Mike Frisch's quick tip: Old school walleyes

Mike Frisch says traditional techniques still catch walleyes despite Forward Facing Sonar's popularity, emphasizing that anglers need not spend heavily on expensive technology upgrades.
Forward Facing Sonar has revolutionized walleye fishing by allowing anglers to see fish in real time and cast at targets, replacing traditional live bait rigging and crankbait trolling for many users.
On a recent trip, Frisch utilized "old school" tactics like pulling bottom bouncers and nightcrawlers when clients struggled with casting, and he found success using leadcore trolling rods on scattered fish.
These experiences reinforced Frisch's belief in traditional methods, noting that while FFS works wonders, preferences for older techniques remain an effective way to catch walleyes.
Frisch hosts the popular Fishing the Midwest series on the Sportsman Channel and World Fishing Network, with viewers able to visit the website to learn more about these strategies.
