Old School for Old Fish
A current rage in fishing revolves around Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) and its uses. Some anglers love this technology, while others despise it, saying it violates the rules of fair chase and going so far as to state that it could ruin fishing. In this writing, I will not debate that issue or present the “how-tos” of FFS. This will be a bit “old school,” as I will discuss some fishing techniques that have been around for decades and still produce fish. I know they still produce fish because we used them on TV shoots this summer to produce good fish catches.
 

The first old-school fishing technique I will describe is what we call the plain rig walleye presentation. This rig consists of a bottom bouncer and plain fluorocarbon snell with two hooks tied in that are baited with a nightcrawler. We use this rig to target walleyes that are held in lots of different places. We have used it the most to target classic walleye-holding structures like sunken humps, the edges of underwater islands, and weed edges. We have, however, caught fish pulling plain on the tops of flats and in featureless basins as well.
