Walleye fishing?
Posted on Sep 14, 2009 under Walleye Fishing | 5 CommentsCan I catch walleye from the bank of a river or lake? What will work to catch them?
I fish bass and trout, but never tried walleye.
We’ve fished from the banks quite a bit here in northern Wi. Usually we’re on a river, or right near where a river empties into a lake. Our best success has been with 1/8 to 1/4 oz jig heads, a plastic "twister tail" grub, and then tipped with a med sized fathead minnow. We bump or drag these very slowly along the bottom for the best results. Walleye can be very picky on the color they want on any given day so make sure you have a variety in your jig heads and plastic bodies. Good luck on the water.

Try using night crawlers (worms) in the eddies and deep holes from the banks of the river. Go upstream and drift the worm downstream into the eddies and deep spots. They don’t strike very hard, so pay attention. Good Luck!

If you want Walleye you HAVE to come to the great lakes. The best walleye are in lake Erie. Yes they like the cold water and are the best to catch trolling in a boat. Good eating also!
