Are you even kidding me!! Using the word Donkey in August is unheard of, THIS is exactly why you are hands down the best on Lake Erie. Looking forward to the Spring already.
Actually I’m going to buy a new walleye boat!! Gonna need to book some time with you so I can soak up some of that knowledge first hand. Love the channel!!
Jeremy you won’t be disappointed, did exactly that in the Spring and learned a TON on using planar boards. Best investment I make is time on the lake with Ross.
Just wondering Ross what rods you are using for your dipseys? They have nice action but backbone. They are not broomsticks which I see alot of anglers use.
I am new to Erie fishing and really like your track, post and holder setup. Can you tell me the make models? I have several of those holders from my kayak I could reuse but would need the track and post info. Thanks.
@@Bigwaterfishing excellent. I got a bigger boat this year and am planning on going walleye fishing with buddies in April at put in bay. I want to use my own stuff and boat but would pay for knowledge on where and how to fish
If I catch them supper deep they usually go in the cooler. Of they are fairly deep I put them in the liveweel first and use some ballast weights to see how they do
Glad someone said it! On the other hand, leave your clickers on when they are in the holder and loosen up your drags so that they barely hold and you won't have to worry about watching the angle of the line. Even a small walleye will cause it to slip a bit and you will hear it click. Thanks for posting!
guides are used to leaving them on because it let's them know when there is drag being pulled or when the client is reeling. They want to hear it because it let's them know how fast they are reeling, which is very important with crankbaits. They can tell the customer to speed up or slow down depending on how that clicker sounds.
What type of rods are you using for the dipsy's? I don't see any eyelets. Does the line run through the poles? I've purchased some from someone but never seen them before. I think they were some old Cabela's brand. Just wondering if they are the same.
You west basin guys are funny. 44 FOW is deep? We are in the eastern basin where the walleyes are suspended 44’ or deeper over 90FOW or deeper on a regular basis & dipsy’s are mandatory if you don’t have ‘riggers or fish 5+ colors of lead off of big boards. Great video though. I’d like to see some on lead core for any tricks that are new to us.
Using 6-8 oz. snap weights will give you great depth over shorter lead lengths- an 8 oz. on 60' of line at 2 mph will get you to 42'. Add 30 more to lead and you're hitting 55'. Not a lead core guy so I'll often run them with deep-diving cranks on 20' leads behind magnum boards instead of using the riggers.
I see you are running Cabela’s inner flow rods. Have you ever had to replace the end guide? If so where did find the guide? I have two inner flows and I love them. One of the guide is cracked and I need to replace it. Any help would be appreciated. Bill
I saw the comment about no snubber. I was wondering the same thing. I assume you are using braid. Also, I was told I cannot watch your videos when babysitting. New vocabulary.
He’s using really long leaders behind his dipseys so there is plenty of stretch already. Plus, walleyes don’t scream like Kings do. I prefer to use a stealth set-up myself (where you can remove the dipsey) vs long leaders. But that’s just my preference.
Ross has said in past that it’s kind of important because you want the bait to be the only thing to catch the fish attention. You will note all of his are black. IIRC somewhere along the way he spray painted some that were NOT black to BE black.
Why in the world is everybody throwing them stinking sheep head back smack them in the stinking head and throw them back for the birds to eat. They are getting overpopulated in Lake Erie. You cannot enjoy a day of fishing for walleye without catching a half a dozen or more of them stinking things.

Awesome video, I went out with a buddy yesterday and we caught 9 walleye, 7 keepers. We were in 70 feet of water.
The man! The myth! The legend! Ross Robertson
I love how excited you get about catching a donkey! Fishing with you is on my bucket list for sure! I want to reel in a donkey 30"+ fat girl.
Living the dream
Nice job dude and producer dude! Dude you always land donkey’s 🔥🔥🔥
This…. Is why I woke up this morning.. high five!!

@@oldmantod THANKS Man!

hmmm, hitting the rod makes them jump off? ever heard of flea flicker line? my guess is yes and if i'm wrong i will try smacking the rod
Can you just turn your clicker off
, so we can hear you talk?
Walleye tournament magnet.
Sorry if I missed it, what size dipsy do you use and do you keep the outer ring on? Very helpful video. Thank you!

Berts custom tackle track, riser cradle and swivel rod trees rod holders. Fishusa.com has all of them
What is your reason for not running snubber? Good video.
Hello sir. Do you happen to be a guide around put in bay ? Thnx
Yes....bigwater fishing guides primarily on the wester and central basins of lake erie
@@Bigwaterfishing excellent. I got a bigger boat this year and am planning on going walleye fishing with buddies in April at put in bay. I want to use my own stuff and boat but would pay for knowledge on where and how to fish
On the Canadian side we are fishing 70fow...they are way down deep
Great video . Not sure how deep you're catching them but do you have trouble with keeping them alive when you just toss them back in ?
If I catch them supper deep they usually go in the cooler. Of they are fairly deep I put them in the liveweel first and use some ballast weights to see how they do
I use black and clear dipsys to know my settings but I’m only running 4 rods
What line size, type are you running after diver to lure?
Turn that clicker off when reeling in!!.

EXACTLY RIGHT, THAT CLICKER DRIVES ME NUTS, TURN IT OFF..! 😡

What type of line do you prefer for your dipsy program? Wire or braid?
If you had been fishing a tournament instead of filming this video for us, would you have been optimistic of cashing with those fish?

Other video you said don’t use Deep Bandits with a Dipsey
Help me on you rod.. I used to use diawa interline's but they are not available in the states anymore...

why no snubber?

Sheephead Steve
Wow...lol
LMAO!!!…..
Turn clicker off
How important is the color of dipsy diver?
Ross has said in past that it’s kind of important because you want the bait to be the only thing to catch the fish attention. You will note all of his are black. IIRC somewhere along the way he spray painted some that were NOT black to BE black.
@@oldmantod you need a channel..these guys cant bother to answer...so thanks!
Shut your clickers off when you re a fish in

Shame on you for throwing back walleye
