Worm harness in fall

BWHDeseronto · **Joined:** Tue Sep 06, 2016 8:58 am **Posts:** 138

New to area I have enjoyed a good season so far, using bottom bouncers and worm harness, this past week I read an on-line article about worm harness behind planer board for open water walleye, has anybody tried this when the big girls come back to bay? I tie my own rigs, next time out should I try #4 & #5 Colorado and or willow leaf blades? various colours of beads? speed? have planer boards and snap weights, I will be using plastic/pork worms as I have no desire to feed the perch.
For the price of a deep diver crank bait, I can tie 8 such worm rigs. Newly retired so gotta save the pennies for the expensive stuff.
Any input or advise gratefully accepted.
Thanks
BH

Hay i dont but have ran them and never had any luck but a good friend uses them all the time in the fall and has good number too me it is about finding fish not getting them to bite in the fall good luck let us no !!!

If the rigs can be used in the spring, as I do, then I would think that they would work in the fall.

Remember the 50 rule... over 50 - cranks under 50 worm rigs..

I would be using when the temp is right.

I will use a number 5 Indiana blade in the fall seems to have better results in the fall and can be trolled a bit faster and will sometimes stop the non wanted fish from hitting it.....

Nope. Newbie here.
What is the rule of 50 / 50?
Thank you.

The 50 is water temperature in farenheit, cranks in warm water, worms in cold water.

I think it's the other way around... under 50 degrees crankbaits over 50 degrees worms and spinners. Although crankbaits work all year round.
