- Darn it! Lost some of the video filming this episode. Oh well, still was able to get my point crossed... Canoe fishing can be an effective tactic for catching walleye. Mostly, traveling by. canoe allows you to access waters where fishing pressure is light. The BWC A is one of many remote areas in our region and a canoe gives you a wider range of fishing options. So, get outside, explore and catch some fish!
Thank you. I am headed to Gunflint Lake in late August. I will be watching your video to prepare myself
Great video !
Thanks! Hope you are able to get out and enjoy some great things we have going in our area. For me, Minnesota is the best! Thanks for watching
Great video, very informative! Makes me think that I missed my opportunity, next time I’m going fish with you in your canoe.
Although I don't live in that region, I've done plenty of walleye fishing, and my old roommate fished just walleye, and I managed to pick up tricks that work and improved my catch rate. It pertains to this style of jigging for walleye.
1) 3"-4" single tail jigs, and 1/8th oz heads early season, 1/4 oz summer until fall.
2) when jigging do not use mono. Braid is your friend. Walleye like to hit on the drop while jigging so feeling it can be tough, braid improves sensitivity and is tougher than mono.
3) even in lakes with pike, we don't use leaders. It affects your presentation in my experience.
4) if you can use a shiner with your jigging rig with the plastic, as per your regs, then do it.
5) 8-10" from bottom is perfect jigging height from bottom.
6) when you get a strike, lift your rod level to the water and lift straight, don't tip your rod tip up to set the hook. Chances are magnified of you messing up setting the hook.
7) last one. When walleye are hooked from jigging, they're gonna do a figure eight pattern. You'll see this once you've set your hook. Bigger walleye will feel similar to some pike, just a log til they see the boat.
Couple added things to consider as well as the valuable info in this vid.
I installed an anchor trolley on my solo canoes and I run a small 16" drift sock on it. Works incredibly well for slowing a drift. I can pull the anchor trolley to move the sock to run off the side, bow or stern instantly so I can have my canoe positioned in a perfect orientation to whatever I'm fishing for structure. Best part is I stay locked in that position with no spinning or anything and it's hands free.
Thanks for the tip! Nothing wrong with canoe fishing in my opinion. Probably should figure out a proper net sometime. Thanks always for watching
Great video! Learned a lot that I’ll use on my next trip up there!
Did you get em?
I have been doing mostly Quetico for 40 years.
The first 32 years mostly Saganagons.
The last 7 years mostly the west end of quetico and the bwca. With one trip up to Beaverhouse, Quetico, Jean. That was last year when the high water took for ever to warm up.
The first 30 years was mostly walleye. My brother really likes the tap tap of a walleye bite.
But the last ten years I have converted him to a smallmouth topwater addict like me. With a mepps near buy.
We use to go to Saganagons with a high-school buddy who's uncles use to fly up near there in there float plan. He once mentioned the north east part of Saganagons is where the smallmouth would spawn.
My brother and I are a one trick poney. If the warmer temperatures are just right for spawning. We have a blast.
If the water is to cold we struggle. Same with post spawn.
Any fishing lakes or lures and techniques are welcomed.
I am 60, my brother 63. He is not much of a fan of portaging. And our bwca trips have too many people.
Thanks...
Thanks, Golfish! Thanks for continuing to watch even after my A’hole response to one of your comments. Sorry! I might have a lake suggestion where the bass are unlimited and the size of footballs. Timing the spawn is always best as you say, but you can target these fish all season. Thanks again for hanging with the channel! In 2 weeks, I will be going for early-ice walleye and I will talk about the spawning stuff that I have observed. Have a good day
Definitely need a leader if fishing where northern roam. I lost a R&W daredevil and silver minnow back to back to big northern on Elle Hall 2024. I will have leaders this year.
@@fastjimmysoutdoors5286 you are definitely right! Tackle is getting pretty expensive these days…hope you get big one on your next trip
i was like why are you putting the lake trout back in LOL... good vid.. yeah i did several trips.... longest was solo 3 weeks on an inflatable canoe w/kayak paddle patch kit and pump ha caught fish as needed, but honestly bass tastes better than walleye out of nortwoods lakes in my opinion, but thanks for the awesome vid
Thanks for watching. I do love fishing and eating fish. Yep, the bass tastes pretty great.
Good info. Thank you. What was that fish head concoction in the bucket near the end?
That is my fertilizer/fish emulsion. Really works! Thanks for watching!
and i did catch walleye, mostly on rapalas
Hi! Nice video. Are you fishing Gunflint Lake?
Thanks for watching! Not gunflint lake…email me and
I can give you the details
not summer yet? nice!
Please explain more about "the spawning side of the lake" by spicies.
Thanks...
I will try to explain my observations on spawning side on my next fishing video…couple of weeks. Do you fish in the Boundary Waters? Glad you are still watching and I hope you are catching.
