All Eyes On Fishing's Podcast

Spring Transition

Open water is here and the Walleye are moving away from the rivers and the spawning grounds and starting to school up and transition into the early summer pattern.  Fish are scattered and on the move.  Here today and no where to be found tomorrow.  Big fish can be tough to find unless you are fishing early morning or the night bite.  You need to transition how you fish and where you fish.  Not only daily but sometimes hourly.  How you catch fish at 7 am may not be how you catch fish at 1 pm.  Live bait may not be the best presentation this time of year.  Fish are hungry and reaction strikes can produce more fish then you might think.  Don't miss this episode.

Boat Rigging

Rigging your boat is highly personal.  A bracket here and a rod holder there.  It is all about personal feel and what you have seen others do.  Due to popular requests we go into how we rig our boats now and how we have rigged old boats.  We rig our boats to be efficient and and to store what we need.  We like open space free of hazards and we use that to fish at night and in tough weather conditions.  Lets talk rigging boats.   

Make 'em Bite/More Reaction Strike

As Walleye fishing and Walleye anglers continue to grow and expand their sometimes old school thought processes, more and more Walleye anglers are starting to resemble bass anglers.  Multiple rods used to optimize the number of baits that hit the water in a given area.  Aggressive shallow water tactics and less live bait produce more tournament wins then the traditional live bait presentations.  In this episode we talk reaction strikes and what that means.  How to go out and make them bite.  We need to stop coaxing Walleyes to bite and we need to fish for active Walleyes that are actively feeding.  This conversation gets carried over in tomorrows release of the Next Level where we are joined by Josh's tournament team mates Steve and Brooks Tyser and we continue to discuss reaction strikes! 

Boat Ramp Nightmares Reboot

It's that time of year.  Time to sit back and watch all those who sit on the ramps and load their boats.  Time to watch the cover come off for the first time this year while the boat is blocking a lane and is backed to the waters edge.  It's time to see all the dock smacking, chest wading, bad weather loading of the year!  BOAT RAMP NIGHTMARES.  If you are a long time listener, chances are you have listened to this one before, but if you are new to the All Eyes podcast we wanted to share one of our most popular episodes with you.  You don't want to miss this episode of some great stories of some of the worst boat ramp behavior we have seen.   

Trolling Leadcore For Deeper Fish

This is one of our original episodes on trolling leadcore for Walleye.  A lot of great information about using leadcore to get your baits down closer to the bottom and in those deeper strike zones.  Spring, fall and basin trolling are all prime examples of how leadcore can be used to produce more and bigger Eyes.  Don't forget leadcore can be used to troll for trout, salmon and other suspended predators that hover around the deeper water.  If you have never used leadcore, it is a must have in your fishing arsenal.

   

Stick Baits

Early spring is stick bait time!  Night time or day time, stick baits of every shape and size seem to be the bait that sets off those early spring Walleye.  We tell you our favorites and how to work them to trigger those strikes.  While we all sit in social isolation you can be listening to all eyes all the time!

Fishing Nightmares

As open water season approaches, lets take a minute to reflect back on some of our...not so great trips on the water.  Just when you think paradise is just a warm month away, we would like to remind you how quickly things can blow up and become an absolute FISHING NIGHTMARE.  

Break out the popcorn and get ready to laugh at how bad some of our fishing trips have been.  I am sure you can relate and you will appreciate the pain we felt.  

Early Active Fish

The ice is coming off in some areas and the daylight is getting longer.  Spring is just around the corner and so is the spawn.  Walleyes are staging and getting ready for that water to start warming up so they can begin the spawn.  Finding fish this time of year can be tricky and finding active fish can be absolutely brutal.  It's important to know fish still feed while they are waiting to spawn and they can be aggressive eaters.  

In this weeks episode we talk about locating those active early fish so you can start your fishing season off right.  Looking for warmer water and knowing what spawning areas look like can make all the difference in finding active early fish.
