    Don’t forget to open your bail and thumb the spool while you whip (sideways like you are throwing a frisbee sidearm to the front of the boat) as the sinker lifts from the bottom the baits (why you use multiple) will drag in the water and pull your sinker back, and that’s when you lift your thumb slightly and let the sinker fall back.. after a while your line will be out behind your boat pretty far, you can bring it back and start over or simply keep whipping.. and I personally don’t use a 3 way swivel, I actually use a wire trolling harness with multiple snaps, put my pencil weight at the bottom and usually tie my first leader to the top snap, depending on the night or the spot your in, sometimes you’ll end up moving that leader to a different snap to lower your baits in the water column, play around with multiple baits and you will definitely feel the difference in the resistance in the current, also play around with balsa vs plastic baits, I’ve found that 2 original balsa pencil plugs (one wonderbread, one clown) with a floating rap in the legendary vampire color or Tennessee shiner is the golden ticket! Of course this is on braided line and a 2oz pencil weight.. hope this helps man, you can never stop learning when it comes to walleyes, they can be somewhat addicting lol

    Oh and just to add, the shorty rod is because when you get a significant amount of line out or are using a bigger weight up river where the current is faster, your normal rods will just bend like crazy with very little movement out of the harness, which is a killer when your trying to whip out more line

    In Algonac on the SCR we grew up calling it “still fishing” not whipping.

    Just to add a comment. I use braided line since there is no stretch in it like mono has. You can go back a long way with the current and some tines it is hard to let line out when you whip because of the stretch. Also it makes for a better hook set on the fish. Baitcasting reels work best for this since you can keep your thumb on the spool while letting line out. I use pencil plugs, some glow which work well. I will say that probably 60% of my fish are on the back lure so the middle one does produce fish. Also using two lures sometimes provides a double header which is always fun. Good luck out there if we ever get to spring this year.

    There are a lot of spots that are accessible. The Marysville area is a hotspot to get on some fish from shore! Your best bet is Mid may to Memorial day.

    You can use it in the daytime. Shorten the leader length on the floating baits to keep them closer to the bottom. However, other traditional methods mentioned in other videos are much more productive during the day.

    Great question! Yes, you can and I’ve caught them while pausing or getting distracted doing something else, but you’ll get the trigger strike from the movement of the bait.
