The Program for Catching Walleye

[Madd Matt]

Good post Matt, everyone has to start somewhere and it's good to know there are people out there that are willing to help.
Don't really know if I deserve to be on your list , but thanks.
Trolling is a whole different ball game that puts fish in the boat and I learn something new each time out.
I do have a question for you, do you strictly troll now or do you like to drop back to old school and drift and cast?

Cheers

Lol... I know that you are new, but you contribute and you share. That was the point to my post, I wasn't trying to give any one person credit as much as share a personal experience. You joined this year and engage conversation and share in here quite often.

In regards to trolling or casting... I LOVE the jig bite when it's hot! If I can go limit on a hot jig bite or go trolling for trophies, I'll jig!

There is nothing like going out to the reefs and casting some meat and catching walleye. I love to go out and relax... However, I am not a captain and usually have friends with me that I bring up and they are after the "Walleye of a lifetime" and for me the odds of that monster 32" 15lb walleye being caught are much better if I troll. I have my spinning rods on board all the time.

If I could catch the same class of fish consistently on the reefs during the Summer as I can trolling then I would cast / drift over trolling. You just can't cover the same ground and I don't seem to catch the large class of fish (on a regular consistent basis) when casting.

But, yes, I still love to hold a rod and feel the fish hit!

I'm a newbie this is my first year trolling for walleye and fishing Lake Erie I met a captain skipper9 jim who has helped me every step of the way setting up my boat to equipment to buy I learn something new every weekend and now this weekend I'm moving up to the big boards I'm little nervous but I think it will be awesome I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions for him and another great thing is my boat is at channel grove and all the captains there are very helpful I look forward every weekend coming here to fish thanks again jim
