Are you ready for them pickeral ?

[misfish]

Anyone can catch a walleye,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Sunday will be here soon enough and I figured better get me some harness,s tied up. Seems from my intel, I dont have the fav colours for the waters we will be fishing, so I guess this will do, but I will be making a stop after work to get some colours that are to be needed.

 

Tying these are fun and easy.

 

 

One of them ,I used the blades from a broken spinner bait. Hey, waste not want not. Recycle.LOL

Looks good brian!

 

Ive already tied a summers worth this winter.

 

All mine a single colorado blades

 

Some I paint myself with nailpolish lol.

[Joeytier]

Still nearly a month away from opener here, and with this late spring (yet again) things will be off to a slow start so I think I'll stick with squaretails until mid-June, then shift gears

 

I like the gold colorado blade harness, would make a great clear water/cold front presentation, if you send me some I will give you some great promotional shots

17 days to go, and then other than the odd trout excursion, its pretty much all I will fish until the bows run again. Mind you, I catch plenty of pike, bass and muskie while targeting pics, but they are just window dressing. Have fun!

Your harnesses look great! Try some perch colored harnesses. They work very well on Erie.

14 is special here...May 15 opener, 10 inland is May 21

[AKRISONER]

anyone care to give a brother some tips? I still havent solved the spring walleye bite in 14...been fishing it a long time and spent a lot of time getting skunked.

 

Depths, structure? anything ?

 

I can usually catch them come may 24, but the opener has always been a mystery for me.

shallow warm water pulling small cranks like flicker minnows on planer boards is what works here

 

try to find murky water

Been seeing good reports for a few weeks now shorefishing the Upper Niagara, open all year and home to the Canadian and former world record .

how shallow are we talking?

[BillM]

 

how shallow are we talking?

 

6-12ft, shallower early mornings/evenings.

[Dara]

 

how shallow are we talking?

even 3 or 4 feet

they like the shallow bays that warm up quick

 

if the water is 45-48F and you find a 50-55 degree spot, work it...run fast enough to make the bait work proper.

small baits because minnows are still small this time of year

 

and all day long, thats why you need boards

 

big flat shallow bays

 

it may be a bit different here because we are in 14 but its kinda like inland lakes rather than great lakes up the St Marys

[AKRISONER]

sounds like they are in the same place the pike are hanging out

 

was seeing piles of them in the shallows two weeks ago.

[manitoubass2]

Trolling cranks in 4-6 fow on mudflats is a blast!

[ecmilley]

Last year opener in div17. Was slow in usual spots only hit 3 4 fish all morning. On a hunch starting working inside weed edge in 3 ft of water in middle of day was hammer time.

Watching. Big eyes chase your Bucktail and inhale it is awesome

I haven't found a snell knot I like yet. Some of the recommended snell knots will fail given enough time. Any recommendations? Does the nail knot tool help with a good snell?

[esoxansteel]

Very nice nothin like tackle tinkering
