How to Long-Line Walleyes with Jerkbaits

[@Tbowie13]

You're spot on saying they're nosing the bait. I've had them in clear water follow close enough when Im fishing the bank on bluff walls where you can watch them eat. Theyll follow all the way to the bluff wall, in essence pinning the bait to the wall. Their gills flaring and fins moving, like a cat with a mouse waiting for that single twitch that sets them off. That is somuch fun to see!

Those are some killer walleyes. Definitely gonna need to expand my jerkbait arsenal.

Right on Mighty Turtle. Lot's of great baits from a range of manufacturers these days. Can't deny the beauty and action of the 110+2 in clear water though.

The shore line looked like it's fall. Wonder when this technique would work best

Was just fishing with a Smithwick Rogue last week and got bit by a 22 inch Walleye. My biggest so far this year!

[@Wired2Fish]

Congrats, solid fish. What state are you from?

[@thegrouchyfish]

@@Wired2Fish I'm from Ontario, Canada

[@joeduca8582]

That was awesome, thanks!

[@Wired2Fish]

Glad you liked it Joe, a little nitchy but always fun figuring new ways to get a fishy to bite an artificial lure.

[@Bestroper14]

Awesome

[@mikepuusa6084]

Catching them on jerkbaits is the best way to get them. They hit so hard

[@Wired2Fish]

One of the coolest walleye bites we had all year!

[@dieterdeblauwe7871]

Coolest thing ever 🥴

[@brockkoehnen7478]

It’s a hell of a lot easer with panoptics

[@Wired2Fish]

Good, bad or otherwise, we wouldn't never stumbled on this unique bite if it wasn't for Panoptix/LiveScope technology.

shhhhhhhh, why you telling everyone.... most walleye guys look at me weird when I tell them to use a jerk bait and tell me to stick to bass fishing. I've been liking it however and keeping it a secret when guys roll up and ask what I'm using. Now the gigs up and secrets out... lol not really a secret... most walleye guys are just stubborn to use something out of the norm to catch walleye.
