I love walleye fishing; I love to catch 'em, clean 'em, and eat 'em. There's nothing better than pulling up to the landing knowing that the live well is full, and the skillet will be poppin' with grease later in the afternoon or evening.
If you have ever had trouble catching large amounts of walleye; or at least enough to make a walleye fish fry worth while, that is going to change. I am the walleye hunter, and I'm going to share with you 20 of my best walleye fishing tips and tactics that will help you fill your live well and serve a feast!
* The best time to hunt for walleyes is in early spring through mid summer; July.
* Use a six foot rod with a sensitive tip to feel your jig, and enough backbone to set the hook.
* Use six pound test fishing line when using a jig-and-minnow combo.
* Use dark colored jigs in light water.
* Use light colored jigs in dark water.
* Find the current, walleyes love current.
* Always start deep and move shallow.
* Main river channels with current are great producers.
* Early in the season, before the water warms and the bait fish are numerous, use a jig and minnow combo.
* Find a drop off where the current flows right over a rocky point; the walleyes hold in this spot with their noses right where the current brings them food.
* If they aren’t biting where you are, find a spot with an increase in current, rocks and deep water.
* The faster the current from the narrowing of the river the better.
* When water current conditions are more meandering, locate the drop off from the main river channel, and fish your way up to the bay as evening approaches.
* When trolling a river stick to the shady side.
* Walleyes move shallower as night approaches.
* When fishing the bays in the early evening hours, a floating Rapala is your best bet.
* When water temperatures become warmer and the weeds begin to emerge use a floating Rapala.
* Don’t be afraid to try the weeds on hot, sunny days.
* The best location in a lake where current is not a factor consists of a shallow flat different than the surrounding shoreline, rocks, downed trees and fish cribs.
* Fish the wind blown shoreline when on a lake.
There you have it, 20 walleye fishing tips and tactics from a fisherman who fills the livewell and feeds his family whenever their bellies are hungry for walleye. Good luck to you!
