Bobber Sniping Walleyes with Garmin Livescope (Mille Lacs 2021)

[@dustanfuerst8265]

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!

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

Nice video and nice walleyes thanks for sharing

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Thanks, just getting started for the year!

[@FishNTrips1]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@joshuaike6988]

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.

[@bdbdwd]

What head unit are you running ?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

I have the GPSMAPs

[@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.

[@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?

[@NetBuddyFishing]

Great video but could do without the annoying canned soundtrack
