How To Catch A Walleye
There are many ways to catch a walleye.
This article will focus on the tactics used that capitalize on the most common
behaviors of walleye across many different types of water.
There are many different tactics to use
for walleye such as Jigging, Trolling, casting, drifting, live bait rigging and
even handlining. All of these tactics work well in different bodies of water
and under different conditions.
First off, you need to know that your
body of water has walleye and then you need to know where the walleye are at.
Walleye are aggressive opportunistic feeders that generally feed at night or in
low light conditions. They also tend to feed in schools and in pods with other
walleye of the same size.
Walleye like structure, but are prone to
roam and exhibit nomadic behavior often while in search of food. It is not
uncommon to find walleye in the middle of a reservoir at the thermocline with
no structure around, this would probably mean they are focussing on the
baitfish of the moment. Try to always find out what the walleye are eating and
then try to match your lure and presentation to the food they are chasing.
In the spring, if you find out where
walleye spawn such as in rivers with good oxygen flow that have rocky bottoms
and gravel or on reefs or on rock formations in 4-15 ft of water in lakes, you
will find hungry walleye.
