The fish s popularity stems far back in history to days when prized meat meant the definition of immediate happiness. Currently the challenge of hooking the elusive game fish with favorite lures and friends, teamed with gastronomic intentions explains much of the general pursuit of walleye. Catching fish - Early September marks a transition period when walleyes instinctively gear up for approaching winter. Seasons past indicates the transition of walleye from mid season deep flats to the deep and steep points of the Lower St. Croix. All but rookie anglers know points are classic fishing areas.
Points come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are gradual tapered while others are stubby and drop off sharp. Generally the relatively larger and gradually tapering points hold most fish of all species early in the year. In lakes, long tapering points have much more shallow weed covered bottom. The weeds produce the snacks and munchies that baitfish love. For some reason or the other, Fall marks a period where the steepest drop offs produce walleye at a better rate than the gradual bottoms.
