msp Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Got out last week with family to Nanas and Papas house. A few hours of fishing each morning with my old man and perching off the dock with the kids kept everybody happy. Papa bought a new boat that needed to be tested out on the walleye grounds. The bite was pretty good. I prefer to fish weed walleye and I caught them the way I like to catch em. ( jerk baits,bucktails and grubs in the weeds ) Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Radnine Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Great report and wonderful to see the kids with smiles on their faces. How do you fish cranks through the weeds? I know that buck tails and grubs/jig heads rip through alright, but how do multi-hooked cranks do? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msp Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Great report and wonderful to see the kids with smiles on their faces. How do you fish cranks through the weeds? I know that buck tails and grubs/jig heads rip through alright, but how do multi-hooked cranks do? Thanks, Jim My favorite lure is a jerkbait because it seems to so versitile and it catches everything. However, it can be pretty tough in the thick weeds. I will throw jerkbaits along the edges and around sparse weeds. I always use braided line to help rip the bait out of the weeds. I also find that a jerkbait like a husky jerk or a rogue performs better in the weeds as opposed to a slashbait like the X-rap because it has less of a side to side action. It can be frustrating at times but the rewards can be great. Thanks for all the kind words guys.
