how is fishing in buffalo

[Alaskan Joe]

I did not get out, and I finally winterized the boat on Friday. This was a long, good season!

In one of the In Fisherman books, Al Linder says that he spends 50% of his fishing time jigging, 25% "precision" fishing with bouncers (short line, rod-in-hand), and the other 25% with all other techniques (Lindy rigging, trolling/casting cranks, etc.). I am sure that this is partly due to Minnesota's restrictions for 1 rod/angler (at the time that the book was written).

I am curious - How does everyone here spend their time walleye fishing? I am trolling worm harnesses ~70% of the time (most often multiple rods with bottom bouncers), trolling crankbaits 20% of the time, and ~10% of my time spent on everything else (jigging in the spring, etc.).

What do all of you do??

I spend 99.9 % if the time trolling. 75% of the time with worm harnesses. I use some plugs and spoons. I need to get out more. Work consumes way too much time. I plan to do more bottom bouncing next year. I don't use lead core but from what i hear it's been productive. I'm going to look into getting a lead core rod & reel. I'll have to see what fishkiller will be selling come spring.
