Bottom Bouncer Walleye Fishing | Spinner Harnesses and Eye Candy

Insane walleye action on the Van Hook Arm of Lake Sakakawea in western North Dakota. Fishing fast with bottom bouncers and spinner harnesses. Substituting traditional live bait with the new Eye Candy from Northland Fishing Tackle. The Eye Candy is an elastic plastic which is much softer yet stretchier than traditional soft plastics. This material also absorbs scents well and floats, making it perfect for tipping spinner harnesses for catching walleye. The durability of the Eye Candy enables you to catch many fish on one body without having to rebait.
We cruised points and sunken islands in 7-12 feet of water where we marked fish with our electronics and pulled through fish at 1.5 miles per hour. We share tips on how to use bottom bouncers and spinners to catch summer walleye. Gear breakdown of rod and reel setup for using bottom bouncers and spinners to catch walleye. Insights on how to find and locate reservoir walleye. Lake Sakakawea located on the Missouri River has been trending hot over the past decade. Premier destination fishery for walleye.

Looks like a lot of fun I would love to come there try my luck on walleye's

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Hope you get there. Tremendous fishery.

[@danielscrapper8207]

Hey Jason you got any tips and tricks for late August walleye and perch on Devils lake, nd?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We are fishing the old shoreline contour where there is rock, submerged road beds and basically hard bottom areas a lot.

[@steveolson8100]

Thanks Jason good tips as always. You mention using scent with eye candy, I have seen different results with absorption rates with these using some fish attractants on the market. Do you think Northland will have one or do they?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Northland doesn’t have any stand alone scents or formulas

[@DavidRodenbaugh]

What is the rod holder you run on the bow. Liked the height added

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Stealth Rod Holders

Jason you are a very good salesman, I just clicked on your Northland Eye-Candy Paddle Shad link and found they’re completely out of stock 😢 I’m assuming you’re TH-cam video; “Insane Walleye Action” is responsible for that. Do you know who might have them in stock?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Scheels just got a bunch more shipped in.

[@billycarter5273]

what is the model number of that reel?

[@davefroehlich5483]

What do you soak your plastic in and how long?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

I use Gulp! Alive quite a bit. Soak for a few hours.

[@Westgrainwoodworks]

Does the scent actually soak into the baits after a few hours? Or will it just wash off once put in water?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

@@Westgrainwoodworks I have soaked them for a few hours or less but I just leave them in a Gulp Alive jar. The scent seems to last for a long time. What I have noticed however at times is simply using a fresh bait out of jar and casting at specific fish with forward facing sonar. Really deadly.
