Repairs needed for Water Dog, after that it's on!
When jigging for walleye, I also fish a perch spreader and drag it on the bottom, tipped with minnows.

Do you drag the spreader for perch in particular or to Target walleye. It's looking like I'm on the water next Thursday or Friday!!

Both perch and walleye like to hit the spreader. My favorite is perch my wife likes walleye. I never use any bling on the spreader.
Let me know how it works for you, just make sure you have some rope on that pole~!

got the 6 walleye today (in about 2.5 hours) , all between 17 and 19 inches, lost one at the boat and had 6 hook ups and then lost it, those hard mouths are tuff for that little stinger hook.
Most hook ups were due to the stinger, however there were two and got the big hook.
Toussaint Reef , many boats , many nets a very nice day for fishing. Many boats were to the west in a cluster, and more to the north.
Using a green jig, stinger and tipped with a shiner , had the perch spreader out however no takers, sometimes that will pull a walleye and yellow perch.

a head boat was working close to shore, and others out from that.
6 milking males, one throw back and 2 lost hook ups, all in all a better day for this dog.
using bright green jig tipped with a shiner and stinger hook.
very aggressive bite with the main hook and some with the stinger.
started at 9 am and done by 11 am
love these short runs
no takers on the perch spreader tipped with shiners.
Back Soon,
