Join me on Georgian Bay as I head out for a night of fishing, hoping to hook into a true walleye giant. The sun has set, and the calm, dark waters are the perfect backdrop for targeting these elusive fish with some massive baits. There’s something special about fishing after hours—every sound, every movement keeps you on edge, waiting for that telltale strike. With the stars above and my sights set on landing a trophy-worthy catch, I’m ready to see if the night will reveal one of Georgian Bay’s legendary walleyes. Will tonight’s patience and perseverance pay off with the monster walleye we're looking for? Watch to see how it all unfolds, and don’t forget to subscribe for more fishing adventures and big fish action![YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/660o-Bgb_rc[/YOUTUBE]

Welcome to the darkside. Very nice big walleye. Heartbreak losing the big walleye at the 15 minute mark. Then a trophy at the 17 minute mark. Very nice. Just had a blast fishing 5 nights on Sturgeon and Balsam last week. But my Halloween post was where the scary big walleye came out to play. Thanks for posting that video, nice to see that perspective. I don't get to watch myself fish. LOL.
Maybe someday I will get a friend to video one of my adventures. It's really good of you to explain to the viewers how you approach your fishing. Looks like you guys enjoyed the night fishing. Great video, with some beautiful walleye. Stay safe out there if you do more night fishing.

Thank you!! I was fishing anywhere from 25-55FOW, with most fish suspended 10-25ft down.

I was in the sail store in Cambridge today and there was a man looking at fishing line. Well in no time at all we were off and running talking about walleye. He was in his seventies and I am sixty so there was a few tales spun out in a short time. He has fished for decades from up north to the Kawarthas and over to to the Bay of Quinte. After seeing my walleye and crappie pictures, he was very interested in trying a new way to catch walleye with a slip bobber, 1/4 ounce jig head and a Joker bait. So I picked out some pink jig heads and a package of Pink and yellow Jokers. A slip bobber and rubber bobber stoppers and beads. Then explained how to use that set up and he was already excited to try it. Point of this story is even us old guys that have fished all our lives can learn something new. None of us will ever know it all and we can all pick something up from a detailed fishing post or a well done fishing video. That's why I joined the Fishing Forum, I really liked the way that many members try and help out wherever they can. Haven't fished for salmon or trout since being a child. Big water like Georgian bay or the other great lakes may not be my destination for fishing anymore. But I sure do enjoy reading the stories of the members fishing all over our Ontario waters. Keep up the good work. Some of us old guys are watching, reading or listening to you kids. New ideas or old ideas redefined. Young anglers or senior anglers, there is a lot of water out there and every experience is an adventure. God forbid, if my fishing ever stops. But if it ever does, a good fishing story or video will be my medicine.

Thats what its all about! The constant pursuit for perfection that can never be attained! The reason I love it so much is because I am CONSTANTLY learning something new, I will never in my lifetime know everything there is to know about one species of fish let alone the many different ones available to us here, no one ever will. But sharing things that are very often either overlooked or things that gave me the “lightbulb moment” at some point in time is what I try and showcase with these videos, I try and show/talk about things that I had to learn the hard way, things that arent shown much on social media, hopefully making it easier for anglers to connect those dots. I too have been lurking this forum for many years before ever making my first post and have learnt a ton of stuff from many different people here, I wont ever turn down an opportunity to learn something new no matter what species! I will have to make a slip bobber video some time, I like to stick to casting since feeling the bite is just way too addicting for me, but sniping fish with a slip bobber sure seems like it would be alot of fun!

Well said. You are absolutely right on the casting. When an angler is retrieving a cast and feels the fish strike, it does become addicting. We all can't wait for that next hit, our reaction is the rush. At night fishing with a bobber, it seems like the angler is now stocking the fish. A subtle opposite occurs in the dark. The bait leads the walleye or crappie on, with a slow and steady pace. The fish in turn follows the bait slowly, thinking it has an easy unsuspecting victim. The fish takes the bait, and it is now the angler that actually does the striking. Bobber goes down, glow stick vanishes in an instant. WHAM!! You strike the fish, and set the hook. They never know what hit them, and they almost never ever come off the hook.

Yup, you just never know what is lurking beneath the surface of the lake, in the shallows at night. Hiding out of sight, camouflaged by the thick weed beds. Walleye? Crappie? Muskie?

Loved the video.

Great explanation of using your sonar correctly.

I did have to laugh though when you said “it’s simple”. First thing I though of is it’s not simple for me to buy a $4500.00 live scope.
Although I sure wish I had one.

Thank you for the great watch.
