If you are interested,beginning
mid to late March ,every weekend fishable night,we will take you on
FREE WALLEYE fishing trips. FROM SHORE, you must be patient,once the
bite is on it can be fast and furious! I will be there to
help you land the fish. I do not fish,
I am there to help and land
them.
Beware, once you are explained how to fish for them,I am not
the kind of guy to keep correcting you. If you want to reel in 100miles
an hour,I will not say a word.
We meet at the shop at 6pm go over techniques
of how to catch them,what to use,what to do if you get one. In the
spring we pulled over 150 fish all over 5lbs.(Largest was 13 lbs.)
If you have never caught a WALLEYE,this is the time! If you bring
a young one ,they must have a LIFE JACKET! My 12 year old wears one
or he does not go!
Please give 1 day notice(
email
fish@baitdave.com) prior to your trip,so I can prepare my wife for
my disappearance.
*Fall trips start mid October.*
TACKLE NEEDED= Flashlight, proper outer winter wear(note in November
we have fished in light jackets,depends on what weather we are blessed
with)
Lantern,flash light.stringer(heavy one 20'), med-heavy action
rod 6' to 7' (try to bring 2 per man, just in case the bite is fast
and furious,if you get a tangle while the bite is fast and furious,this
will keep you fishing!) Guys have picked up there limit in as quick
as 35 minutes. Line 14 to 20 lb test,fresh,no kinks,no dry rot! LURES
Husky jerks model #s (hj12) or (hj14), rattle traps, hot-n-tots, a
couple of crank bait divers,your retrieve is key,will educate at the
shop when we meet.Bring a couple of each lure we are fishing a rocky
area. ALL LURES SHOULD HAVE A RATTLE IN THEM,,VIBRATION!! Of course
that vibration will attract them females :-)
MANY,MANY FISH HAVE HIT
<2FT FROM SHORE,as long as your bait is in the water be ALERT.
When you set the hook,no whimpy stuff! "CRANK THAT HOOK-SET"
NET?? it is up to you, many guys have netted them and with that net
have accidently bumped the line causing slack=lost fish! The walleye
will set on top of the water after he is in,laying on top of the water.He
is fooling YOU,he can dive/run at any time. DO NOT take his bait ,he/she
may be playing possum!
Then need the fishermen to
be patient,I am not GOD, I am going off past and prior years cannot
predict the future.
Also even though these are FREE for fun trips,
I feel responsible for your safety and your success. If you walk away
fish-less it bothers me,provided you did everything right.
I am not a preacher, I will explain how to work the bait,how to land
the fish if I am note close enough to get to you. I will not give
any unsolicited advise once we are fishing. I will keep you updated
on what they are getting them on.
We do carry things mentioned
at the shop & this website if you cannot find them in your
neck of the woods.
