Trolling Crankbaits for Lake Erie Walleye - Tips And Tricks To Get Your Limit

Here are some tips for trolling crankbaits for walleye in Lake Erie. These techniques allowed me to get my limit of walleye in about a half an hour near Kelley's Island in Lake Erie.
Crankbaits for walleye are one of the most versatile lures you can have in your tackle box. Walleye crankbaits look like smaller bait fish that the walleye will normally feed on. I'm using Reef Runner's new 44Mag on a bunch of my lines when I could keep them in the water. It was a great and exciting day of walleye fishing.
We also had an appearance by phone from Country Steve.

Learned a lot -thanks

[@FishGuyJer]

I got those 44 mags and love em. I airbrush them to my liking but the action and depth are perfect

[@robertdunlap7641]

Ross you rock brother I need to learn the technique you use to grab the walleye instead of netting them

[@michaelmccoy8667]

Ross love your show, thanks so much for the content! Just curious, why do you have the engine cover on while running your boat? Thanks

[@billdemoss1049]

Awesome bro, I'm hanging up my deer rifle and heading to Cleveland ! After this eastern snow storm! For a few of those donkeys or maybe even a gorilla 😁

[@barryison3813]

Great videos!! Enjoy watching them. At what water temps do you prefer to troll cranks over crawler harnesses and when do you switch to the other?

[@michaelnoeldner379]

I use Bat handle wrapping from Dunham's sports on all my rod handles. Keeps them from getting tore up from the rod holders and also adds comfort and better gripping.

[@geminiridgeoutdoors5354]

Great video. I’m from Wisconsin...lol. Me and my buddy were discussing this weekend when trolling. Tie on vs. snaps. Do you tie directly to the bait or use a snap for quick change out. If you do use a snap, what style do you like? Thanks!

Just caught your seminar at the 2022 Cleveland boat show. Usually these seminars are very basic, yours was at a different level. Thanks for that and the swag. I was.watching this video and wanted to know what model Compre rod you are using. Thanks again.

[@jayrobertson232]

8:50, demonstrating how NOT to remove hooks from a walleye. Ross, try to remember that your actions, not just your words, count too!

[@jeffburdick833]

Mercury makes a cover you can leave on and run. That’s what it is

[@robertcranford6205]

yes i did be nice to know the name of the stick bait

[@catchonedrinktwo]

@@robertcranford6205 44 mag reef runner?

[@christopherchontos152]

FYI your 44mag lure link is flagged as potentially dangerous.

[@Unclefacts]

"crankbait's in my pants" man if I had a nickle for every time I said that to a girl

[@phillipdavies6548]

The one constant in all these videos is they concentrate on showing you them catching fish. The information they give out is only handy much of the time, if you have the super expensive electronics and the state of the art equipped boat. Not much help to a guy with a small boat and little or no electronics

[@barryison3813]
