It&#8217;s simple, can be used with a variety of technology (or even none), and is a great way to cover ground and catch fish. The key is to target fish <strong>along classic breaklines<\/strong> or<strong> across mid-lake structure<\/strong>. Here&#8217;s my strategy:&nbsp;<\/p><p>I run a <strong>bottom bouncer rig<\/strong> with a snell and a spinner blade, usually tipped with a nightcrawler.

I always have. There&#8217;s something about feeling that thump on the end of your line and knowing it&#8217;s a Walleye. It&#8217;s one of the most versatile techniques in my arsenal, and I use it all spring, summer, and fall. The only changes I make are the depth and the type of bait I put on.&nbsp;<\/p><p>During summer, I&#8217;ll jig <strong>weedlines or structure<\/strong> and often target points, humps, and drop-offs using heavier jigs and a more vertical approach the deeper I go. When it comes to targeting fish in shallow water, I&#8217;ll switch to casting it.&nbsp;<\/p><p>My jig of choice? The <strong>Lindy B-Max Livebait Jig<\/strong>, especially when paired with a fathead or leech.

As water cools at the end of summer, particularly September, I&#8217;ll switch to shallow-water cranks.

I&#8217;ve found this especially true on <strong>calm, sunny days<\/strong> when the fish are pressured or glued to <strong>deep structure<\/strong>. A well-placed drop shot can be the ticket to a finicky bite! This is another method that really shines with <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker.com\/blog\/forward-facing-sonar-fishing-debate\/\">forward-facing sonar<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p><p>I typically run a short tag (12&ndash;18 inches), a nose-hooked minnow or soft plastic, and just enough weight to keep it vertical.
