Anyone have some pointers on catching walleye on calm sunny days? Cloudy days with a decent chop are the best, but when the wind is non-existent and sun is bright, what are your techniques? Prefer to jig and drift but have all the gear to troll as well. Any pointers are appreciated! Thanks
I know this has been beaten to death, but I cant find a thread on it. What is generally a good down speed for kings (fishhawk speed). What temperature is a general starting point? Thanks
Dont want to hijack the thread, but this question will help everyone.
How do the fishing tactics change over the course of the summer? Right now we're jigging and bouncing harnesses. In a few more weeks does it change mostly to a trolling suspended walleyes, or can you bounce jigs off the bottom all summer?
Pretty awful fishing for us this weekend. Same story as most people regarding the kings. Saturday - started in 80 feet and headed NW. Hit 350 feet and headed back south. When we hit 320 FOW the 105 rigger started screaming with a glow spoon. That was our only king of the weekend, and she was a decent 20lber. Not much happened after that and headed back in pretty early. Sunday - Started again in close at about 70 feet and pointed NW. Didnt move a rod, and decided that we would rather go out deep and have some steelhead action rather than try all day for one king. Hit 400+ and had an awesome screen from 60-80 feet down. Put the riggers in that range and had a good steelie bite as long as we stayed out there. Gotta love the acrobatics they pull when they hit. Other that steelies it was real hard fishing. Will be back up next weekend, hopefully can find a few more kings then.

How does the full moon affect the king bite? Is it worth getting on the water before sun-up even with the full moon? Or is it better to sleep in and hit the water at 8 or so? Thanks
There are guides everywhere on the Kenai Peninsula. Silvers are real fun, and the reds are probably in their peak run during late july. A fly out charter is definitely worth the price it's so much more than just fishing. We saw a few bull moose, a few big grizzlies, flew over a few glaciers up close, and saw more spawning fish from the air than you can imagine. If money is an issue, someone with a little fishing knowledge and the ability to ask a guy in a tackle shop a few questions can do extremely well without a guide at all. Alaska is an awesome place, simple as that.
Does anyone have the Trollpro that records video at the ball? How does it work? It seems like it would be pretty cool if it worked well. Thanks for any input.
The lower unit of my evinrude needs the gaskets/seals repaired. Does anyone know of a reliable marina near Syracuse area that can possibly get this done by this thursday? Thank you.
