Q&A: Bottom Bouncing Walleyes with Tony Roach

[@22steny]

Great Video! I have always been a Lindy guy but with weeds or rocks Bottom Bouncers have been key. On weight I normally go 1/2 oz to 1 oz up to 15ft. from 15ft feet to about 25ft i run 1oz to 2oz. All this depending on speed and line drag due to wind. Another trick i started using later in season was running Floating crank baits with bottom bouncers pulling them at 1 to 1.5 mph then almost jig like motion on rod.

Use reverse spin by releasing bail lock to lower bouncer to find the bottom. No my line than is necessary to maintain contact with the bottom . Use a heavier bouncer to keep it as close to boat as possible. Will increase hits 300 percent.

Try the Tomahawk blade in hammered gold. Lots of thump

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if the bottom bouncers are used for casting your bait as opposed to trolling or drifting?

Why is this not close captions ?

[@pb6936]

how do you fish a river with a BB . Do you face the current or go down with the current

[@daltonv5206]

Patrick Beaumier against. You'd have to go faster than the current to make the blade spin if you're going with the current

[@fishingwitheddie1535]
