Normal Sept Walleye Pattern


Big Keene

Recommended Posts

it seems that this year has been anything but normal, but on a normal year what would the pattern be for walleye in early september? what about crappie? i am going to try to get down for a weekend in the beginning of september, and would like to try to get a mess of 'eyes or crappie for the fryer. thanks in advance for any advice.

ps. i am thinking we will be fishing out of the State Park area.

thanks all

I would look for some deeper drop offs or banks close to long points or flats. My guess the good ole nightcralwer will be hard to beat.

On Stockton, I prefer to troll cranks from mid August thru September. Flat edges and larger mainlake points, 18 to 25 feet. Mostly running shad-type cranks on leadcore a foot or two off bottom, or longlining deep divers and aggressively pounding the bottom. Seems to bring the larger fish out to play at that time of year. :)

Of course, if the lake's 10 feet high (that never happens this time of year), that probably changes everything. Think I'd move up and troll the brushline........
