Just sitting here going through the tackle box. I’m always torn between wanting the end of July to get here quickly, but then the summer is half gone! So here is the question…if you could only take 1 thing out to put on your line, what would it be?
1/8 oz jighead for walleye
Hello Joe. For an old timer like me that enjoys the quiet. Give me a Thill slip bobber rigged with a #2 circle hook and leech. If they're there they will bite it! My first 4-5 trips to Kipawa I trolled most of the time. Silver or gold #3 Colorado blades with chartreuse beads on a homemade harness, rigged with half of a nightcrawler was my favorite way of fishing back then. But then one day after trolling a couple of hours on a slow fishing day, I realized how nice the quiet was when I cut the motor to land a fish. It gave my ears a rest. I still troll but not as much. My first method is anchored with the slip bobber.

Silver and black Hot N Tot. Works for walleye, pike, lake trout, bass.
I'm with Captain Crappie. Slip bobbers and leeches.
For my son and me, it would be a 1/4 ounce jig and a night crawler.
Slip Float and Leech in the spring
1/8 ounce jig nd leech in September
1/8 oz. jig with small tail...white/pink...of course, a leech always helps. ;)
