I have found out throughout the years that it is very important to construct a plan before you arrive at your location of your next walleye fishing trip Especially if you plan to fish walleye live baits in the summer. Here are a few suggestions that I always use on all my fishing trips.
#1 Pick up a topographical map of the area you plan to fish.
Identify on the map all the weed bed areas. Next circle any weed bed areas that have a significant depth drop off of more than 3 feet , adjacent to the weed bed area. These areas can be walleye fishing sweet spots with the right weather conditions.
#2 Contact a local bait shop.
Do some research and find a local bait dealer or fishing chat room that is local to the area you are going to be fishing. I am surprised how many people forget this important pre-planning walleye fishing tip. Find out what are the most used and most effective live baits. Make sure you ask specific questions for the time of the year you plan to fish these local areas.
#3 Attach shinny spinner blades and rattles to your live bait walleye fishing rigs.
No matter what water I am fishing I have had very good luck using flashing spinner blades and small rattles attached right above my walleye baits about 6 to 12 inches.
# 4 Suggested live baits for walleye fishing:
As a rule of thumb, the norm suggested live bait for summer walleye fishing is either night crawlers or ribbon leaches. Your conversation on a local fishing chat room or from a local bait dealer may change the norm. They may know some specific tips to fish the local area that may be different from the norm. In the spring the norm usually is walleye minnows. Depending on the time you plan to fish the area minnows that are caught from the local waters still may be a viable live bait option in the summer months also.
#5 Weather conditions:
5a When you get out on the water and the sun is heavy, and there is no wave action head for the weed beds. Go deep into the weed beds to find open pockets. You still need to be quiet as you approach so use a paddle or you can use one of your boat oar as a paddle. Make sure your walleye fishing rig is spooled with at least 12 lb test line and use at least a 1/4oz jig chartreuse in color if the water is stained with a chartreuse curly tail tipped with a ribbon leach or night crawler. Vertical jig the open holes in the weed beds.
5b When there is a wave chop , regardless if it sunny out or not head to the weed bed areas you have circled that have a adjacent depth drop off. Fish these areas by back trolling or drifting with bottom bouncing live bait rigs. Vary the length of the trailing leader until you get the right combination. These areas can be walleye fishing sweet spots when there are wavy choppy water weather conditions.
