  • Trolling Fishing - A Historical Overview

    Walleye trolling has been practiced for many years, with the first recorded use of this technique dating back to the early 1900s. 


    At the time, anglers used hand-cranked reels to drag baited lines behind their boats.  As technology improved, the method became more efficient with the development of electric trolling motors and other specialized equipment. 


    Today, walleye trolling is a popular sport enjoyed by anglers all over the world, and has even led to the development of specialized boats and equipment designed specifically for this type of fishing. 


    Despite the advancements in technology, the basic principles of trolling fishing for walleye remain the same – drag a baited line or lure behind a moving boat to attract and catch walleye.

  • Speed and Depth For Walleye Trolling

    Speed and depth are critical factors to consider when trolling for walleye. Generally, a speed of 1.5 to 2.5 miles per hour is a good starting point for trolling. You may need to adjust your speed based on the behavior of the fish and the conditions of the water. 


    If you’re not getting bites, try slowing down or speeding up your trolling speed to see if that makes a difference. 


    As a general rule, walleye tend to be found at deeper depths during the day and shallower depths in the early morning or evening. Using a depth finder can be helpful in determining the ideal depth for your lure.

  • The Bottom Bouncer Rig

    Walleye can be somewhat elusive. They love staying suspended towards the bottom of the lake or waterway and may not be as active as some other fish such as bass. However, if you can deliver your bait or lure down to where walleye are holding, they can be very aggressive strikers on a wide range of bait types. 


    The bottom bouncer is a great choice for getting your bait down low in the water. It drops quickly and efficiently, and once it is down there you can start trolling slowly or retrieving it with your reel. The way the rig is designed will keep your bait moving and reduce the amount of snags in vegetation, on rocks, and on twigs.
