mike rousseau Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 So for the first time this year i manage to get myself and 2 buddies in the boat to go for a big numbers day of summer walleyes... The plan was troll... Troll ... Troll... As usual... We were rigged with deep diving minnow baits as well as worm harnesses on 3 way rigs tipped with gulp... We headed out just after noon... Lines in around 1pm... Or what magazines would say isn't a good time to fish... Well... Not the case... We had a 12 fish limit of nice walleye in 2.5 hours... From 100-330pm... And no... We weren't deep... All fish were in 12-20 feet of crystal clear water... The walleye were biting so well that at one point we had a double header on the harnesses and I had to put my rod in the holder and stop the boat to net the 2 fish... I got the 2 walleye in the net at the same time... Sit down... Lift my rod outta the holder... Fish on... Lol... It picked it up off the bottom while I was netting the other fish.... After that We headed to a local marina/restaurant for some burgers to fuel us up for the long trip I had planned... We bounced around after that picking up one here and one there... Got one on a new spot...that is always great... Then just as it gets dark (not kinda dark... I'm talking black....) I decided to try a spot... I haven't got a single walleye there all year... But my gut told me to try it... We pulled 10 walleye outta this spot in about 1-1.5 hours.... All fish were 3+ lbs and 2 were 27" And 7-8lbs...We were just at the right place at the right time.... We finished the night with 28 walleye boated and a handful of smallies... One around 4lbs... Dropped about 10 fish easily... Well... One of us did.... Lol We were giggling like little kids all night... Lol... I'm just glad I was with great friends when I hit this awesome day.... Here's a few highlights...
lew Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Outstanding MIke, always good when a plan comes together.
Joeytier Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Great stuff. Maybe ill be adventurous enough to try the gulp on the harnesses someday.
mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Posted September 1, 2013 Great stuff. Maybe ill be adventurous enough to try the gulp on the harnesses someday. Trust me.... They work great... Especially anywhere there's gobies.... They destroy worms... But not the gulp
wormdunker Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Wow! Nice wallys! Congratulations

kickingfrog Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Great day! Trust me.... They work great...Especially anywhere there's gobies.... They destroy worms... But not the gulp Gulp here for this guy too, or other scented plastics. More efficient, cheaper, cleaner and just as effective.
Joeytier Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 I use gulp minnows religiously, they work fantastic on walleyes, and even i can say theres still definitely a time and place where minnows/leeches cannot be beat. I also dont have gobies/sunfish/any other panfish to contend with.
