perchmaster May 3, 2012 at 7:19 pm Reply Hey Andy I have heard about this type of hook and know of a couple of guys that swear by them. I myself have never used one. So where would this destination be? I have been spending what free time I have had on the bay out of Green Bay this spring and been learning new things and doing well at them i might add. As for the crop circle technique that might make for a little story soon but I don’t want people to think I lost it!!!
Dustin Kaehr May 4, 2012 at 8:03 am Reply Look forward to hearing about this and its success over a scotch some night in a couple of weeks!
Professor May 7, 2012 at 2:25 pm Reply The “Slow Death” technique certainly appealed to the Green Bay walleyes, but no more so than a traditional crawler harness and spinner blade. On Saturday, the walleyes went temporarily insane and bit either bait with reckless abandon. I nearly experienced a slow death of my own during this hot bite. Andy and I were so busy setting lines and netting fish that I started to over-heat inside my foul weather gear. Sweat was pouring from me during a crazy sequence when we had four fish on at once. (Andy calls this a Chinese fire drill for unexplained reasons.) After this, I had to take a knee while Andy splashed cold lake water over the two of us. The action was so furious that we lost track of the eaters in the live-well; it was starting to get crowded with fish. Andy counted them up and we had our limit of 10 beauties. It was 8:50 AM.
Gord May 8, 2012 at 10:28 am Reply Something about large, sweaty men splashing water on each other is kind of creepy.
Professor May 8, 2012 at 11:47 am Reply Gord…Would it make a difference to you if Andy and I were sweaty dwarfs?
perchmaster May 7, 2012 at 6:21 pm Reply I’m not sure but I am guessing you must have been on the east shore? Reason I say this if you were fishing out of Green Bay on the bay yes you could have had the ol fashion “Chinese Fire Drill” as it’s called but I am guessing you had some sheepshead on the end of some of those lines. But I am thinking I am going to call “BULLSHIT”!!!! HAHA!!
Professor May 8, 2012 at 11:52 am Reply Hi Perchmaster…We were fishing the west side of the bay out of Oconto. Usually, we get some sheep, but not on this trip. Bah!
perchmaster May 8, 2012 at 6:25 pm Reply Hey Joe Yea I have heard fishing has been very good out of Oconto this year. I have been out several time out of Green Bay this spring and we have caught a ton of sheep. They even become a pain at times. But still fun to catch
Andy May 8, 2012 at 10:20 pm Reply Perchmaster, Saturday was a great day to be on the water. I had one line simply hanging over the side of the boat with a second rod also laid over the side with a board attached that I was getting ready to set before seeing a double on two boards. While we were reeling in the double, I looked down and saw the two lines hanging over the side had fish on them. By the time we got those lines in, the fifth line started to drop back and we had our fifth. It was a crazy day on the water. The next day was a humbling experience. Same locations, same baits, and we got skunked as well as soaked by the rain and wind. I would definitely try the slow death hook again on days when the fishing is slower. It requires a very slow presentation of about .5 mph to .75 mph. I am stocked up for the trip to VBL.
