Bottom Bouncer Discussion
Thanks for the great reports! I'm so glad I found this forum.
I was fishing at my wife's family's cabin SE of Waldron Island late last week (Aug. 12-14) and did pretty well vertically jigging on reefs--crawlers and leeches worked well. Biggest fish was a 25-inch walleye.
We struggled once the wind really whipped up on Saturday afternoon, though...
I have a question to those who've reported doing well on spinners over reefs: Are you fishing them behind a bottom bouncer, a walking sinker or Snap Weight/in-line weight??
I ask because pulling spinners behind bottom bouncers is my go-to presentation on my Minnesota walleye lakes. But then again, on those waters I'm mostly fishing them across sand or gravel--not the craggy, nasty, tackle-grabbing rock that tops most Sabaskong Bay reefs.
As a result, most of the time I attempt to fish this way in Sabaskong, I spend all my time snagged on bottom, losing gear like crazy and not catching many fish in the process.
Do you do it differently???
Thanks
Ryan
