Like to fish under lights at night for Walleye, the lights bring the shad in and they begin to circle the light, Walleye will at times swim with them and other times stay outside the circle and pick them off. What would be a good lure to cast outside the circle of shad to catch them with?

Dan, My son and I are going walleye fishing the first week of September. We live in the Twin Cities, but want to go to what you consider to be one of the top walleye lakes for that time of year. We want to stay in Minnesota, but location within the state is not all that important. Also, if I want to go towards the BWCA, what lake is attractive that time of year? Last, what is the best bait or lure for walleyes in September? Thanks Bob

I love to fish. I previously fished with my ex-boyfriend and relied on him to set up my line, tell me what bait to use and so on. Now I’m on my own and have no clue how to set up a line to jig, use spinners or crawler harnesses. I would love to be able to go out fishing again but need some assistance in how to set up my rod. Are there any books out there with illustrations on how to do this? Please help me!

Dan - I just found this site and already feel more confident in my next fishing outing. Thanks for providing this educational service. Overview: I am primarily a bank fisherman. I fish the Missouri river at varying locations from Yankton, SD below the Dam to the channeled portion in the Sioux City area. I primarily use bottom rigs either an egg sinker, drop sinker or three way rig. I have been using 2 or 3oz sinkers to get the bait down and hold in the current. I’ve been varying the size of hooks and fish with night crawlers. I am planning to fish this weekend and try minnows. This generally yields species like carp, drum, skipjack and a rare catfish. Question: I want to expand on the species I am catching. In particular I would like to catch walleye. I know below the damn in Yankton, SD on the Missouri river they do catch walleye. I have seen boats not that far from the bank drifting and trolling yielding fish. It appears they are using different jigs with rubber worm bodies or tipped with minnows and rigs with minnows or crawler harnesses. I’ve seen a lot of different colors in these combinations used. Can these techniques be done from the bank successfully as you are stationary and not able to drift? Is there a technique that is better utilized from the bank? One issue I seem to worry about all the time is how much wieght should I use? The rivers current seems to be very strong and anything under 2oz does not seem to stay. Again thanks for providing this website, it is very educational and I plan on visiting often to improve my chances! Best Regards from a confused bank fisherman…

Me and my brothers are experienced walleye fisherman. We fish the Alleghany river in western PA.

We’ve tried small to large chubs, suckers, shiners and lures, and we catch most at dusk. How do we consistently catch legal walleyes (15-20in.) to eat?
