[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 60675, member: 367"] Once upon a time I was fishing with a guy that had so much confidence in cranks that we pulled them for 2 hours without a bite , We were in his boat and wasn't going to tell him how we should fish and since we were trolling fast in 12-14 FOW I snuck around when he wasn't watching and put two 2oz bottom bouncers and a spinner, you read it right, 2+2 = 4. I was enjoying a humble and silent hayday, one after another. He finally caught me just as I was throwing back the 3rd walleye, They were dinks but it was more than we were catching on crankbaits. It would have been funner if I would have latched onto a decent fish. I have tried bottom bouncers 3 or 4 feet in front of a crankbait but couldn't even catch dinks, There's no reason that shouldn't work . Anyone else try crazy stuff just to prove that you can catch a walleye with almost anything ? Maybe not a big one but I swear walleyes are way easier to catch than perch and that used to be complete opposite. Perch setups had huge bobbers when I was a kid and the bobbers would go a few inches under the water with a bite. Try that now days and you go home skunked [/QUOTE]
