Bobber Sniping Walleyes with Garmin Livescope (Mille Lacs 2021)

Using Garmin Livescope has become my favorite tool for not only finding fish, but seeing how they react to certain baits. We made a quick run up to Mille Lacs to hunt down some Walleyes by putting leeches on a bobber, and although the fish were still a little finicky, we were able to have a 30 fish day, with the biggest being 28 inches.

Great livescope coverage! Nice to see different ways and techniques to maximize the livescope advantage

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Thanks, just filmed a jigging suspended fish one this week, will have it out in a few weeks, it was crazy!

[@After5Outdoors]

That livescope apparently is a tool I need to add to my arsenal. I'd say days of being skunked would be numbered. As usual a really well put together production sir

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Yes, at this point you just keep moving until you find fish, and then it's figuring out what they want to eat!

[@KayakFishingWithMark]

Sweet setup my friend. Walleyes are definitely in my bucket list and you make it look really ez giving me that hint of encouragement. Lol. Nice work!

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Thanks, the lake we were at definitely helps. Its loaded with them!

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

Nice video and nice walleyes thanks for sharing

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Thanks, just getting started for the year!

[@LarrysFishing]

Very cool, great job!

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Thanks, super fun watching them come up and pound it!

I've used livescope since it came out for crappie in the south. My uncle lives in southern MN and we take a canadian trip every year. Last year we ended up in northern MN on a lake we had never seen. I had no trouble locating fish with Si/Di but the bite was tough. We finally put the jigs away and rigged up the bobbers and caught several fish on them. The entire time I was missing my LS. We caught 15 or so over 20 inches but I'm sure we could have tripled that with the LS. Since canada looks like a wash again this year you can bet the LS will be taking a trip to northern MN this August :-)

[@NetBuddyFishing]

It really is incredible. I have fished side by side with friends who didn't have it(they do now) and we decided its somewhere in the 5-8x the number of fish caught. The biggest factor is being able to stay off the school and they don't spook as bad. I am guessing you see that with the Crappies. Good luck in August, We usually go to Canada that time of year too and are exploring alternatives in N. MN right now.

Do you have the livesco transducer on the trolling motor?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Yes, I can fish and find fish faster with it there, as well as be ready to cast at all times. I would not personally recommend fishing it any other way.

[@Thecross9890]

Wow I’m jealous. That garmin livescope looks like a lot of fun. Do you have to cruise around and use regular sonar first to know fish are in the area? Or are you fishing like a big flat that you know will have lots of pockets of fish?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

I use side imaging and cruising around with Livescope to find them. I just filmed a side imaging video this week which shows how I look for fish, and will post in a few weeks.

[@Thecross9890]

@@NetBuddyFishing awesome. I look forward to watching that!

[@NetBuddyFishing]

@@Thecross9890 it’s posted, take a look, also did a jigging one with Livescope for big ones I think you’ll enjoy.

[@wadewinch4372]

What kind of mount do u run off electric for livescope?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

I run it on the trolling motor, just the barrel mount that comes with it.

[@bdbdwd]

What head unit are you running ?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

I have the GPSMAPs

[@lundmerc7525]

Where are you guys from?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Based in MN, fish wherever the fish are biting!

[@ol2533]

How come slip bobbering Instead of sticking with jigging or a drop shot rig with bait? I've never tired slip bobbering for walleyes

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Another tool in the box. Their eyes are on top of their head, so presenting a bait above them can be the ticket some days, especially as we move into June and fish start to suspend even higher.

[@ol2533]

@@NetBuddyFishing ah interesting. Never tried bobbering for eyes. What's your top few methods to target walleyes?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

@@ol2533 for sure Jigging is my favorite, but I’ve probably had some of my best days using bobbers. Check back in about 3 weeks I think we’ll have a video you’ll enjoy as long as the fish co-operate on all the ways we go after them.

[@ol2533]

@@NetBuddyFishing sounds good. I will check back for that video! Have you ever tried the drop shot rig with bait for them walleyes?

Great video but could do without the annoying canned soundtrack
