So if thats what Im limited to, then I want to find out how to at least do it right. Thanks for the reply.
I'm by no means a Walleye guy but I've been around enough of them at the big C to know a little. This time of year alot of the fellows fish with the bottom bouncing rigs baited with night crawlers. Google it and you'll see the type of rig. Some guys use leadheads with bright colored grubs also bottom bounced fairly deep. Another method is to troll or downrig crankbaits. You have to get them deep and this can be done day or at night. This is what most do this time of year, I'ts not much for ya, but it's a start. If your buddy has fished Cumberland very long I'm sure he knows of these tactics. Many of the local guides will answer questions concerning the eyes also, give'em a call and they will give you some ideas as well. The reason that other post took a funny turn was SSKY, God bless him gets on here about every other week and asks where are the Walleye. or what happened to the Rockcastle strain, lol. It's kinda become a standing joke here on the site.
