I am with you on that one Jon. That glow of a bobber a few inches under the surface is a great sight. I like pulling cranks to when Bobber drives the boat. LOL

Though this doesn't happen on ML very much I guess, I love pitching light jigs to shallow water and felling that thunk of 25"+ fish in less that three feet of water!!!
Sure, anybody can catch the wallys when they're biting using those old techniques. When they're crankety and full like they're going to be this year, you are going to have to get creative. Here's an old fisherman's trick to get them in your boat. First you have to get a can of black eyed peas. (Green Giants are the best) And you need a baseball bat (I use a Louisville Slugger) You spread the black eyed peas evenly around your boat. Then when the walleye comes up to take a pea, you hit him in the head with the bat. It may take awhile, so you have to have patience, but eventually they will take a pea.
HH, The brand of pea for this technic isn't as important as the way it's presented. I usually use beer with my presentation. After spreading the can of peas in the water, I usually pour a can of beer (your own brand will do nicely) around them. The beer is going to make them want to come up for a pea......... then you have to be ready with the bat! The good thing about this technic is that you can still keep a line in the water.
