thanks. going to lake of the woods this july. thanks for any help ron

1 to 2 oz bottom bouncer and crawler harness perch colored from ReelBait. that is all we fished last year and caught a bunch of walleyes.

One tip though, the ReelBait spinners are 4 feet long, cut them down to 2' to 2'6" and you will snag up less on the rocks

Lures;
1) L&S Mirrolure jointed crankbait size OOM color 23 or RT
2) Heddon River Runt floater in rainbow or crawfish
Jigs;
1) Northland Whistler or homemade equivelant
2) Bullet head jig (smaller hooks than other types of the same weight)

home made spinner for bottom bouncing hammered copper,1 ounce bottom bouncer.2 inch green tube jig.FISH ON.

1. Don't leave home without some 1 ounce bottom bouncers
and a number 6 or 8 hook tipped with a leech I kicked some butt
last summer on that combo.

2. Near sundown tie on a number 9 shad and start cranking for
suspended walleyes over deep water and sunken islands
and HOLD ON! Don't get me wrong you can still crank durring
the day but I like the evening bite.

Good luck...

What rod would you use for bottom bumping

I second the bottom bouncer, but as light as the conditions allow you to get the crawler to bottom. I like hammered brass and bright orange. Fished the Nestor Falls area and all we use for 'eyes.

Lure #1:
Spinner (hamered gold), 2 beads for, 2 beads aft with a #6 hook tipped with leech, minnow or preferably 1/2 crawler). You build your own with 8lb low diameter line

Lure #2
Little Cleo, 1/2 oz in bronze and maroon on a 4' tip with swivels at each end. Drift, troll, cast it goes where you want it to.
BUT- it can be great milfoil harvester at very low speed retreival. You will know when you are too slow

I could NOT do it!
If I did, my wife would think I only needed one fishing rod and only 2 lures. ;-)
