I'm no rookie fisherman, but walleye fishing is new to me, and I'm pulling my damn hair out trying to connect with these things.

Best advice I ever got was to stop “buying into the bullshit.” You don’t need $15 lures in 17 different clown ass colors. Walleye have amazing eyesight, and they’re built for hunting in twilight / lowlight. Match the hatch. Give them a bait that looks exactly like what they’re eating. Trust me, they can see it without the paint job looking like a glow stick rave. They are finicky and weary of things that don’t look natural to them. Best of luck, homie 🤙

Very similar to how I fish here in Arkansas. I just drag and pause and usually the slower the better. Last year was a real no pattern pattern. Everything work a little but nothing constantly produced like previous years. Usually white swimbaits or a blk/gold Rapala killed but thats fishing. Still caught a freezers worth of 24 inch males. Good luck out there

Thanks for the comment! It’s a versatile method that can be used with many different baits and many fish species.

Good tactic, that or Flickr shad are killer this time of year for walleye. On the flicker you’ll pick up a crappie or two as well.

Is it bad if I use a swivel clip on my line for quick lure changes?
@AnglerX
6 ай бұрын
For jigs I like to tie direct. If I’m using a blade bait a snap is good to help the action of the lure. Honestly I don’t think the swivel clip is hurting your chances. If it was really clear water it may play a role but not in the Mississippi River.

What weights do you use for your jig head? I was thinking 1/4oz would be good and a 3 inch swim bait. Never gone walleye fishing so im not sure if this setup is ideal. A buddy of mine thought I should up the size of the swim bait for a larger presentation.
@AnglerX

I generally use 1/4-3/8oz. The size of the plastic, current and depth can effect how heavy of a jig you need. Try different combinations and see what works.

I do catch a fair amount of trees. The idea is to not drag it on the bottom. Instead hop it up and keep it 1-2 feet above the bottom. That will help reduce the hang ups. Also, using a jig with a lighter gauge hook allows you to pull it free when it snags a tree.
