Techniques
Boat and Equipment.We will be fishing out of a 2020 Lund 2175 Pro V walleye boat, very stable and can handle any type of situation that arises. Safety is my number one priority! This boat is is rigged perfectly for jigging in the river or making those long runs out into the lake.In the Detroit river boat control is the single most important thing. That’s why I have a MotorGuide Xi5 105 pound thrust, 36 volt trolling motor, this enables me to maneuver the boat in high winds and be able to keep us on the fish all day long. Of course electronics plays a very important tool as well GPS/Fish finder. Detailed maps, contour lines, and fish finder are very important for locating fish, being able to stay on them and adjust to the fishing conditions.My rods/reels are very well maintained, so your not fighting with your equipment only the fish on the end of your line.
