Catching Walleye?

[mattholder]

What do you look for to find good Walleye spots? What methods are good to catch them around the Lake? Thanks!

Oh my goodness, what flattery.

Matt, what I know I learned by reading posts of others and trying things. I tried to put large amounts of that in the articles the others have linked.

For a right now tidbit, I saw pictures this week of fish caught on a jigged spoon on the bottom in 50 feet of water. Next Saturday I am fishing on Beaver with tanderson and I will report. BS, Beaver, and TR are rarely that different.

Good luck.

p.s. walleye dudes include tanderson, feathers and fins, kjackson, powerdive, and mikeworley

Thanks for the help! I have always wanted to learn walleyes but for now I just catch them by mistake on bass tackle!

May till October, I fish the edges of extended flats on inside bends (what Babler calls "runouts"). (Also humps if you can find them.) Concentrate especially hard on the underwater points where ditches running through the flats meet open water. I prefer trolling cranks on braid and lead core, but will bottom bounce with crawlers if I have to. I would love to get on a deep spoon bite, though--it's my favorite way to fish, but I haven't tried it on Table Rock yet.

Depths: 15-17 feet in May, 18-30 feet the rest of the summer, 35-40 feet in September-October have been best for me. Know where the thermocline is, and fish those edges and points at the level that corresponds to the top 4-5 feet of the cline.
