Tyler, thanks for another great video. I have a little help with increasing the weight of the bottom bouncers, which is very simple and works great! Get yourself some 1oz rubber core sinkers and add them as needed. Place them above the current weight on the wire. It works great, and the options are now endless! Like you always say "FISH SMARTER NOT HARDER" Hope this helps!
Awsome video. For me, in the spring, I like to fish sandy bottom mixed with pea gravel flats 2' to 10'. When that water is 40⁰f those fish cruise in the shallows because the sand warms faster throughout the day. Also, those shallow fish will be more aggressive. This means you can use shallow cranks blad baits jigs and plastics. The more erratic the retrieve the harder they hit.
I went out on the Columbia on Saturday and got a quality smallmouth and then the wind really picked up and I had to bring the kayak in. Glad to see you found the eyes
there is a local fishing legend here in Utah who has a channel called Tubedude. he makes "fligs" or floating jigs out of foam gardening mats and paints them multiple colors. this floats the bait up off the bottom a little, do you recommend keeping the bait close to the bottom or is floating it a little a good idea?
I always tie up my own Wedding Rings (same as your crawler harness but with one hook, Colorado blade and a "ring" in between the bead stacks); the Rainbows and Browns love 'em. So much cheaper than buying them and, as you said, you can really customize them. Lol, commented too soon; I do the same thing with leaders of various lengths and my Wedding Rings on pipe insulation😀. Thanks for the video Tyler.

That's brilliant!
thanks for this video, I plan to try for some eyes this spring and this helps a ton. it looks like low and slow is the way to go with them.

Ha - I had my boys out fishing the same spot this past weekend. We didn't catch anything, but had some beautiful weather.
My favorite way to catch walleye!
We have really only one Walleye lake near where I live. Hoping for a better record this year there at Vallecito Reservoir.
Thanks for the vid!!! Yeah son, That's how it's done!!!
You talk about water temps for spawning, I have the fish hawk to check temps, at what depths should we look for those temps?
In the top 15' of the water column near shore as that is where they spawn. Good question!
Tyler, does it make sense to troll in that depth/temps during the spawn, or do they get lock jaw at that time?
The bite gets pretty tough at that time. The post spawn feed in those depths can be really good though

Yeah hoping to chase some Smallies next week

If its snaggy maybe?
Sounds kind of like a Santee cooper style rig
Have you fished the Pend Oreille River for walleye
Just the mouth at the bridge on the lake itself. I did well once and got skunked a few other times.
Was that squeaky real an okuma Magda pro?

What net are you rocking?
Ranger Standard 337 replaced with nylon rubber mesh
Roosevelt ? Looks like a beautiful day on the water
Banks Lake
@@spiltmilt Thought so. Steamboat is real hard to miss.
Do you ever run a flash light or any type of trolling/pop gear when fishing for walleye?
I don’t.
Thanks for the vid! Is the whole lake unfrozen now?
There was still some ice on the south end but I imagine with the wind and heat this week it won’t last long
Banks Lake????
