Deep Water Walleyes

[stewart]

With no tube to belch air, like lakers have, walleye have to eliminate it through their bloodstream. You'd have to bring that fish up reeal slow, like a day or two, to really help it any...

28ft is two atmosphere's worth of pressure if I remember corectly.

Hey river shark. What do you consider deep water walleye?? 40 feet sounds pretty deep to me. Hard to get a good hook set if it is too much deeper. You sarcastically responded "that's deep???". Share what you know or don't respond. Thanks. Link

Wow... that's deep!
What the heck do you use to get that deep and be able to set the hook???

We use spinners with a 3OZ. bottom bouncer!

I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies.
I have one more question...
Do you look for structure in these deep holes or where it goes from structure to deep (if you know what I mean)?
Thanks again.

In my experience, they have been small to medium flats, with deeper water adjacent to them.

THis deep water fishing is the area that Ontario's MNR has not fully appreciated when they have now imposed slot sizes for many prts of Northern Ontario , so what happens when a fish from the deep is pulled in and does not meet slot size criteria , we will have to hope it survives and put it back . It will be a shame to see fish left to float or be eaten by scavengers. I think I will try to avoid fishing more than 28 ft deep where I have other options.

I could not agree more. I caught a pike a few years ago and the spoon was out of sight. I was able to get the spoon out without hurting the fish but, I had the fish out of the water for along time and of course it was outside the slot. I did everything possible to revive the fish for about 40min and it went belly up. It's a shame to see a good fish go that way.
Always go barbless!!!
