Hey guys, Don't fish them often but find myself missing more hook sets on walleyes than every other fish I fish for.. Live in Ct so walleyes don't get huge here 18"-26" avg fish mostly, small inland lakes. I fish with 3" shiners on tipups (heritage lakers) with a single #4 gama hook at night. When you get to the tip up what do you do? I'm always afraid the fish can feel the spool. Would I better with polar tip ups?
- If the spool is moving slowly should I not touch anything till he stops and starts again?
- If the spool is not moving at all?
- If the spool is peeling line out about 20 MPH?
-When do you lift up the tip up?
