I just moved to the area and this is my first run. Every person i come across down here is just so polite and helpful. I have not gotten any limits so far but fishing has been good for me. the river is definitely a happy place for me

[@NWSlayers]

Awesome spring walleye action guys. You guys are killing it.

[@raymondwheeler4130]

Back when the limits were ten walleye my buddy Long hair took me up for my first trip in 1997 we limited out right where you are standing. We had to get a log to tie our stringers to so we could carry our fish out 😊

Nice walleyes

[@derekmcdevitt9491]

I grew up on the Maumee. Lived there for almost 30 years on Ford St. You ever make it up to Waterville for the eye’s?? Usually May is the best when the water is low.

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Went there a few times, but usually in fall not in May

[@medlensoutdoors]

Nice catches

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Well, it looks like you've been catching up with my fish score this year lol keep it up and I'll need to catch up LoL great video

[@glennybanez2472]

D day, coming to Maumee this sat 3/30/24. Do you have any recommendations to locations from you videos. First time ever to fishing the Maumee for walleyes.

[@321joebo]

Great content. C'mon Jeff. Quick question. looks like you are just using floating jigs without tails. Do you always do this? Or does it depend on clarity. You are obviously successful with it.

[@alexfamie5255]

It's the latest trend the last 2 or 3 years. Mabey longer, I don't know. But trust me when I say, it works. Tight lines!🎣

[@stuffymedia726]

It works and it saves you money

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Now that I got to try... LoL

[@ryanking3444]

From my experience it doesn’t matter what color or if u have a tail or not biggest thing is weight and leader length depending on how fast it’s moving

[@321joebo]

First try with this morning. 3 casts in I hooked up with a 27 3/4 incher just missing Fish Ohio fish. I BELIEVE.

[@avasophia1442]

its time to fishing bro

[@michaelwing5181]

Great video D, been waiting for one. Looks like you are just using a bare leadhead jig. Did you say 3/8 oz. ? I noticed the bare jig in previous video, i never tried that way.

[@michaelwing5181]

Maybe im not seeing it clearly, would e nice part of video to get a look at your rig for the day.

[@michaelwing5181]

I got a better look on the first fish, Lol. 3/8 th. ? Jig head size dia. . I assume not the weight of the sinker. Idk, i fish the bay.

[@michaelwing5181]

Haha, ok saw the correction on the weight to 3/4

[@stuffymedia726]

@@michaelwing5181 the jig head is a floating Jig head attached to a 5-6ft leader line attached to a trolling sinker you never want to use a lead jig head on the moemee

[@michaelwing5181]

Thx, yeah i have left a handful of floater jig n tails on a 4ft. lead behind a 1/2 oz. trolling weight on the river bottom a week or two ago. I just assumed wrong how D was rigged.

[@BJia2013]

Derek, thanks for sharing. Read your old article - 願者上鈎】茂密窝赖爆钓秘籍, and I am going to visit Maumee this Saturday first time 🤔. One quick and stupid question - given the snag situation, why most float jig heads have their hooks facing down, not up? I found one brand - VMC Hover Jig Glow Kit on Amazon and bought some. Not sure if they would work

[@CloudFT]

How many ib do you use for your main line and leader?

[@baylormustaine983]

What size reel do you use?

[@joearnett9884]

Where are you fishing at on the river

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]
