HOW TO rig minnows on the bottom for Walleye, Saugeye and Perch (simple technique)

I would like to show everyone a basic bottom fishing technique that can produce at Lake Logan. It basically is a carolina rig but I modify it with a split shot to stop the egg sinker to get extra distance from the shore. Enjoy the action and maybe even try it for yourself! Lake Logan Ohio can be a nice fishing spot if you can locate the fish! This strategy also helps keep your minnow off the bottom of the lake. This will make your bait standout and be seen by walleye, perch and saugeye

great video my friend. love to use them floating jigs on rocky bottoms. but good choice on the switch of hooks. great video. u gained a sub from us.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Yea when I realize yellow perch are there. I immediately switched gears and went into smaller gear..Thanks for the sub

Once again, I learned something. Thanx for the floating jig head tip.

Wow. He caught a whole 2 fish! That's awesome! Les ghoooo!

[@ColtonWilson3000]

I always used marshmallows to float stuff off the bottom back in the day. Floating jig heads are definitely better. 😂

[@thecreekcrawler]

I love me some floating jighead!! I’m sure the fish didn’t mind the marshmallows lol

[@ColtonWilson3000]

I live 5 mins from Lake logan. Love fishing for crappie! I'd love to hook up and do some fishing with you some time.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I highly recommend fishing on structure piles during the summer. early spring crappie are right off the bank during the spawn.

Looking good sailor keep at it

[@thecreekcrawler]

When are we going fishing? next time your down around the area lets go to Lake Hope and get some Bowfin action!

[@jeffmosier3145]

If this is Lake Logan in Logan , Ohio , in the Spring don your chest waders. Go to the beach and wade out so you can cast where the Saugies are. Jig and minnow or half crawler.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Unfortunately they don't allow us to fish the beach anymore...

[@fishefofdeth]

I'll have to try this out, I just moved to Logan and pass the lake every day

[@thecreekcrawler]

It’s a really good crappie lake and sometimes get into some saugeye

[@thecreekcrawler]

Hey I have caught some nice fish from lake Logan! It has nice crappie fishing in the spring. Saugeye fishing is tough but the ones you get are big! Channel catfish are excellent as well during the late spring when they are spawning on the dam side of the lake

[@fishefofdeth]

Thanks everyone I will keep this in mind

[@WeekendWarrioroutdoors16]

What size floating jig head and brand and size sinker and split shot

[@thecreekcrawler]

these were the little floating jigs you could get at Walmart. I used a little split shot and a 1/4 egg sinker

Hey I'm still working on finding places to fish. I was wondering if you would want to get together and fish lake Logan. I've never been there.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Logan has a few good spots from shore. Depends on what your after. Crappie will be up shallow soon. Perch are shallow now spawning. The handicap access point on the middle of the lake is great as well. It’s near 9-12 feet of water

[@chucklasher6061]

@@thecreekcrawler I'm getting my kayak next month and plan on hitting a few nice spots including Logan. I've caught some really nice smallmouth in the Licking River and I'll definitely be taking a kayak trip there as well.

[@thecreekcrawler]

@@chucklasher6061 Logan is a good lake and the Licking River has been suggested more than a handful of times!!! I hope to get there this year
