Tactics:

Salmon and walleye relate to shallow or deep structure, and will feed in these areas heavily at certain times of the morning, day, or night.

"Location" is the biggest factor in catching big fish or numbers of fish! The water currents and "wind" will effect the bait fish, so each year at "specific times of the year" the fish will find the spot on the spot.

Sometimes it will be a big spot! The fish will be suspended in the water column near the structure or at the base of the structure, or simply right on the structure. Sometimes the fish

will be right over the mud in the middle of no where at a 1-3 foot depth changes or current breaks relating to the clouds of bait. Tactics used is trolling spinners, cranks, spoons with either mono-filiment line or the the new super lines! We use bottom bouncers, split shots or snap weights, or all three. Sometimes we use live baits rigs with big red tails, shiners with jigs or crawlers ranging from 1/16 to to 2 oz.

Captain Polfus will troll leadcore line with either 1-3 colors with 25-50 foot leaders, either with spinners or cranks deep or shallow. We use dispsey divers for both the salmon and walleye to reach the depths required. He will fish them with spinners, spoons, or cranks, dodgers and flys, spin doctors and flys. We also are using Big Jon electric downriggers with the aformentioned equipment.
