Rattlin' Rogue : Walleye spring fishing
Learn the spawning habits of the walleyes, and locate those areas, principally reefs, on maps. Males will be stacked on the reefs waiting for females to arrive. The places you’ll want to focus on are the deeper-water areas nearby where females stage before moving to the reefs and where they return afterward. Identify several likely spots. Walleyes are nomads. Plan to stay mobile when fishing for walleye. Once on the water, always look for bait fish on your sonar. No bait fish, no line out!

Another best walleye lure :: Storm Thin Fin


I've been using the Storm Thin for several years. As far as I could remember, I've been using this walleye lure for over 15 years. Over all those years, I 've found that the orange one has been providing the best fishing results. It's a great walleye lure to troll early in the spring while the walleyes are in shallow waters. Later in the summer, I would add some weight on the line to bring the Storm Thin fin even deeper, below the 15 feet. One of my best fishing friend is also using the orange Thin Fin with downrigger. At one time last summer, I've used the same Thin Fin for an entire week-end on a walleye fishing trip. The Storm Thin Fin is not that easy to find in store. I travel a lot in North America and there are very limited fishing shops where you could find this excellent walleye lure. I have no problem to find this lure in Canada, if you can't find it, drop me a comment on this post and I will see if I could help!

I like to call the Reef Runner my universal walleye fishing lure. This is a great lure to cast in shallow water but my best usage is for trolling for walleye. It's my favorite walleye lure that I will troll right behind the boat, within the next 20 feet behind the boat. Beleive me, you will be amaze to see how many trophy walleyes you will catch right behind the boat. Don't be surprise if you catch good size pike, musky and even lakers with this incredible walleye lure.
