Drop that Lindy rig down near structure on the BIG D. Once you feel it hit bottom just pull upstream to about 2 o'clock, the current will give the lure/bait extra action. Reel in a little bit of line after a couple of pulls to cover ground quickly and efficiently. Drifting and Jigging IS the most effective method for finding Walleye. Just make sure you can feel and control your jig at all times. What else is really effective? Slip bobbers are awesome if you know how to use them in the spring to find those Eyes when there in 10-15 feet of water. Theres so many ways to catch Eyes but night time is thee right time just about all year long. Mid day action can also be great in february and march. I don't know if your going to get anything out of this post but I hope you do. If you have any questions feel free to PM me anytime.  |
Kind of off topic, but while we're talking about Walleye; Eddie, how well do you usually do at night in the colder months? Do they usually stay deep post-turnover after dark?
That lindy rig setup sounds sexy in some slow current.
