3.       Vertical Jigging - This is the best technique to use when the walleyes are spawning.  When there are many people in a boat it can be hard to troll.  Using vertical jigging can make it easier for a few people to fish out of one boat at a time.  You are going to need to use a fish finder to get to the fish.  

Once you have found a large school, you can begin the vertical jigging to bring them in.  If you do not have a fish finder, try and locate the schools of minnows or other types of bait fish that attract the walleye.
 
4.       Get fishing reports- This will prevent you from fishing blind. You will know more about the fishing area, the types and sizes of fish there and can even get some clues into what the walleye have been biting lately. This will help you succeed with your own fishing endeavors.
 
5.       Fish at Dawn or Dusk - Finally, if you really want to land a lot of walleye, you need to fish when the walleye are feeding.  The most active feeding times are when the sun is coming up or when it is going down.  Walleye do not like bright or open areas and prefer to feed when there are a good deal of shadows on the lake.  This is probably the most peaceful time for the anglers as well.  When fishing at these times of day, you are going to want to use live bait.  This is what the walleye are going to be looking for so you should use the same kind of baitfish that they are going to be feeding on.
 
Those who follow the above tips are going to find that they are landing more of the tasty walleye.  Make sure if you are fishing during the day that you stay away from the open water.  You are not going to get as many fish as when you fish during their feeding times, but you can catch a few.  Walleye are a fun fish to catch and taste really great as well.  The most important thing to remember is to have fun!
