Default Big fish



Man I love northern walleye fishing,, this year I found out or waters down
here are full of the southern walleye,( look just like the northern
version , but don't get as big ) they are rarely caught because no one
knows how to fish for them in this hot water. I have got to figure out how
to do this,, no one here to teach me, because no one targets them, most
fishermen don't even know they are in the water


They like to feed at night or in deep water. At dark they will move into
the rivers to feed from larger lakes, and will move up on to the shallow
flats. Early morning, fish live bait at the base of a drop-off at 12-15
feet. As the day progresses, troll sinking rapalas over sandy bottom at
15-25 feet, or float live bait in the dark under the bridges on the river.

They like a swift current. A dark deep run on an overcast day will hold
walleyes. They will sometimes stack up below the dams in the spring.
Anchor and cast live bait, but the crappies, white bass and gar will
interrupt your walleye fishing.

If you have a topo map of that water, we can tell you where to look.
