Walleyedmike Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Sorry for the late report. The wife and I made a quick trip to Stockton last weekend, fished for five hours or so Saturday. Bounced slow death rigs in 20-25' of water on a main lake point and found a few walleye. Kept four 'eyes that were 16"-18.5" and a crappie, but caught seven keeper walleye. Was a great day on the water, looking forward to the next trip! WM LoweSTX175, Sac River Jim and zarraspook 3

slab slinger Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Sounds like a good day. Like hearing info on the walleye. I don't fish them enough hard to break away from the crappie. Thanks for the info Mike I'll br trying them Friday!
wuteversbitin424 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 It is almost that time where the bouncing and flickers will be the go to thing...the flickers are getting some results now but in a week or two it will get really.. got some new colors to try and i want to try bouncing that red slow death rig. Good luck fellas keepem coming on the reports...ive had to pull my daughter from her day care and the next few days i have off will be spent with her until she starts back at her old one so itll be a couple weeks before i get out. Thats one of many reasons i love OAF because even if you cant get to the water it still seems like in a way youve been every day...good luck guys. Ps my dad caught a mess of buck crappie around greenfield 5-8 fow right onthe bottom.. 4-6 ft visibility and 67-69 degrees. Real real light bite..sounds like they were holding on the nest.
Boobie Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 WM, What part of the lake were you fishing if you dont mind? My son is out of college for the summer and he asked me to take him to stockton walleye fishing. I have been waiting a long time to hear those words!!!!! Leaving wed. coming home fri. Told him we would try bottom bouncing and its good to hear you are catching a few. Thanks....
Smithvillesteve Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 How about some info boys? What is a slow death rig? A pic would be really nice. I was in Cabela's the other day and never saw anything in the walleye area that said "slow death rig". A couple of buddies of mine will be down Sat, Sun and Monday. Hoping to get on some "eyes!!"
Boobie Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Mustad offset hooks that spin while on a bottom bouncer. YOUTUBE it.
Walleyedmike Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Smithvillesteve here's a link to the mustad website http://www.mustad.no/www2010/products/product-news/a-perspective-on-perfection I snell the slow death hook to a 3' or so leader with a bead and a swivel. Use quality swivels to make sure it spins. It's fished on a bouncer at 1-1.5 mph. They should produce on Smithville as well! Boobie, I was midlake area. Hope you put your son on some 'eyes! WM
