It wasn't long before he was making trips to Leech solely to fish weeds for autumn walleyes. Long after other anglers moved deeper to locate fish, he plucks walleye after walleye from coontails and cabbage in the shallows. In late August and September seek out the weed beds, which comprise of living green plants with pockets and channels where walleyes wait for prey. If weed growth is too thick, you won't be able to fish effectively. If too sparse, the bed won't hold anything but small fish or none at all.
Green beds seem better than a mix of living plants and dying, brown ones.
Add a leech hooked through the sucker. Use 4 or 6 pound line on a medium to medium-light spinning rod. The lighter line is more sensitive and transmits what is going on below the boat better. Work the jig by casting along the weed edge. Try different speeds, too, until the fish signal what they want.
