Deadly old timer trick an old friend shared with me for snapping tough winter walleye. We have had a lot of off days lately where the spots change from hot to cold fast and fish wouldn’t chase some of the more aggressive presentations. This little trick of pinching the minnow (break the back) has caught a lot of fish for us lately.
Might be the scent and scales in the water or maybe the fish are just triggered by the flopping action but this little tweak to your spoon or jig can drive walleye crazy.
