Trolling Walleye with Leadcore | Complete Guide| Lake Vermillion, MN

Trolling walleye with leadcore and crankbaits. Complete guide to how to troll leadcore line to catch walleye including how rod and reel setup, how much line to let out, trolling speeds and lure selection.
Deadly method for catching walleye in August on Lake Vermillion in northern Minnesota but this presentation works on many bodies of water when walleye move out to deep basins.
Starting in July and often lasting through the summer and into the fall, many walleye on Lake Vermillion will pull out over deep soft bottom basins where bug hatches occur and baitfish like tullibee congregate. This is an easy opportunity to simply catch a lot of fish for the live well. Many eater size fish can be caught with an opportunity to catch some big fish mixed in. Great scenario for beginning anglers or kids that simply want to reel in a bunch of fish. Great opportunity to catch fish for the table.

I'm going to have to give this a try this summer. I live in Washington. A lot of our walleye lakes are a lot deeper than in the Midwest.

I remember as a child mowing and cleaning McKinley Park campground on lake Vermillion and supplying them with Leaches and nightcrawlers that I caught and trapped on my own. Right outside of Tower/Soudan.

Thats Probably The Biggest Walleye I Have Ever Seen😱

[@tomberrisford850]

Your videos are amazing and you're incredible buddy love you buddy ❤

[@kentgrotewold6848]

Great video Jason and good information on consistency of your set ups to replicate presentations! Also good to see you back up at the Big V! I'm fortunate to be headed there next week for a few weeks. You could have gone to the west end though to give me a report...lol. Just kidding it's great fishing throughout the lake but the east end historically has better overall numbers of walleye. Looking forward to your next video🙂

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Good luck! We had a great time

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@Clarencechapman]

Great Video. Heading up there tomorrow. The high lighted area is right outside of our resort. Do you still go by 5 feet per color? Even with the smaller lures? Thanks in advance for your reply. LOL guess I should have watched the whole show before asking. LOL

Wish I could go there, and fish walleye still want to get a boat I keep looking on fb marketplace I like the aluma crafts, bought a truck this year maybe next year have a boat looks so awesome and nice walleyes caught there

[@Wescoot2]

You can always rent a boat

[@MakOutdoors]

Jason are you using a barrel swivel to attach the lead core to the florcarbon ?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Sometimes but like the nail knot the best for braid and Wilson knot best for Fluorocarbon.

[@yerneedsry]

That cheek meat is amazing...

[@kickassclone75]

Ask 100 people who fish and more than 90 percent probably wouldn’t even know that’s the best eating meat on the walleye.

Are the Walleyes mushy like Kabetogama 😝

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Haven’t ate any mushy walleye from either lake.

[@lcjohn51]

@@JasonMitchellOutdoors We were just at Sandy Point every walleye was mushy. You could even tell while you’re cleaning them they were soft and mushy.

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

@@lcjohn51do you think that is being caused by warm water or barotrauma where the fish are dead in the livewell all day in warm water? We have ate fish from Kab many times and they were great. Also just ate fish from Vermillion and they tasted like walleye are supposed to taste like. When it does get really hot, what can work much better than a livewell is simply cut the gills of the fish and put them in the livewell to bleed out and than put the fish on ice in a cooler.

[@lcjohn51]

We caught them, put them them right on ice, clean them with in a couple hours of catching them, depending upon how long it took us to get off the lake. Sagers walleyes couple of smallmouth, bass and Crappie‘s a smallmouth bass was the best of all of them. I’ve never had walleyes, or Sagers that were mushy like that.

[@lcjohn51]

I had people from Nevada and Florida here and bragged about how good these fish are. You never had fish this good. They said they’re mushy very disappointed. We caught a lot of fish. 18 inch, 4-22 inch, one 25 1/2 inches.
