What's worked best for you guys fishing walleyes this season? I've caught more on a plain red hook and minnow than any of the above with the buckshot a close second.

But if you use both, you've got a killer combo. In a two-man shelter, put a minnow/bare hook under a bobber or on a deadstick in one hole, and jig in the other.

If the 'eyes are on fire, they'll grab whatever you're jigging. If they are neutral/negative, they'll still be attracted to the flash/rattle/thump of whatever spoon or Rap or Nils you're jigging, but lots of times will turn away and see that seductive minnow 2 feet away, and will slam it.

Over time, I get about half my fish on one, half on the other.

even though i'm constantly jigging, most of my fish have come on tip ups with glow red jigs and plain red hooks, as for jigging, angel eye glow red has worked good and so has a minnow colored nilsmaster

Almost all of my fish this year have come off of either a Chart/Glow Glow-Devil or a Pink/Glow Angel Eye Jr.
In the past it was a Pearl/Chart Do-Jigger, but this year the Scenic lures have been the ticket for Cats, Eyes, Perch and Crappie.

Angel eye and little glow crappie jig with a crappie minnow worked well on Tonka.

Same Angel eye got me a 17" eye on Mille Lacs, but nothing on set line. Only been to Mille once this year. Going tomorrow for the whole weekend though.

Later,

The majority of my fish this year have come on the plain red hook set up as well (one of those years you don't need all the cool stuff, I guess) and a green angle-eye when they're more aggressive in the twilight hours. Buckshots a distant third.

Good luck fishin!

I've done pretty good on the chart. buckshot spoons this year haven't had much luck on the angle eyes. I have been fishing some smaller lakes in mahnomen county and a combo of either a tip-up or a deadstick with a # 6 FROSTEE jig in blue glow with a nice fat chub and jigging that rattle spoon has done pretty well for me. I have also caught a few on small jigging raps, rocker minnows, just a plain thin wire hook and a shiner or a fat chub.

I have in past seasons had great sucess with both the buck-shot and Nils master jigging shad, with the Nils being a favorite. The slipbobber rod using the icebuster bobber as they are so easy to set and there is no resistance for the fish always at years end accounts for 40-50% of the total take on walleyes. This year was the first year I have used a Angel eye spoon and well lets just say the other two jigging lures I refered to have spent more time in the box and not in the lake. I really like how this spoon fishes it has a great slow fluttering fall that just works!!! The Nils is still a favorite for me and always will be it's a geat lure. I have however sort of fell out of favor with the buck-shot spoon. It fishes so much heavier then the angel eye. I fish mostly in clear lakes where I think flash is more of an attractant than noise. Given the right conditions the Buck-shot spoon has its place. Hey thats my $0.02 for what its worth.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
