Walleye Deep Troling

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Walleye Deep Troling

Post by Wally »

Just got back from spending 10 days at the cottage on Lac-Ste-Marie ,the fishing was very poor for me .I notice on my sonar that the fish seems to be in 30 fow.
I did try bottom bouncer with a worm harness spinners and some jigging with a 3/8 ounces. I even try a few days on the river,i even saw your Holly Marie Statue,
Bass addict ,a couple of small ones there but no keepers .My question is if I want to do some deep crankbait trolling ,how do I get the crankbait 30 feet deep without a
downrigger ,what kind of fishing line would I use to make sure it doesn' t twist. Any advise would be appreciate...Wally

I have researched but never tried it but the recommendation tends to be about 10 to 30 ft depending on how clear and line shy the fish are.
