The best time in March to catch some walleye is when the water temperature is right. Spawning takes place in water temperatures between forty-two and fifty-four degrees. You would use a crankbait and a minnow or night crawler for this type of walleye fishing. If you go during spawning, you will want to find the area where the walleye spawn and watch the water temperature. If the water temperature is right and you find the right area is by the mouth of the river or in shallow waters. The third week of March may be just right with the way to the weather has been this winter. This of course is going to depend on where you are going. Different areas are going to see different times for walleye fishing, especially for spawning. If you use a crankbait and a minnow, you are going to find yourself catching some walleyes. If you know the area where you are going, it is best to check the local weather and water temperatures for that specific area. You can should many different areas, but find one that will have a good walleye movement. Since you are choosing March, you are going to fish in rivers where the walleye are heading for the spawn. In some places, it is easy to fish from shore rather than a boat. Take some time to study a local map of the river to find out where the weed beds are as well as the underground rock formations. That is the area to target fro catching the walleye on their way to spawn.
