Pulling spinners. Maybe because I tie my own spinners but we catch a lot of fish doing that also. I keep my spinner box in the boat so we can adjust to what the fish want in a hurry. I enjoy slip bobbers also, but we can use 2 rods so I slip bobber one and use a jigging spoon on the other. Its not a common technique but it kills walleyes and perch. You will catch most anything on jigging spoons midsummer. From blugills to muskie.

My favorite way to catch them would be anything that doesn't use live bait laugh

Casting (cranks or jigs) is my favorite way to catch fish. And I like vertical jigging and trolling more than I like dragging around a live bait rig. I still do some rigging every year ---- but I like it so much more when I catch walleyes without using live bait!

Jigging a buckshot through the late season ice or watching my ice buster bobber disapear are my favorite ways to catch walleyes.

Throwing cranks into tree rows and rail road ditches, bouncing jigheads with Gulp! off of quansets or tying up to a tree with bobbers on Devils Lake is a close number two.

That place rules.

Casting a 1/4 ounce jig and a leech to the tops of small, isolated reefs on my favorite Canadian lake. Hop it once or twice and you can feel it get picked up and see your line moving sideways slightly across the water. Set the hook and fish on! Is it heading for the surface? Nope, staying down, this isn't a smallie, its an eye, get the net!

I'm starting to get pumped for summer!

that is why the jig and minnow or leech combo makes it my favorite. it's that sudden thump or early in the year when you just feel resistance. i took my son in law and my soon to be son-in law to this small lake up north of duluth aways. well they wanted to know how to jig. it takes awhile to get that feel. i had the same pound test and the same jig and minnow at the time for all three of us. i cought ten walleys before they got their first. they got it down now. once they were golfers and now hunters and fishermen. good luck.

I think watching a slipbobber go under ANYtime of day is spectacular and is my favorite way of catching 'eyes, but jiggin', riggin' and crankin' are somtimes much more productive. Whatever works. Something "magical" about watching those bobbers go down, though.
