Time of day can plays an important part in solving where the fish are. Some spots turn on at different times of the day. You can fish over a huge school of inactive walleyes and never get a hit, then come back two hours later and find that they're going nuts. Always double check a good-looking area. If you keep checking these locations eventually you will find active walleyes on one of them.
Many anglers think of rocks, sand, drop-offs, and deep water when walleye fishing.
But walleye chasers are missing some good fishing ifthey aren t poking around in the weeds when they re after walleyes,especially the fall months. Walleyes will make extensive use of weed clumps if they re available, and often the fish that are in the weeds are looking for a meal, making them susceptible to any type of offering. Coontail will hold a few fish, and on some lakes will be pretty good. But my favorite vegetation, day in and day out, will be cabbage weed. Cabbage is abundant on many bodies of water, and will also be the feeding grounds for bass, northerns, muskies and panfish.
