Back Trolling For Walleye

Back Trolling For Walleye
When you remove yourself from all the fancy electronics & trolling motors it takes you back to the basics.
What time of year is it? What techniques can I accomplish using the boat I have? Where do I look for walleye?
Well I rented a boat in Northern Saskatchewan. It was on a lake that’s accessible to basically everyone so this was not at a fly in lodge. So during a half day rental I figured out what I could implement to try & catch walleye.
It was August so I know walleye will be on the move. I knew I could use speed & bottom bouncing blades of some variety to cover water. So I choose to target weed lines hoping some fish would still be in back bays migrating to the deeper main lake.
It didn’t take long & I got to bend a rod on a few Northern Saskatchewan Walleye.
Enjoy the footage

I wonder what the water temperature was. I always think of anytime after about September is being too late for bottom bouncing spinners but obviously that's wrong

[@surgeoutdoorsangling]

Video was filmed in July.
But definitely don’t limit techniques to time frames. Regardless of what some one tells you or you see online. Let the fish & the location dictate your technique.
I’ve seen rip jigging glide baits first week of June absolutely put on clinics. I had that lesson in a tournament once.
Also bottom bouncing spinners like Colorado blades with a minnow in late fall like Sept & Oct can be lethal.

How fast were you trolling..did u have to flip between neutral and reverse?

[@surgeoutdoorsangling]

I was straight driving in reverse non stop.
I had my phone on a gps speed app and was going approx 1.4 mph. With metal blades like a #4 Colorado blade you can catch walleye at 1.5-1.6 mph even in a tiller back trolling, if it’s a narrower boat depending on motor size.
If your looking for something to slow down your speed in this situation what you can do is purchase a 16 or 24 inch drift sock and tie it to the front eye of the boat to slow you down. I’d start with a smaller drift sock and then see / compare to what you need for your boat.
