    Is this a fishing video or just you talking and posting your line breaking for well over half of the duration ?

    Medium sized onion lop the ends... skin it til clean & put it in the oil before frying fish.
    This keeps the oil from burnin' as the onion absorbs the too hot burn. It'll blacken but the oil wont burn or the fish.
    This is a secret that i pumped out of my favorite Cajun chefess...the Queen of The Universe...none other than mean jillene.
    It is best to trow out dat injun da next day yeah😂

    Was there today (drove an hour to get there). A few bites (a couple right by where you were fishing here) but no catches. Well, I snagged a shad. Lost a couple of lures. The water was pouring through the gates and it was really windy, so it was tough fishing. Saw a walleye, gar, and a couple of big catfish caught, though. I've had luck there before, but it's pretty hit or miss for me. Saw some pelicans, eagles, and kingfishers, and it was sunny, so not a bad day. Still wish I'd had something to show for the drive, though :D

    Next time you cook one, try looking up walleye wings. You cut out the pectoral fins and there’s a good amount of meat that a lot of people waste!

    I've fished that spillway (it has been 15 years at least) and there weren't any Asian carp at that time, but they weren't really anywhere back then..I had very little luck there but I know now a lot that I didn't know then. There were great numbers of white bass when I was there, caught on a small blade bait, and I caught smallmouth Buffalo as well. And the walleye is a great fish to eat, hope that it's a good experience for you.

    Now that is a spillway! I had to try those flatworms, because they were always sold out. They work, but the hype may be a bit inflated. I am not a huge believer in scent. Nice walleye, dude.

    Try breading it with frying magic or Andy’s yellow side by side sometime for any freshwater fish. I prefer it over batter typical. I mix 50/50 egg yolk and milk and dip it in that before rolling it in the breading and dropping it in 350 oil to golden brown. 10/10

    Cool video, sweet spillway. I find your approach to these spillways super interesting, just straight up saying where you are at is something different for sure.
    Also with the musky thing, it’s better to just run a leader. The musky don’t care, they will bite through braid probably easier than flouro tbh.

    • @EngineeringHooksets
      @EngineeringHooksets  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This spot is super well known and busy, I don't think I'm adding any pressure by saying the name. Also yeah musky were kind of an afterthought. I just figured a walleye wouldn't mind the difference between 15lb braid and 50lb braid so might as well use 50 in the small chance I got a musky to bite. Thanks for watching, man!

      Hey man I’m in Peoria and always looking for extra spots without a 1plus hour drive. Is it private? Have you ever tried a white zoom trick worm? They are the bomb in spots like that. If you want to go catch some I’ll bring the trick worms and hooks. I usually have the most luck with them mid spring-mid fall. Non stop action on the LMB!

    There shouldn't be silver carp or bighead carp up there, as they cannot get past the spillway at Carlyle.
    You should see common carp and grass carp there, though.

    Take the front treble off of that crankbait, and drastically reduce your chance of snagging up.
    I don't feel like it reduces my hookup rate when river fishing at all.
    That front treble is trouble.

    • @EngineeringHooksets
      @EngineeringHooksets  ปีที่แล้ว

      You mean on the blade bait? I catch probably 2/3 of my crankbait fish on the front treble. Predator fish inhale bait head first when possible so I think it makes sense. If anything I would swap the front treble for a double hook with the points facing up.
