Jigging Tips for Columbia River Walleye

[@evannickell2074]

Love the videos man. I’ve learned a bunch from watching. Bought a Spilt Milt sweatshirt I’ll be rocking out on the river. Caught my first steelhead couple weeks ago and now I can’t get enough. Keep up the good work brother.

My uncle is the reason i love UL fishing. He's a huge walleye guy, hoping to take my family to his neck of the woods this summer. Havent done walleye fishing for 15 years, way over due

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Tyler and your Family!

Great Video, as always. I have a hole figured, but the wind is almost always a factor in my spot. One thing I think I've noticed, the Walleye don't seem to want anything on the hook besides a crawler. They don't want a smile blade, colorado blade or plastics. They seem to want just a worm. My uncle once said (South Dakota) of the gear in my tackle box, "All that stuff just get your minnow down to where the fish are." Starting to think he wasn't wrong.

Enjoyed the video, you caught some nice fish. I enjoy eating those walleye. I need to make a trip over pass to chase some of those fish. Tight lines!

[@scottulbrich5376]

i was at Billy Chinook one time and some dude came crowding and parked right where i had been casting, some people, I just dont what they are thinking, i kept casting right up against his boat untill he moved

Have you tried Lake Roosevelt fall/winter walleye? Thanks for the enjoyable and informative videos, and all the work that goes into making them.

[@spiltmilt]

I've not. Mostly summer. I'd like to give it a go in the next few weeks and combine it with a burbot chase.

[@smthcrmnal26]

Nice, trying to get your videos back on my feed. Gonna try late fall for a some fishing.

[@spiltmilt]

If you hit the bell button 100% of them will show up

That fourth fish was beautiful! Nice to see some more walleye content! Have you ever tried using bait and scents vs plain bait? Do you think using scent could extend the use of the worm after it gets soft, instead of switching worms.

[@spiltmilt]

I've tried scents and don't see much change in the bite. I've done extensive scent testing especially with hard baits and surprisingly the unscented hard baits tend to catch more as well.

[@graffyte6279]

I really enjoy your content. I learn so much. I wonder if there is walleye downstream of bonneville dam?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes there are.

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@CrossroadspreparednessEric]

Where on the Columbia River was this filmed? It looks like your closer to tri-cities area

[@Dru-sluggo]

Any areas on the Columbia in North Central WA you would suggest for walleye beginner here

[@spiltmilt]

Banks Lake & Rufus Woods are best bets

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Based on your link for the jig... Are you using a 3/4 oz jig?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes

[@pacificnorthwestoutdoors8510]

If you don’t mind me asking is that Dalles or John day or higher?

[@spiltmilt]

Higher

[@thosteen8800]

What knot do you use to tie your leader to the braid?

[@spiltmilt]

Uni to uni

[@thosteen8800]

@ Thanks and love your channel!

[@travistowns9204]

Is the Banks Lake your fishing?

[@spiltmilt]

Read the title

[@fishmojo865]

Stinger hook?

[@spiltmilt]

I use them a lot with plastics. With bait they usually aren't necessary.

[@benj3911]

What depth are you fishing at?

[@spiltmilt]

80-110'

[@benj3911]

@@spiltmilt oh boy. I thought they go shallow in the winter.

[@spiltmilt]

No they go deeper. They come shallow for the spawn in March-April and will hang out there for a bit post-spawn.
