ozaibak1 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hello all, I've been steadily improving my bass hunting and killing skills over the past 2 years, I'm pretty happy with where I am for now. However, I've been frustrated at my lack of walleye abilities. I would of thought I would of got a walleye strike by now even if I was just fishing for bass. I'm usually using some worm or tube, sometimes on a jig. My question is, is there a lure that can catch all 3 fish (bass, muskie (small size) , walleye)? I'm thinking of exclusively sticking to some sort of spinner baits this weekend in an attempt to land a walleye, or muskie if I'm lucky on top of numerous bass. Think this is a decent approach to try? Input would be very much appreciated, as well as any fishing knowledge about Pigeon Lake (I am in the north part, north of Big Island). Fishing report will follow the weekend trip, credit and respect will be given to anyone who helps me land a walleye or muskie Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay T Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Go with the spinner bait, it will catch any of the above. White is always a good one, so is black and purple, switch up colors and see what works best. As for where on the lake, I don't know that lake at all. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Devine Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Try tossing some "hair jigs" to weed edges. On a recent trip to the Kawartha's we did well in 6-14 FOW. We also caught bass and muskies on the jig too. Good colours were, blk/red, blk/chrt and blk/org. 1/4 or 5-16 oz jigs. Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfish Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I would try a finesse minnow drop shooting, around here the eyes wont touch white grubs or spinners just worms and finnesse minnows bass love em too musky maybe accidentally but u cant really count on a musky strike if fishing for bass most of the times it just kind of happens.

Roy Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 You might want to ask Clive (Mepps), POLITELY. if he could make you a few of HIS baits.....try that. Won't cost you more than store bought and you KNOW they'll be good baits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyman Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I'd agree with a spinner bait. I've caught three walleyes this year. Couldn't get them to hit on a crankbait??? Two were on a white spinnerbait and one was on a chug bug topwater. Go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I would second some kind of in-line spinner. As another option a 4" Berkley power grub. Another option - texas rigged plastic worm, right up to 7". Last two walleye I've seen caught on pigeon have come on a texas rigged worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 A black bucktail works well around here for all 3 species: green or orange belly. For walleye, it seems to help if you are in contact with the weeds pretty much all the time. Because I find them in the weeds, I don't use an inline very much.
