Dan,
I would ask that you be sure to tell people to check the STATE laws for where they are fishing. Using walleye or any other spiny backed fish will land you a hefty fine here in maine! DO NOT try this for pike or any other predator fish in maine waters!

Comment on I live close to the Columbia River. Is there good walleye fishing there and where? by michael johnson

dan, i live in drayton, n.dak. i fish the red river for walleyes. the water is very muddy in the summer months but clears up some in the fall and winter. in the fall beginning about oct. 1 the wallleyes seem to begin to congregate at the mouths of tributary rivers flowing into the red. i have caught lots of nice walleyes at these river mouths in the fall and through the ice. but in the summer the walleyes seem to scatter. ive tried pulling cranks in the summer but havent been able to figure out what the walleyes do in the summer months. do they go to the deeper holes(20 ft). there is also a large channel catfish population. ive thought of using planers and pulling shallow stickbaits away from the boat and near shore. lots of big walleyes in this river but im stumped on how to catch them in the summer.

“This is one of the best times to be fishing for walleye in Cleveland; in fact it’s probably the best location this side of the Rockies”

No that would be the Maumee or Sandusky River or out in west Lake Erie is the best walleye fishing east of the Mississippi.

Comment on When do Walleye’s spawn? (And where can I find them?) by Larry Johnson

Hi Dan, I live in a NW Georgia town called Dalton. We have a nearby Corp of Engineer lake called Carters Lake. This lake is fed by a medium sized river. The lake is approximately 40 yrs. old and was stocked with Walleye about 10 years ago. I know that there are plenty of walleye in this very deep lake, however, people around here don’t know how to fish for them, including myself. Could you give me some tips on how to locate and catch these fish in the spring time. Thanks, Larry Johnson

Dan
We cannot go to Canada fishing this summer because one of our group got a dui in the last year. We have been going to Lake Wabagoon for several years. Is there an area in far northern Minnisota that can match the action of Wabagoon?
thanks

Comment on What techniques are best for post spawn walleye fishing on the Mississippi River near Dubuque, Iowa. Are there any areas better than others? by Ben

Ben — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 05:33:52 +0000

Other options for fishing post spawn fish on the Mississippi are to troll or cast crank baits in the same areas mentioned above. 6-8A bombers and Rapala JSR 5′s or 7′s seem to do the trick. The best time to do this is when the water is down and most of the weeds have made their way down river. In addition to normal crank baits, many people around here troll double rapalas on the flats (also by the bull nose) in the spring and fall. The way you do this is with a three way swivel and a 2-12 oz drop weight tied on one side and a F9, F11, or F13 tied to about 2-3 feet of line on the other side. A second straight stick rapala of similar size is tied with about another 2-3 feet of line to the back eye of the first rapala (not the split ring). This set up is then trolled at slow speeds (in between 1 – 2 mph). The only thing is to make sure you tie good knots and use lighter line on your drop weight in case you get a snag. Weights are pretty cheap, but losing the entire setup can get pretty costly.
