Swimbait walleye breakdown (post-spawn thru early-summer)

[@bobosterday3350]

I love trolling Swimbaits. 3/4 ounce head with 4” Swimbaits at .8 to 1.2 miles per hour! Hold on baby cause the crush it!

[@garyelderman1229]

On boards too?

[@bobosterday3350]

@@garyelderman1229 I haven’t tried it on boards. I usually cast it off the back of the boat 50-75 ft. Speed control is the key because I want to feel it bounce off the bottom. I’ll go as fast as I can and pump the rod as long as I feel the bottom. If I see suspended fish I’ll speed up to get the swimbait up off the bottom. They just hammer it!

[@bobosterday3350]

@@garyelderman1229 I will go up to a 1 ounce head if I have to!

[@garyelderman1229]

@@bobosterday3350 OK so the point is to bottom bang. I'm on the Canadian side of Erie and would love to get them in other ways. Thanks for the reply.

You're one of my favorite YT channels for walleye! Thx man. Good stuff.

[@dougmurphy9554]

Informative, and what a likeable guy.

[@TargetWalleye]

Thank you so much!

[@Jnf458]

Thank you . Was looking for tips for upcoming Canada trip.

[@brett_Thorpe]

Great video with lots of awesome info….Thanks

[@francisbombardier6490]

Really informative video thanks . Thumb. Keep em coming

[@StuHenuset]

Great tips Brett. A more flexible tail will also help create more vibration when fishing dirty or stained water like we have up here in MB, help the Eyes locate the bait. You should come up and fish one of the Walleye Mafia Fish Donkey tournaments on Lake of the Prairies some summer. Come for the Aug or Sept long weekend tourneys and wear out your arm snap jigging for some prairie gold tanks! They bite all day long too!

[@TargetWalleye]

Thanks man! No doubt. I would love to get back up there in the boat! And it would be super fun to jump in a derby somewhere too for the heck of it. That's a magical area. I always dream about how nice it would be to make walleye content in places where you catch a bunch even on tough days of fishing hahah. 👊

[@jefffirm6577]

I like Big Joshy swim baits they shine in cold water awesome for smallies to

[@roosterdope6778]

That electric chicken color works wonders

Dude love your videos. What app are you using to scan the lakes

[@TargetWalleye]

Thank you! That's the "One-Boat Network" app to be able to get the newest LakeMaster maps right on my phone 👊

[@jpmorso3798]

What app are u looking at showing all that info of the lake??? On your phone or is it hooked up to your graphs somehow????

Nice

[@sanderlander]

Any chance you've tried the amped outdoors battery monitor? 👍👎 just been curious about it.

[@TargetWalleye]

I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but have heard good things. I was thinking about ordering one just because I'm curious about how much juice I'm using (or not using haha) on trips out. But for now I plug those bad boys in when I get home and the charging lights are green before I even get my stuff put away. Wild. If I order one I'll try to share some feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@huntingicon]

Do you crimp the barb on your hooks?

[@TargetWalleye]

We don't have to in Minnesota. But funny enough I have accidentally used baits in my box that had pinched barbs from when fishing up in Manitoba...and never lost any fish because of it. Couldn't believe it lol.

[@tomweaver4908]

Do you ever tie a small swivel from braid to fluorocarbon leader or what kind of knot?

[@YourBuoyOutdoors]

wondering the same thing. I keep getting line twists when casting swimbaits

[@donaldamys6391]

Alberto Knot

[@seanyB223]

​@@YourBuoyOutdoors double uni if your just learning connection knots for braid to fluorocarbon/monofilament

[@seanyB223]

​@@YourBuoyOutdoors there is honestly like 15 you could try an tire. But IMO, nothing beats the ease of tying an strength of the double uni

[@stevesnag9814]

i use swivel and leader on all fishing for 40 years,simplest and easy.main line to swivel,24" to 36" leader,regular mono from 12# to 30#,no defrent in bite,at the end quick snap for easy changing jigs or lures.

[@DirtyJobsGuy1]

K is “snarly” a word?

[@TargetWalleye]

Probably not, but it made sense in my head for picturing it hahaha

[@sargentt6003]

Super glue STILL holds and doesn't trash a bait like screw lock heads. No time to play braid games. Mono is decades old effective. They need you to BUY,BUY,BUY.

[@iMadyyy]

Those are shads, not swimbaits. good video tho

[@jaredacosta2834]

So much damn talking not enough fishing.
