duckydoty Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 For my birthday, my wife booked a trip for my Brother Dave and I with none other than Buster. What a great learning experience! I talked with Buster in depth about fishing for walleye and absolutely picked his brain apart about the baits he uses, places he looks for while fishing, water temps, time frames of the year, and techniques. Im sure he has cut at least a year off the learning curve of fishing for walleye with me. The last 3 times I have been out by myself, I have only caught whites and bass. Yesterday in 6 hours we boated 16-17 bass, 4 walleyes, and 4 crappies. It took me a good 3 hours to get the technique down, but once I did, the fish started biting. I have never fished that slow before, and Buster really had to coax me into slowing down. We had lots of wind yesterday which made Buster's technique a little difficult, but he did a great job of overcoming. Again, we were the only ones on the lake yesterday. The ramp is in great condition. It was cold out there and water temps were between 36-39 degrees. 5 stars for Buster!

Bill Babler Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Did you guys get any keeps? Without being in the boat with someone that practices those type of slowdown techniques it is just flat impossible to tell how slow to fish. Over 90% of the walleye he catches his stickbait is at least a 45 degree angle back behind the boat. Also I missed it from another thread, but very happy B.

duckydoty Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 We had two keeper walleye. Like I said, it would have taken me a year to figure that out. Lots of fish came behind the boat.

vonreed Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 What do you guys mean by behind the boat? Is the boat moving really slowly? Are you drifting with the wind?
trapshot25 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Happy birthday duck sounds like fun trip
duckydoty Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks trapshot. The boat is moving forward very slowly A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners

Jerry Rapp Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 interesting post. I was always taught to cast in front of the boat so you don't spook the fish. This was 1960's, 1970's, 1980's stuff. I got a chance to fish with one of the best at LOZ around 2000. He fishes a jig a lot. 80% of the time that jig was behind the mid boat point. Now I see this post about one of the best at BS and TR. There must be something to it. Line drag? Slowness? Obviously the boat or TM doesn't interfere with the bite. Aggressor1988long 1
