Light penetration and oxygen is deeper, therefore fish are usually are found deeper and fish feed more toward morning and evening or even at night. Make sure you don't fish too shallow, walleyes sulking in the crevices won't move far for fast moving bait. Walleyes will make extensive use of weed clumps if they're available, and often the fish that are in the weeds are looking for a meal, making them susceptible to any type of offering. If I hook a fish on an inside turn, I quickly throw out a Lindy marker buoy and as soon as I am done landing that fish I will move right back to that spot. We knew from past experience that by this time of year massive bait schools break up and walleyes head for specific structural elements that funnel scattered, roaming forage past specific spots. If they’re tight to the bottom or slightly into weed cover and hard to see, weave your rigs along the drop-off or weed line, paying particular attention to irregularities that may concentrate fish, points, turns, and changes in weed growth. read more
