Wow thanks everyone for their responses!

Hi Everyone

What type of line should I buy to fish walleye? There are so many different types to choose from.

Cheers!

Thx everyone for the help

The "best" color changes throughout the year... And varies from spot to spot.... As well as day to day.... Morning and night... Sunny and cloudy... Warm and cold...Etc...

 

Some may say this isn't helpful information... But it is... Never be afraid to experiment with colors... Especially when your ON fish... That way you know active fish are seeing this new color...

 

My box has a LOT of different lures in a LOT of different colors... But generally I only use a few different lures in a few different colors...

 

As far as lures... Depth is key... Where you will be fishing mostly.... You'll be targetting 15-30 feet of water.... So you'll want crankbaits that dive at 15-20-25-30 feet for different spots... Lures that will dive 20 feet or so will be 90% of your arsenal... Stick with brand names like Rapala... Cotton Cordell... Reef runner... Manns... Yo zuri... They all work...

 

Also mentioned are worm harnesses.... These are a bit tougher to troll... But I'll show you to do it right when we get out....

 

And to start... Keep colors simple....

 

Black/gold

Black/silver

Blue/silver

Perch

Fire tiger

 

Again I'll show you some of my favorites when we go out...

 

Hope this helps

Thx Mike

Ty everyone. It's much appreciated!

Hi guys

Newb question here. Can anyone please tell me what type and color of lures are good for walleye trolling?

Thanks!

Welcome! Where do you fish?

Mostly St. Lawrence river

Welcome Steve.

 

If you really want to step in here, tells us whether your boat is a tiller or a console.

It's a console

Welcome Steve. All I can say is don't spread the word about being a Sens fan ok? Stick to fishing and the great outdoors and you'll do well.

Ouch!!!! Who old you I was a sen fan!

Take a look at a Garmin 60c or 76c. they should fall in your budget. As for the mapping, it is another expense but can be obtained from other sources if you understand what I mean.

Hello everyone

I am new to this site so I'd like to tell you all a bit about me. I love to fish but still have a lot to learn. I have bought a 16 foot Tracker with a 40 mercury, trolling motor and other accessories. I love to fish for all large game fish. I look forward to reading different posts and will most likely ask questions as I continue to learn.

Respectfully

Steve

That's not quite the case. Some are directed towards pilots, geo-cachers, marine, automotive.

Marine units tend to float and are water resistant.

 

Garmin is probably your best bet for map detail but you'll have to purchase the map software separately. Your budget will dictate what unit you purchase. Lot's of choice.

Tyvm for the reply and your help!

Just gps? Or gps sonar combo?

 

What's your budget?

Like 400 bucks

Hi guys

Any suggestions on a good marine GPS? Just looking for something effective at a reasonable cost.

Thx
