I’m going to be heading to northern WI for the WI opener this weekend. I have been a live bait walleye angler my entire life. That is before this spring when I took all of your advice and switched to plastics. Just wondering how well the super doos and ringworms work in a lake environment. The water will be a lot clearer and probably a bit colder. Thanks
wisnwangler,
Thankfully a walleye is a walleye in a lake, river, or reservoir and utilizing the plastics in lakes works just as good if you adapt to your conditions you are faced with. I too will be tackling clear lakes for this years opener and plan to put the plastics to the test once again this year on a different lake. Some of the things that I have done to improve my results on these clear lakes is changing up to more natural color selections and fish a variety pieces of structures and most of all, do not over look the night time action that can be had on these waters. Night fishing these plastics is what I have had my best success on. I will give you an idea of what I fished last year with these ringworms….I was fishing a stream inlet that dumped in to the lake I was fishing and had a good size shallow weed flat that topped out about 6 foot and fell quickly to 18-20 foot of water. These fish were right on top of the weed flat near dark and they were snapping any plastic presented in a slow predictable fashion. At times just a swimming motion worked well for us.
Hope this helps you a bit. They can be utilized in all kinds of lake structures, rock piles, weeds, sand flats, etc… Like I mentioned, my best luck in these waters however has been at night! Adjusting a little deeper may be something to try for the day bite! Good luck and

Is that Bang’em, pound’em or hammer’em?
Good topic for sure. Thanks wisnwangler and DeeZee.
