misfish Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 how shallow are we talking? 6-12ft, shallower early mornings/evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited April 28, 2016 by Dara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 sounds like they are in the same place the pike are hanging out was seeing piles of them in the shallows two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecmilley Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
