THE SETUP: GEARING UP FOR SUCCESS
Dumke introduces his setup. He stresses the importance of selecting the right jerkbait to match the conditions—clear water and active fish. His gear choice, including rods and reels, is tailored to improve the jerkbait's performance.

HOW TO FISH JERKBAITS FOR WALLEYES
Dumke provides a step-by-step guide on how to fish jerkbaits effectively as the tutorial unfolds. He focuses on the nuances of movement—how to twitch and pause the bait to mimic vulnerable prey. This section is rich with tips on adjusting the jerkbait's action based on the observed behavior of walleye, which he tracks using forward-facing sonar (Humminbird MEGA Live).

LOCATING AND TARGETING WALLEYE
The video's core explores how to locate and target walleye on expansive flats using mapping as a guide. Dumke discusses how walleye position relative to structure, starting with the post-spawn and progressing into the summer months. Mapping gets him to good-looking zones, 360 sonar shows him what's on the bottom, and forward-facing sonar finds the fish!

REAL-TIME FISHING ACTION
Viewers get a front-row seat to real-time fishing action, where Dumke applies his techniques to attract and catch walleye. Each catch provides insights into the effectiveness of Dumke's methods and the behavioral patterns of walleyes. Throughout the tutorial, Dumke emphasizes adaptability—adjusting his approach based on the walleye's response to the jerkbait.

I guess I am not sophisticated enough to know the difference of fishing jerk baits for bass vs. Walleye. Isn't it a difference in location more than technique?
