captpierre Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Saw a guy with scottys downrigging for walleye. Ever hear of that?
leaf4 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe they didn't feel like spending on some deep swim baits? Lol seems odd...
misfish Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 They do it on Erie, in not so deep waters.
Rizzo Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 sure. Gets you right to the depth you want...without having the guesswork of in-line weights! I was debating using dipsey divers for musky fishing when we were there a few weeks back but I never made it to the north end
fishindevil Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Yes I have downrigged many times for walleyes !!!! And in lakes other than the Great Lakes or quinte !!!!
i2cool2fool Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 I used walleye boards in July while at Stoney Lake and got interesting looks from the locals. ...and walleye.
Sterling Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 I downrig Nipissing on the regular now, works great.
Roy Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 You're right, Roger (Rizzo). A lot of folks think that down riggers are only used to fish deep. But pros use them to get their offerings to the proper depths no matter how shallow or deep they want to go.
