My name is Mike Herbert and I'm a fishing guide based out of Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I target walleye in the St. Clair River and Lake Erie primarily, but like to catch other fish too!
Tips for Trolling In "Walleye Chop"
The wind was a bit brisk on this outing, making it a perfect time to discuss some tips for fishing in choppy waters.

Drop Shotting Evening Walleye!
มุมมอง 403วันที่ผ่านมา
I went for a short evening fish out on the St. Clair River. The drop shot rig is something I've been wanting to use a lot more lately to try to get better with it and so I decided I'd give it a shot for some walleye on this outing.

On this outing I was using my @lowrance Active Target to pinpoint where the fish were and I would cast out my jig to get the lure right in the strike zone! What a fun way of catching them!

I went out with my youngest daughter on this outing and needed to pivot our plan due to bugs and a less than ideal bite. We managed to keep spirits high and have a good time by following a few simple tips I follow when fishing with kids.

Thanks for another informative video!
Continue to enjoy your videos....keep up the good work!
Thank you!
What do you have more success with , spoons or body baits?
Spoons have been my most productive lures the last 2 seasons. Prior to that it was the Black and Chrome Ripplin Red Fin that did the trick. When I'm by myself running 2 lines, most of the time I run 2 spoons to start and will change to a body bait if things are slow (just like in this video). When I'm running a 4 or 6 rod spread, I'll always have at least 1 to 3 body baits out. I only run body baits (Bandits and Reef Runners) on my planer boards. What's your preference?
@@bearbonesfishing I prefer crank baits off boards , I only switch to dipsy divers if the fish are really deep and then spoons seem to be better. Recently tried the stealth diver setup and it out fishes the standard diver rig
Safety is always important! Ive had a few turn arounds over the years and also few days I should have turned around but had gotten too comfortable. Its a humbling experience when you have items floating at your feet driving back in after a day of fishing
Thanks for sharing your insight. The white knuckle, wide eyed, wet ride back to the marina I think happens at least once to almost every angler.
Nice fish man! 🤙
Thanks!
What kind of blaidbait is it ?
It's a Freedom Blade Bait
15in limit?
Not on the Canadian Side
Nice work buddy. Drop shot is a very productive method.
Another great video Mike! Have you ever tried drop shot or just fishing in general for perch around that Point Edward area where you are fishing? It would seem like there would be spots conducive to drawing schools of perch
I might give that a try some time. I've caught perch in the areas around Sarnia Bay Marina but never in great numbers.
So, are bare feet part of the Bear Bones philosophy? lol Enjoying your videos....keep them coming!
😂😂😂. Probably not a great idea on my part with fish hooks around... But there's just something about bare feet on a summers day that feels awesome lol.
Good job!!!
Nice whereabouts you fishing to be able to jig em like that?
This was out of Port Glasgow, Ontario. It's tons of fun! I first tried it at the end of last season and have done it a few times this year. You'll catch more while trolling, but this technique is a nice change of pace.
Enjoyed the video. My buddy had an Alaskan....loved that boat! Where is your favorite launch on Lake Erie?
Port Glasgow for sure.
Another beautiful day on Lake Erie! Loving it.
Where are you fishing now?
I'll be running out of Port Glasgow till the end of September.
Geneva-on-the-Lake 74ft limited out by 915am.last week
Lake Erie is littered with walleye these days 😂. Seems like every Port on the US and Canadian side are on fire.
Nice setting
Great fishing.. north shore?
Yessir. Port Glasgow
How was the ice out there for the most part?
Along shore had a few soft spots but the outfitters I went with knew the trail to take. I had 14 inches at my hole.
4.5 is a sweet smallie! Way to go, Mike!
@@matthewjmills Thanks Matt!
Awesome video Mike! Haha were you even out there an hour? Do you ever run flashers with your spoons?
Thanks Joe! Just over an hour for those fish. I don't run flashers with my spoons on Erie. I've thrown them on when trout fishing up north a few times, but never felt the need for them on Erie.
Best day ever👍🏾
love fishing the weeds of the inner bay, just spent 10 days there at the parents cottage
Went on Friday night, at the mouth and in front Purdy’s, was like glass. Caught around 20 walleyes, mostly small ones. Also hooked up to a Sturgeon but had to end up cutting my line after fighting it for 20 mins. Love the shorts and videos keep them coming.
I currently have a 2022 model 2000 Alaskan. I see these newer models are slightly longer and wider. I’m curious if anyone knows if the deadrise on the hull changed any. The hull on my boat is 10 degrees. If I could definitely find that the hull more of a deep V I would be all over one of these. Thanks for the video - well done and informative.
