But as soon as the water temps hit about 40 degrees the walleyes go into a prespawn bite mode. It usually doesn't last more than a couple of weeks but if you find fish at that time they will usually hit...low and slow. Definitely different than trolling at mach 3 for them in the summer. Traditional best color plastic is white...or white with a blue back. But chartreuse can be good too...depending on water clarity. I plan to conduct some on-the-water research on the subject soon. First gotta get my wife mobile again. She is still on the mend from getting her second new knee...and I am the 24/7 primary caregiver. If I can get her doing jumping jacks and kicking field goals by mid March I'll be chasing wallies.
Interesting, Can't say I every tried white when bottom bouncing for eyes but I'll be sure to give it a try Pat, thanks for the infio. We have been having our best luck this Winter on white or silver and blue fligs and wobblers but plain white isn't a color I've tried. Best of luck with Dolores and getting her going again.
