Ever since my trip to El Salto, I’ve been toying with “magnum baits” in particular the 6″ Storm Swimbait. I’ve been throwing it on the River for two years and its worked well for Smallmouth but as of late no success on Walleye. I took that swimbait on to Mille Lacs in late August, first cast on a reef and fish on, a very nice healthy 28″ Walleye.
I’ve also been toying with a Magnum Squarebills (3/4oz), I’ve thrown it in the past for Bass without success. Over the weekend while in NW MN I had the urge to “try”, with a half hour window and well to my surprise the results were fantastic. The results were two very healthy walleyes at 28″ and 23″.
Its proof that whatever Mr. Stange is doing, well its works! Walleyes on “magnum baits” up to 28 iches, well that’s in the books for me. Good Luck!
