What are they Using?

Same Quistion as last year, Our local Amish are catching a lot of good walleye, We can't get a bite? What's the deal, Seen three fish caught all around me, We are trowlling at 1.6 - 1.8 Pulling every bait made,but They have something 3 ft. in front of anouther bait?

WE are in 15 - 24ft water in a 6000 acre man made lake in Ky. WE are fishing a long bend in the river channel with some bolder rock and rock bluffs ,the in side is a mud flat.The water temp is 80' and near the river where the backwater starts

It may be a dipsy with a crank following or can you use a jig and grub behind a refrunner or a #9 shadrap ?

Thanks

Will they talk to you? I'm not too proud to ask.
If they won't, BINOCULARS :muahaha:

No, they turn the boat so you can't see!

It sounds like they are using a flasher spoon in front of a harness.

sounds a little fost but maybe a bouncer and a spinner?

just wait until they start fishing the flw and pwt.. start there own little network ,, then were in for it.l.. or wait till they get there own fishing show to find out... cant you guys get closer ? what do they have more hp on on there riggs? drop a plainer bord in front of them , maybe they will help retreive it? break the ice. go buy some strawberrys at there house and ask them. somthing , now this is killin me to know. i have an idia , happend to me once. i was fishing and a guy who is famous but will not be mentioned swung his boat accross my set up with no doubt a super line of some sort.. took out 2 of my baits wound them up gave them back , appologized just so he could see what i was running,,, be creative.. just find out and get back to us.. im about ready to drive from wisconsin to find out myself....wait thats it ... we have there extended family here.. hmmmm? ill see what i can dig up . spend a few dollars at a few local farms .

I'll bet they're using a Jet Diver with a crawler harness.

Tie some harnesses up with flurocarbon, use a Jet 20. You'll be on the fish, and then turn YOUR boat. 55 feet of line will put you down 18', 43 feet of line will put you down 16', 34 will put you down 14.

In-line trolling weight, the old pink ladys that just dive with no keel setting, jet diver, Lindy weight...etc... Could be a three way with a crank like a deep diving reef runner with the harness trailing off the other eye. This seperates the in-line effect...


If you get the speed and the target depth you should be able to put a program together?... Are there any tournie fisherman that could go with you???... We beat ourselves to death with programs and could probably help your situation once the area is looked at...
Post a map of your lake and ask for ideas you'll probably get some that will put you right on target...Don't give up and most of all be cinfident with your presentation and pay attention to detail...

What harness would you use,I tie my own and use floats,spinners, maylars beads,in all combanations,using night crawlers on bottom bouncers with 3-6ft.leaders?

This is on Nolin River Reservoir Ky. They are stocked here not native!
Thanks to all
Donnie

Depends on the water clarity for the bead colors.
