I wanna catch some walleyes.

[top_dollar]

               My brother and I are headed down this weekend to try and catch a few walleyes.  Has anybody been targeting them recently?  My guess is that it will be tough?  We are giving it a shot no matter what, at least the weather is supposed to be nice.

Now is one of the best times to go.

Bottom bouncers are the go-to for most. I prefer cranks or jig and crawler.

what depth would you start at? or do you watch the graph for an idea of where they are holding at?

This time of year, unless you fish at dusk or dawn, I suggest you fish just above the thermocline. Walleye stay close to the bottom or suspended  in trees. Finding them with sonar rarely happens.

16-20ft is a pretty safe bet.

Had a trip yesterday.  We caught 24. 6 of them keepers. Using jigging raps. 14 to 22 ft. Moving around till you saw them on the graph. Usually on the bottom to just above.  Drop down on them rip up let fall to bottom. Rip up again till one time you lift and there he is.

But bottom bouncing with harnesses or jig and crawler. Should work also. I have also heard trolling cranks has been working.

Good for you. It is vertical jigging time, although I tend to use spoons. I am surprised at the depth you had success. From mid August through to October, I never could find them anywhere but near the thermocline or suspended in timber.

Did you ever try a Silver buddy?

Canadian guide I fished with loved to vertical jig a pink fluke on a white or chartreuse ball head jig.
