Good video! As far as the bump test goes. Interesting fact- after dark, alot of the prey fish species, such as perch, cant see so well so they lay on the bottom. The walleye will go up too them and bump them with their nose. That bump causes the prey to dart upward and pause, because they can't see the walleye and don't know what happened, that is when the walleye will inhale the prey👊💥 they're really a cool fish. Keep up the good work brother 👊💥🎣

Great video ! I personally keep it super simple. First light I run just a simple 3/8 oz chartreuse jig head and a shiner but I hook it through the side just below the lateral line it allows the minnow to give off a very flashy exaggerated twitch motion. And I run my bait 4” off the bottom tops so that the walleye aren’t having to swim up off the bottom to the bait. Unless the barometric pressure is high then I’ll come up abit more in the water column where the pressure is less. We fish mulhurst 2-3 times a week usually get the first hole drilled around 4-4:30 pm if it’s a week day and fish till pitch black and it’s extremely rare to catch less then a dozen fish in 2-2.5 hours for 2 guys. In the summer troll until someone catches the first one then drop anchor and switch to jig head and minnow and little to almost no jigging and I’ll tell ya what we’ve had triple digit evenings for 3 guys. Love the vids on your channel keep it up!!!

Gives me something to watch while I drink a few beers lol. And man do I ever learn alot about fish behavior! Especially how they behave at different times of the day and their direction of travel, thinking I got this group figured and set up ambushes for them on their way from the shallow weeds in the morning to the deep parts they hang out in during mid day. It always makes for fun watching them come in in their little hunting parties and trying to call them in from afar.

I am familiar with the "bump" test and, personally, think you've rationalized it correctly. With or without electronics it's the bane of fishing if you strike at the first bump. The fish obviously weren't feeding aggressively - more like a take-it-or-leave-it - mood. I'm thinking live minnows, smaller live minnows, or perhaps an exotic offering might have worked but I don't have a high degree of confidence after viewing this. So many fish, so little bites. (I think you may be on to something with the dead minnow on the bottom dropper.)

When I fish late ice pike I use a rippin rap to get em to come in. It grabs their attention. Then I drop a dead minnow on the bottom and pull the rippin rap. Every single time that pike takes the minnow, eats it and spits it immediately then eats it for real the next time. I also fish perch similarly. So many people raise em off the bottom. When one comes in I drop the minnow to the bottom and they just attack it. Fun to watch on camera.

I'm not sure how much more lively a dead minnow can get? How do you make dead minnows lively? We are not allowed live bait in Alberta, canada.

Hey thanks for the advice. You might not realize what is going on here. This is a stationary lure that is below a Jaw Jacker, which is an automatic fish hooker. We were not watching the video while it was filming because this was a GoPro on the bottom of the lake. We didn't see the fish swimming by in proximity to the hook. Just dropped it down the usual 6 to 12 inches off the bottom which seems to work well. Most walleye I catch come up to a bait so I usually like it above them. If you look at their eyes they look up and most times hit prey above them. They tend to be more skittish with the camera down. Once the camera is gone we get a lot more fish on the dead stick Jaw Jacker.

The bait looks horrible down there, no surprise they aren’t hitting it. Jigging walleyes and perch it’s about presentation and that looked like exactly what it was. Get a better lure and jig minnow heads and see how they bite it. Obviously fish go through periods of not biting anyways due to weather systems, time of day etc. but the presentation has to be what they want and by the looks of it they didn’t want that. If your gonna let a minnow sit down there hook it behind the dorsal fin with just a plain hook and let it swim natural. Idk may I’m missing the point of the video. But if the point is to get the fish to bite than yeah horrible bait presentation. JMO

Thanks for your opinion but you're correct that you don't understand what is going on. This is a dead sticked minnow on a jig. The minnow was a frozen, dead minnow. So I actually don't think hooking it behind the dorsal will let a dead minnow swim. If you are talking about using live bait, that is not what this is. LIVE bait is ILLEGAL where we fish as I have said in many comments. I think any googan could probably catch a walleye on a live minnow. We were jigging minnow heads and flutter spoons around this jaw jacker and not even marking fish while this set up was getting plenty of attention and catching fish. You have to understand the fish are a little leary since I have a gopro on a tripod a few feet from the bait as well. The point is not showing the perfect way to catch a walleye. I don't see that stated anywhere. It just shows walleye behavior in a pressured lake to a dead sticked jig and minnow.

It appears those walleyes have been caught before and know that if they get caught they won't be able to breathe for a few minutes And yet people say they have a 5 second memory span but look at em There like nervous kids try not to break anything

Fun fact. Fish can’t see as well as you think. They can see blobs a ways away but need to get within 12in to actually see detail of the bait.

Thanks for the information. Seems you are correct about fish being near sighted. I think given water turbidity is quite often a limiting factor it doesn't make sense that they would need long distance clarity. They need more focal clarity when something is about the enter their mouth. But the way I have seen trout come in and target a single chironomid from a long distance in clear water I think they still have pretty good vision because I can barely even see the fly at that distance. Pretty amazing these fish!

@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures

@@SickBuckNaStY No it is all of western Canada where I fish that using live minnows is illegal. All of Saskatchewan, Alberta and in British Columbia you are not even allowed to use dead minnows. You can use like worms and leeches, just no live fish. It is to protect the resource from introduction of non native species. Since you have asked what I think about the rule, "I think if you can't catch fish without the use of live minnows you aren't much of a fisherman." I've never used live minnows for bait and have never felt I needed them to catch fish. Plus it seems a little cruel to hook a live fish and let it struggle till it gets destroyed by a sportfish. Whatever floats your boat though. Probably if it was legal where I fished I would think differently.

Never let your bait sit still in the water like that. It allows the walleye to gain vision of the hook and they will be less likely to bite once they identify the hook. Just work it a little quicker and aggressive and you will increase that reaction bite chance!

In this case we found that laying the hook and minnow directly on the bottom like a dead minnow was most effective. They are used to picking up dead minnows off the bottom and it is the easiest presentation to mimic. Try it out, works amazing in pressured fisheries.

Esox Addict experimental, at that time thought it might add some attraction. Sure brought the fish in. Now I have dialed my jaw jacker presentation to just a vmc jig head and no stinger. You haven't seen more recent videos I assume. Initially struggled with hook ups even with a stinger. After changing rods around and trigger tension I have it working much better without need of stinger and bulky jig.

The Fishing Doctors Adventures the problem I saw saw was the blade hanging down from the jig. I don't think that had any thing to do with bringing the fish in I think it's why a lot of them didn't bite, even the one that u did catch stopped at the blade. Live bait is illegal over there like Manitoba? Jawjacker definitely has a little learning curve I'm actually making a few for Xmas presents and I will checkout dome of your newer stuff.
