He didn’t even mention a bobber stop, unless I missed it. Constantly changing it, while he motors around, not sure they did that…I don’t know even if they were using one. He would just say “drop em” when he motored over fish. Probably can still feel the bite though
@Johmersimpson3 жыл бұрын
@Jordan Drier he didn’t even mention bobber stops. Makes me believe he is not using them. More interested in the vertical presentation from the big slip bobber he uses, kinda like ice fishing. Can lift it a foot or two once u notice line stopped being taken. On his graphs, the fish are just off bottom or a foot or 2. His buddy nails them when he says to put their lines in/ he’s the one closest to the transducer

This gets the short shank jig and leech down to bottom & fish. Do you then reel up off the bottom and dangle in front of the walleyes?

It's solely up to you bud. Where he fishes a 30" is actually fairly common but were in a blessed land. A big one is 32"-35+ but a 28" can easily be over 10lbs even with no eggs. Replica mounts are a good option to keep the big egg trains producing.

Use a big musky bobber. All bobbers are equal once weighted properly. Musky bobber with heavy weights work anytime for any size fish. Casts farther. Stays where you put and is JUST as sensative as any pan fish bobber when neutral bouyant. Think about it. It's not rocket surgery.
