Walleye on Pitchin’ Puppets (Lake Diefenbaker): Casting Pitching Puppets to catch midsummer walleye on Saskatchewan’s Lake Diefenbaler. Glide baits like the Pitching Puppet become deadly for catching walleye through the summer and fall as fish start to position higher in the water column. We cruise through wind blown points with Active Target to find fish and throw a combination of glide baits and follow up with a jig and leech or jig and half crawler to pick off fish. Fishing with Arden Pierce from South Saskatchewan Fishing Adventures. Diefenbaker is a massive reservoir renown for walleye fishing. Classic reservoir patterns where fish setup on points and structure that is adjacent to the old river channel. This long reservoir has endless structure and is one of Canada’s very best drive-to walleye fisheries. We break down how to find and locate reservoir walleye and also share details for how to catch more walleye with glide baits.
Shop: Pitchin’ Puppet | Puppet Minnow
For years anglers have been using vertical jigging lures like the Northland Puppet Minnow® as casting lures with great success. Finally, they have a tool designed just for the job. The Pitchin’ Puppet features a lead frame with an over-molded resin exterior & fin giving this lure the lifelike look of a translucent baitfish in addition to extreme durability. When jigged, snapped, and ripped this lure darts and rolls triggering strikes. A wide gap rear hook and the absence of a front hook make this lure perfect for darting across the bottom, and the split ring connected treble hook will keep fish pinned all the way back to the boat!
The New Pitchin’ Puppet from Northland® Fishing Tackle is the real deal for snap-jigging Walleyes. Designed to be cast and retrieved the Pitchin’ Puppet features no front hook, a wide gap rear hook, and a treble that sits on a split ring to keep it away from the body to prevent tangling. Constructed using a hybrid lead resin body this lure has translucent finishes that look like a real baitfish all while being super durable compared to its historic counterparts
