By Jack Shriver Sr. For years, anglers struggled to catch numbers of walleyes in July and August. Fishermen, myself included, started experimenting with different presentations, and of those, bottom bouncing achieved the greatest results. I use bottom bouncers in depths of 14 feet and deeper, when walleyes are scattered.
Northland s new bottom bouncer weights and clevis are excellent.
They work much better than older pin shaped weights. Depth and speed are important components of bottom bouncing. First, you want to be moving fast enough so the spinner blade turns freely. You can vary speed, but make sure you re going fast enough to keep the blade turning. Next, make sure that the crawler is swimming as straight as possible.
