Walleye Fishing - Cranky Old Marble Eyes

Old marble eyes, also known as the walleye, is one of the most fascinating fish in the water, and in Minnesota they are also the most sought after. The walleye is named for its pearlescent eye, which is caused by a reflective layer of pigment, called the tapetum lucidum, that helps it see and feed at night or in murky water...keep reading

Rapala Tip When you¹re working a suspending minnow plug, remember this tip from Rapala: pause after you twitch the lure. Make sure there is some slack in the line. Any tension on the line will cause the lure to continue moving toward you. You want the lure to sit motionless, at least part of the time. Watch your slack line for movement, which would indicate a strike. Courtesy of Buck

Sick of loosing slip bobber after breakoffs?
If you are sick and tired of chasing slip bobbers across the lake after you snap your line. Simply put a small split shot above your bait to act as a "stopper". If you are afraid of having the split shot corrupt the action of your bait simply use a bobber stop instead. If you want to attract attention underwater don't snip off the extra string.

Tips on keeping fresh bait
Tired of having foam leech container break apart? Re-use a 20 oz. or smaller beverage container for leeches. Just keep in the cooler with the other beverages. Remeber to take to label off to avoid surprises! Keeping a couple of small stones in the minnow bucket will sink the bucket into deeper/colder water during the warmer summer months. Just don't submerge it into the mud, as it will not have positive results.

Don't let that fish smell you - Anise your hands Every one knows that a fish can smell you on the lures you've touched. Oils from your hands do not easily wash off once the lure hits the water. Try rubbing your hands with anise seeds, which can be bought for about .50 cents in many grocery stores. This will help eliminate the scent of your hands on the lure. Courtesy of shore fisher

Move That Boat and Don't Sit So Long Don't sit to long! What I mean is--if you are not getting fish in the boat within a few minutes of finding them or checking out a new area then fire up that over priced boat your sitting in and move to a new location immediately. Covering water and finding active fish fast! produces results Good Luck, Capt. Josh. Courtesy of Captain Josh Hagemeister

Don't be fooled, walleyes are aggressive fish
Forget what you have learned. Remember this--sunlight or clear water, they like to eat insects, more walleyes survive on mud and weeds than rock, they can be found anywhere in the water column, time of day has nothing to do with success, the walleye was originally a river fish and stocked in lakes, and they do not "tap" when they bite. In other words, a walleye is a northern pike without the slime, Good Luck, Capt. Josh
