Favorite Methods

[Mike Walerak]

What is everyones favorite way to fish?

Jigs with live bait or plastic, spinners and livebait rigs, crakbaits casted or trolled, the possibilities are endless.

My #1 pick is to pitch jigs up shallow.
#2 would have to be lindy rigging deep structure.

What are your favorites?

Kinda depends what the fish are taking but rigging is probably #1 for me, jigging #2 and when it gets into the summer I like to run 3-way swivels or bottom bouncers with a trailing spinner.

gotta go with a jig n minnow or crawler....backtrolling or casting......slip bobber and leech....etc.....

[walleyewacker]

I have to go with open water trolling boards and cranks. Jigs in shallow can be nuts as well.

My favorite technique would have to be jigging. You just cant beat a good walleye bite on a jig. I would also second deep water rigging.

#1. Night fishing with a lighted bobber, glo jig and a big black jumbo leech. It doesn't get any better than that! (When the Walleyes are biting, that is.) #2. Jigging on a river. #3. Trolling Raps at night. #4. Lindy Rigging. #5. Planer boards and cranks. #6. Explosive devices. (Just kidding on that last one, ha ha.)

1. Pitching jig and plastic shallow (less than 12 feet)

2. Lighted slip bobbers at night

3. Trolling crankbaits

I've never liked trolling or jigging livebait much. They're too fragile.

Hey guys, nothing better than tossin a slip bobber on a rock pile with a little walleye "chop"

[Northlander]

Jig n minnow or live bait riggin.

[LocalGuide]

1) Bottom bouncing spinners/snells
2) Jigging at any depth
3) Crankbaits
4) Slip bobber
5) (Trying new this year) Planer boards and cranks over deep water.

And keep those hooks sharp!

My favorite is casting rapalas in the early spring from my waders at night. The silence you have when you are on the lake by yourself at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, then all of a sudden bang, a walleye takes your rapala. It almost scares you, wakes you up and gives you the energy to keep casting. To me it is the most relaxing and gratifying thing in theworld .......cast.......cast...
....fish on....release....cast...cast.......

All the above!

i would say my favorite is with a 1 1/2 ounce bottom bouncer and burning them spinners really fast, in the heat of the summer, the walleyes practically hit the rod right out of your hand, i never knew walleyes could hit that hard,

My favorite technique is the last one I used that worked. Drift fishing live bait rigs I do alot, because it's pretty simple for my kids to do and a number of different species respond. Casting cranks can be a hoot when the fish are stacked because they'll often just whack the dickens out of the bait on the strike.

[Tour. Pro 175]

Trolling crankbaits, live bait rigging.

[can it be luck?]

My favorite way to fish....Effectivly!
You start with a plan of attack. Then it's all up to the fish, not you. Make your adjustments then give em what they want......In double doses!!

Favorites?

1. jigging early season, especially in deeper water.Usually black or other dark colors, tipped with a minnow.
2. trolling crankbaits in shallower water.
3. The old stand-by, slip-bobber, live bait, about 20 yards off the dock. Works all the time, especially when nothing else is.

Fishin' is life
The rest is just details

Anyway I can get um I guess. But if I have to name favorites, I would say shallow fishing in the spring. Casting jigs and cranks. Then when the sun goes down, pull out the lighted slip bobbers.
