Whats the best bait to troll at DC for Browns for walleye?

Big Rapalas !! At night !!

Almost any crankbait in perch or trout patterns work well. One of our favorites had been the Rebel crayfish shaped lures.

I used to scoff at lures like the rebel craw cranks.

Until I tried them. Some odd lures work at certain times of the year... these cranks work year round, for a huge variety of species.

Browns in particular but I have yet to try them on eyes.

You got down riggers? If you do you can get into th browns and then right under them are the walleyes . If you do then i will let you know what works or me.

I use 2 clips when i use my down rigger i set them 10 feet apart . I usually start around 50 feet and work my way to 35 feet . It also depends on water temps how deep i troll .I usually find the browns between 20-35 feet and eyes right under that hope this info helps.

Do you use two poles i dont understand the 2 clip thing

Yes you use 2 poles you can buy an xtra clip that you put on the wire on your down rigger.

I think he means one down rigger with a clip on the bottom by your weight then he adds a second clip above that at the other depth you select..
The add on clip has a safety pin type attachment to fasten it to the cable so you don't lose it then two rubber clips... One to attach it to the cable at the depth you select and the other to attach to your line..

I watching this also... I just bought a boat and I'm trying to learn about the different bodies of water in the state..

They make alot of different releases for balls and cables. Shasta tackle has a devise called a shuttle hawk. You can run your bait up and down without raising your ball. It takes alittle to get used to but is pretty sweet. Fishon

I've been looking at those. What pattern seems to work best(Chartreuse, Ditch,etc)? Is there much of a difference between the Teeny Wee and the Deep?
