| WALLEYE |
Spring and fall in Wisconsin means walleyes in
the boat livewell. In the La Crosse / Onalaska
area, walleyes are also a year round fish that
can be caught in deep or shallow water, on the
bottom, suspended or even on topwater !
You don't have to travel to Canada to bag a
bunch of mouth watering Walleye or catch that
wall mounter of 10 pounds. Tactics to bag the
glassy eyed predator are varied to
accommodate weather and river conditions.
Early spring is best for vertical jigging hair jigs,
drop shot live bait, and blade lures. Some of
the best colors are white, silver, purple, blue
and combos thereof. As the nights warm, then
chartreuse, orange and yellow increase
catches.
As the seasons move on, drifting and trolling
hard body lures like jointed Shad Raps in
backwater sloughs is a great method for taking
'eyes. Live bait rigs vary from using minnows,
willow cats, nightcrawlers and leeches.
Attacking wing dams along the main channel
casting with crankbaits can bring up good
walleyes and saugers as well. Flipping 4" ring
worms in snags along undercut banks and
branches will produce during many conditions.
When the hot weather and low water
conditions hit, then our guides pull out secret
techniques that you probably have never seen
before ... but they work! No, explosives are not
involved.
And, if conditions are right, it may be the first
time you have caught walleyes on topwater
pop-r's! Later in the evening, just after dusk,
tossing into the rocky shallows ... and ... BAM!
It's not a bass, it's a walleye. How wild is that?
Mr. Marble eyes is waiting for you!
