When fishing in the deeper waters during the day, the shiners are going to be the best bet when used along with a bottom bouncer/walker.  The lure is going to keep the bait off the floor of the lake when trolling.  Some may even want to add a spinner in order to get the walleye more interested in the bait.  Make sure you are using large enough shiners to get the larger walleye and use a light line so that the walleye can not see it.  While some anglers who go for walleye prefer to use the many lures that are available for them, the old timers who know how to get walleye out of Greenwood Lake always use live minnows.

3.      Rainy Days – Do not let the rain stop you from going out for a day of walleye fishing.  While other fish may be taking a nap during the rain, the walleye are going to be feeding.  They really hate bright light and stay deeper in the water when the sun is at its peak.  Fishing when it is raining is going to offer a bounty of walleye.  While all the other anglers are going to be at home, you can practically have the lake to yourself when it is raining.  While all the bass fishermen are at home warm and cozy, you are going to be on the lake bringing in some really large walleye.  Overcast days are just as good as rainy days so make sure that you do not miss those days either.  The fishing on Greenwood Lake is best when the fish are not hiding from the sun.

Those who want to be successful when fishing for walleye on Greenwood Lake should keep the above tips in mind.  Use the right equipment for the time of day so that the fish can be hooked.  Make sure to use live bait no matter what depth is being fished.  Live bait can be used along with lures but lures should never be used without live bait.  Fish when the fish are feeding.  The early morning, dusk, over cast or rainy days are the best time to get the walleye out of Greenwood Lake.
