WalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Deep (20'+)SeasonFallStructureHumpsWalleyes were 18-32 feet deep on main lake humps feeding on perch a 4” jerkshad on an underspin was the ticket! 2 limits for supper and a bunch of 18-19 “ers released. A great way to catch smallies too! No live bait needed !

Smallmouth BassTechniqueDamiki RigSeasonFallStructureHumpsFinding islotated big boulders with Mega Live in 18-22 feet of water was the ticket. Short 20-30 foot accurate pitches with a jerk Shad had most fish hitting it on the fall! This tactic also produced 2 nice limits of walleyes for supper and quality fish in the 18-20” range

Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationThe Trokar TK130 is the best heavy cover flippin’ hook in my opinion and the 4/0 size is the best overall for most craws and creature baits. During the summer/fall transition in Canada fish are on the move I really like pitching to rocks, coontail, wood, docks, and cabbage weed with this set up. 30 lb Vicious no-Fade Braid in 2-10 feet of water.

Shiners are starting to run in the rivers. Leadcore trolling 24-27 feet of water on the south end was the best

If you want to catch walleyes on lake of the woods in August or any other Canadian shield lake. Fish a 1/4 oz jig tipped with live bait on main lake humps in 20-27 feet of water. This tactic produced over a dozen walleyes in an hour - 6-7 pm all 16-19 inches. The ultimate tactic to put dinner on the table! Hard to beat good old 8 lb Vicious Ultimate mono line for affordability and ease of use.

One of my favourite ways to catch Canadian largemouth in heavy weeds and cover. I recommend 30 lb Vicious No Fade Braid and a 76MHMF St.Croix Legend Xtreme Flipping Stick (I chose 74HF as it's also popular and 76 wasn't an option in the dropdown). This presentation requires the best and most sensitive rods you can afford for ultimate feel and bite detection in heavy cover.
