The fall period can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but if you’re a walleye angler it’s simply your best shot for nailing a real trophy. If you’re serious about finding and catching big walleyes you absolutely have to put the boat back in the water (or throw the waders on) at least one more time. There are too many big fish to be had and there’s no good reason for letting a golden opportunity like this slip by.

| Walleye in Full Bloom
Jason Mitchell | Aug 2, 2005 2:43PM
Algae blooms are a reality during the dog days of summer. Unsightly and unpleasant, many anglers pack their bags once the water warms up and turns green. The truth is however some of the best fishing of the year takes place under such conditions. Two patterns unfold for us each year during algae blooms and both these patterns involve using crankbaits to catch some of the biggest walleye we see each year.

| Fall Walleyes Start the Feeding Frenzy
John Campbell | Aug 2, 2005 10:19AM
As predator fish begin their fall feeding habits, their focus centers on large forage. Young of the year perch, cisco, river shiners and chubs,
along with other forage, such as frogs, crawfish and even their own off-spring will be targeted. Successful trophy hunters will match the
hatch, almost scientifically, at this time of year.

| Beating the Heat for Big Summer Walleyes
Rick Olson | Jul 28, 2005 8:00PM
Scorching daytime temperatures and a mile high sun doesn't exactly sound like ideal conditions for catching numbers of big walleyes but it can be done, especially if you know where to look. To be successful anglers will have to give up on what had been productive just a few short weeks ago and get with a program more in tune with a walleye’s present needs.

| Slip Bobbering Walleye
Ted Takasaki & Scott Richardson | Jul 1, 2005 6:07PM
Fall is big fish time, and while others resort to big jigs to catch them, Northwoods guide Greg Bohn sticks with the same tactic he uses all spring and summer long. There’s a reason he’s called “Mr. Slip Bobber ™.”

| Walleye in the Summer
Jim Campbell | Jun 29, 2005 10:08PM
Livebait rigging or jigging the edges of prominent midlake structure captures the essence of fishing walleyes in lakes throughout the Midwest. Fish like an edge. Fish are not randomly scattered through any body of water, be it a pond, lake, large reservoir, stream, river, ocean, bay or slough.

When the going gets tough, monofilament, weight and plain hook with good lively bait will always catch fish. Lindy Rigs were catching fish thirty years ago and will continue to catch fish another thirty years from now.

| Making ‘Eye Contact this Spring 
John Campbell | Mar 30, 2005 2:58PM
Shortly after ice-out, male walleyes in the 1 to 3 pound range will move into shallow spawning areas. The best spawning sites are large sloping shallow bars with a bottom composition of gravel. The aggressive male walleyes will hold over these areas for a month or more and feed aggressively during, before and after spawning.

| Fishing Weedlines Well
Mark Strand | Mar 27, 2005 6:58AM
Many, many predator fish are ‘ambush feeders,’ meaning that they choose to sit, making little movement to betray their presence, along some kind of edge where prey often moves by and can be pounced upon.

The overall winner and undisputed champion is none other than Lake Erie and it still retains the “Best Fishery in the World” title. Even though things have changed and loading the boat with giant eye popping walleyes isn’t as easy as it used to be it’s still good, real good.
