six trip skunkin
 

went to lh last night to see if i could catch some eyes no luck, used a lucky craft stick bait with rattles in it clown color and a 1/4oz fin s jig. i am still trying to figure these fang perch out, looks like i have alot to learn about catching them.i am not much of a bait fishermen unless i'm ice fishing. i will have to keep at it :confused:

Are you fishing on a boat or yak? If so, use deep diving jigs for the eyes.

i fish from shore and in my single seat canoe,i have used a bunch of different jigs from curly tail jigs to paddle tail jigs and fluke style jigs. i have gotten walleyes on bass spinnerbaits single colorado blade 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz.my biggest one i caught thru the ice at big swartswood lake jigging for perch with a jiggin rapala. it was a 8 pounder.

Nice going with those wally's also chuck some Rapala husky jerks at them they will attack those, also blue fox spinners do the trick just as good. Keep whacking & stacking 'em!

Dude! It sounds like your having a rough time getting what you want! Do a search on this site on Walleye fishing. Do a google search! Night techniques for Walleye! If all the research your doing doesn't pay off........... Get a set of Golf clubs and swing for the fences! Ya never know, maybe your a Golf guy and just don't know it! Arnold Palmer is AWESOME!!!!

hey fasteddie i would rather gouge my eyes out with a hot poker than spend any time on a perfect waste of real estate. golf is for old folks and wealthy people with to much time on there hands.not for icebadgers, i wont give up until i figure those fang perch out.tight lines bro.

Re: six trip skunkin
 

Well then! It sounds like your determined which I like! But skunked in 6 trips? Are you casting the damn lure in the water or onto the beach? Just curious!?!??

2 tips: fish with your ears and slooooow it down.

Re: six trip skunkin
 

Eddie what color underwear do you wear while fishing for these walleyes🤔 I think i got it figured out! Better yet i know u dont wear anything

Re: six trip skunkin
 

thanks jigman, i have been slowing it down to the point that i'm hitting bottom and getting weeds.husky jerks are fished on slow twitch retrieve,even tried the twitch twitch pause like fishin smallmouths in cold weather.maybe i'm just to much of a bass harasser to get this walleye thing.

Re: six trip skunkin
 

no worries badger,the best is yet to come.the pres caught them Thursday night were we have been fishing.they will be chasing herring hard very soon so make sure you have the top water stuff ready.

Re: six trip skunkin
 

this week has been very tough and slow as far as i have seen, so i wouldn't worry about it too much. just keep trying and it will pick back up.

Re: six trip skunkin
 

you should be NOWHERE near the bottom right now. If your stickbait dives more than 2ft below the surface your arent doing much. reel so slow you think your reeling too slow, and use your ears not your eyes. 4-5" stickbait that floats up high, rapalas are too high you have to grind down lip unless you fish an F18 and reel and pause it back to the top. Bigger is better theyre slurping 6" herring

thanks guys i'm greatful for all the advice,although i did not know that walleyes were like orcas and run up on a beach after my lure as if they were a seal :rolleyes:
