With walleye season open, or opening soon in most of Ontario let see some GOLD!!!
I have only been out once so far this spring but hopefully will get out again soon. I did a quick trip to the Bay of Quinte the other day to meet up with a friend to head out in search of a few "eater sized" walleye. We spend a few hours slow trolling worm harnesses in 9 to 12 feet of water and we were not disappointed we landed a bunch of walleye, a pike, a few sheephead and a bunch of pan fish. We released most of the walleye but kept a limit of 16-17 inchers for the frying pan.
I was trolling several different worm harnesses from a couple different companies and some "homemade" ones. I caught fish on pretty much all for them, but I have a few Double Trouble worm harnesses from Walleye Nation Creations, which feature a small treble and followed by a larger slow roll hook set up and I really liked them for decreasing the number of small panfish I would hook. The panfish would still grab and nibble the worm, but I never hooked a single panfish on the "double trouble" hook setup with the larger slow roll trailing hook. I still had my section of worm stolen once in awhile by panfish, but I did not have to reel in my line every few minutes to unhook a 4" panfish.... so my bait was in the water longer.... for more walleye.
