Angling Tips for Walleye Fishing There are many techniques to catch walleye when angling for them. Location and mood dictate presentation. Deep fish and usually negative fish generally want live bait (minnow, leech, or crawler) on a jig, slip bobber, or rig fished slow, anchored or drifting. The shallower the walleye, usually the more aggressive. A better choice for contacting more walleye when they are more aggressive are drifting or trolling jigs, bottom bouncers with spinners or rigs, and crankbaits. Fishing weed beds can also be effective. Casting to the weed edge with crankbaits and plastics or troll contouring the edge at varying depths can contact feeding fish. Casting to shore, rock piles, and across points with jigs, plastics, and crankbaits work well also when the fish are aggressive. Need Help Planning Your Trip? Find out more See more fishing photos