I've gone thru all the documentation I was given, as well as the brochure and online web page... I can't seem to find the deadrise info.
Awesome video! You should try out front of Cathcart Park between there and Bickford Line road on the Ontario side. The 2 biggest small mouths I ever caught came from there (5+ lbs) and I always hook one bottom bouncing as I role through there. Lets see a “how to catch perch on the st clair river” in the next video 😄
@@Joe_DuchonOoooooh... That could be a possibility.
Great video mike!
Thanks!
What was your bait and what size weight did you use? Great video
Thanks for the kind words! I was using a Brown Back Berkley Flat Worm and 3/4 oz. weight.
Mike, when you are running spoons on the Dipsy Diver, what length leaders are you running from the Dipsy? Also what kind of snap swivels are you using to attach the Dipsy and to the leader? Sorry for all the questions!
Hi Rob. Ask all the questions you want my man! I'm running a 5.5 to 6 foot leader (I measure it by using my wingspan). I use size 2 or 3 Torpedo brand snap swivels. I have a mixture of both because a couple times I went to the fishing shop, they only had one or the other. So now I'm left with a mix 😂.
Hey Mike, Have you had any issues with your Xi5 bow-mount; specifically your hand-held remote causing your motor to develop Tourettes-like behaviour ?
@@odochartaighofodonegal9815 No issues as of yet. Mind you it's less than one year old. I take it you've had some problems?
@@bearbonesfishing A few of them, namely the unit twisting around in fixed course bearing and the unit powering off (without tripping the breaker). Had all sorts of recommendations- from bad wiring and bad motherboard to having to recalibrate the GPS compass. Finally broke out the remote foot pedal as a placebo and it worked fine. Turns out the hand-held units are not 'waterproof' but 'water-resistant' as the battery terminals were corroded. Just a heads up. I fish just down the road out of Bruce and follow your content. Keep up the good work and more importantly, keep those lines tight.
@odochartaighofodonegal9815 thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep the hand remote dry. Tight lines to you as well!
Great video! I have fond memories of fishing with my father when I was young. I now fish with my 3 children almost every week! I am truly blessed.
don't bring them,is the best tip.
Top Speed? How does it do in big waves/wind?
Top speed I've gotten is 44 mph. I've been out in 3 foot chop and even larger rolling waves. Boat handles those incredibly well, just have to take it easy and play the throttle.
I have fond memories of fishing as a kid. I eventually stopped for whatever reason. I'm now 37 and decided to get my fishing license. I've taken my 6 year old daughter fishing a few times now and it feels great to be back out in nature relearning how to fish with her.
Great video. Good see kids out fishing. My daughter is my fishing buddy too. We fish the same area.
Great video Mike! That is such a great name “Juniper”. I learned all these lessons this year. My boys are good for about 2-3 hours on the boat… a little bit more if I bring the iPad, a little less if we aren’t getting any fish. lol
going out Friday. Any advice? How deep to start trolling? how fast? etc.
I'd head out till you hit 65 feet of water. Troll between 65 and 68 feet. I'm usually going around 2.4 to 3.0 mph. Spoons and Ripplin Redfins have been great! Adjust the depth of your dipsies or downriggers depending on what depth in the water column you're marking the fish. I've caught them from 15 feet all the way down to 60 feet on some days. I may be heading out Friday as well. Hope to see you out there!
@@bearbonesfishing Nice, hope to see you too. We are in a wilker 17' 4's company. Do you have a marine CB?
Great video Mike!
@@Joe_Duchon thanks Joe!
Great Vid, what rods and reels do you use,thanks
I use the Okuma Pro Magda 30 DXT reels and Okuma Classic Pro Great Lakes Trolling Rods, a 7.5 foot (inside rod) and 9 foot (outside rod).
Looks like a great day out on the water.
Mike, great video as always! Is Erie rough (Waves) a lot or conditions seem to always pretty good?
@@roberthunt1788 I'd say way more rough days than there are flat conditions. That said, depending on your level of comfort, you can get out quite a bit, you just might need to take it slow. But with any of the great lakes, always erh on the side of caution. When in doubt, just sit out!
My SOP now is trolling with leadcore and marking schools of deep fish with the GPS. Then when I have a half to full dozen waypoints I go back and jig them. I use mostly tube jigs, jigging raps, Acme V-Rods, and heavy jigging spoons like Colt Snipers.
@@tuiflies5869 that's a great way of going about it. I actually cycled thru most of the lures you mentioned. That day they had no interest in anything but the plain jig and plastic. Do you use the jign raps and blade baits in specific conditions?
Keep the burbs, they taste great
What a great moment to capture with your Dad!
What live target mount are you using ?
I've got the GeigerTech Marine Mega Mount
Nice seeing out there Sunday. Bit crazy comming into the slip with the kids tournament going on.
