on a calm day!
Thanks for posting this video!
Thanks for the tips and sharing!
Nice work man!
That’s a fun bite
Yessir, it's a blast! Getting ready to go back out here in the next week or so!
Got a limit there Friday and Saturday every fish came on the purple and yellow venom
Video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm literally planning the same trip from the same launch point. Wanting to do something different than my local Indian Lake, but never jigged western basin reefs with our small boat. This gave me the confidence to pull it off. Did u end up using the 3/4 or 1 oz. More? Saugeye bite has been hit and miss at indian but some days we catch some big ole gals. Jigging and trolling #5 flicker. Stay safe and fish rich 👍the empty Busch light was a nice touch 👍
@Ted Bear79 - I definitely recommend this trip, especially if the wave reports were similar to what we had at 1ft or less. Even 1-2ft would have been ok. 3/4oz worked the best for us with the low winds and if we didn't get any bites after 30min, we moved. Find the groups of boats hovering over the reefs and start at the wind source side and drift across. Pound the bottom with those jigs. Jig bite will probably only last another 2-4 weeks before they switch to worm harnesses. Get to the ramp by sun up and you'll get a parking spot. Much later than that and it will be tough. Good luck brother and drink a Busch Latte! 😁
@@FishinTooling thanks for the tips!!
Looks like you tried some night crawler on there - I was out there April 1-3 and tried some minnows but it didn't help - purple worked best - We hit the afternoon bite 1st and 2nd. I did get 3 on the blade bait on the 3rd - same color as yours - the water was a little muddier on the 3rd so I think that is why the blade bait rustled some up!
I didn't know you could use more than a single hook with a 1/2" inch shank to point in April. Is that just a Maumee Bay, Maumee River law?
@@tommyschlegel5653 no restrictions for that on Erie. Been using stinger hooks for many many years.
So ate you using a purple hair jig with a minnow?
Just the purple hair jig with a stinger hook. No minnow.
I'd be trolling over jigging any day. Was out there last week of March did really good trolling. Probably caught 70-80 between two of us one day.
I know you can pull in fish trolling but I live to feel that bite and hook set!
Trolling is catching,jigging is having to fish. I enjoy both btw.
@@FishinTooling I live to catch them 12-13 plus pounder.
Jesse Teick , don’t believe you one bit. Please explain this 80 walleye day. With details
Pretty sure the limit is 6 per day
