Casting Call The Surefire Cast Method to Catch Loads of Walleye By Andrew Martinsen

Here is one of many casting secrets I have learned. When casting jigs, use one of the jigs with an eye tie that comes out about a quarter-inch in front of the lure. Take half a nightcrawler and thread it onto the hook. You’ll have the most success with this method by using five pound test line. The next element is critically important. Neglect this part and you may end up without the quantity of fish you desire: When jigging, swim the jig right along the bottom, with the current. I do this all the time now & I totally destroy with it. To YOUR walleye fishing success,

The Night-time Advantage 

Rake in Walleye When Other Anglers Are Fast Asleep

Have you ever tried walleye fishing at night? here are some tactics to use next time you decide to give it a go after the sun goes down. Some walleyes will only eat when there are lowlight onditions and minimal lake disturbances. his is important, because if the water is calm you’ll have an excellent chance to CLEAN UP on walleyes at night. The walleye species is sensitive to light. However, at the same time the fish is also attracted to the shimmering of a lure that glows or is fluorescent. Out on the water, look for things that aren’t showing on a lake map such as rock formations, depth fluctuations and other abnormalities that are
not readily obvious to all anglers. Night fishing can usually be bountiful in small patches of gravel that appear close to weeds. Keep an eye out for minnow formations during the day. Usually you’ll find them near bay entrances. if they’re there during the day, the walleyes will be there for a late dinner that night.
When the weather is consistent, walleyes are very predictable. If you find them feeding at a certain time, you can be sure they’ll be there the following
night around the same time.

Try live bait with a variety of glow in the dark lures and prepare for a feeding frenzy.

Doing the Jig; Jigging for Nets Full of Walleye

 

You know, a lot of walleye fishing is in the mindset. Both YOUR mindset AND the mindset of the walleye. You see, it isn’t enough to have a well thought out
plan of action without taking into consideration the psychology of the walleye itself.
When jigging, it is so important to match the action of your jig to the current mood of the walleye. Most people will lift it, and drop it. This is an acceptable method, but if it doesn’t happen to be working it is nimportant to rotate with different jig presentations. There is a tendency of many walleye anglers to
overcompensate on their jigging. When jigging it ism best to use subtle actions at all times.

Think “effortless.”
So one motion flows naturally into the next. Next time you’re out on the lake, try dragging the jig along the bottom, popping it up and then letting it fall until it almost reaches bottom. If you’re casting into a shallow reef, let the jig fall just until it hits bottom. Then lift the tip of the rod a few inches up. Pause and leave it there for a few moments. Drop the rod tip and let the jig touch the bottom. Keep repeating this process.
Remember the action you were taking when you get your first hit. Repeat for success.

Trolling for Trophies
Why It’s Sometimes Good to be Shallow

 

In this report you’ll discover why it’s sometimes good to be shallow. An extremely effective trolling strategy is to go shallow early, and to go shallow often.
It’s against the popular notion, but that’s why it’s such a good idea to try it in the first place.
In walleye fishing, a “90-10 rule” almost always applies. 10% of the anglers have 90% of the success out on the lake. So I have learned that in order to get into the 10% range and above, it is necessary to think outside the box and do things that others aren’t doing. So try trolling shallow. Try it often.
The shallower you can be, the better. This is especially true under windy conditions. You might go in to four…three…even TWO feet of water on a windy day when the waves are tumbling into the shore.
To be sure, a lot of anglers are wary of going in that shallow. But they’re really missing out. If you can find a school of fish out in 10 feet of water near a windy shoreline, then you will likely find them right up against that shoreline too. Sure, you may hear some laughs across the water from the mediocre herd (the 90% that have 10% of the success).
But you’ll feel pretty good when you get to shore – who’ll be laughing then?
Sincerely,
Andrew Martinsen

Contour Trolling for Walleyes:
 
Why Trolling at a Consistent  Depth Can Bring You Consistent  Results
 
Contour trolling for walleye is a relatively new sensation that is getting a lot of results.
This is especially so in the warmer summer months when these fish are presented with a number of
feeding opportunities. The tactic is also recommended for cold day fishing, as well. There are some tricks
that can help make contour trolling go more smoothly though. This is not a skill that is mastered in a day.
 
Contour trolling involves presenting your bait to the walleyes at a consistent depth in the area where they
are suspended.  The goal is to keep your bait at the precise location, or contour, underwater where the
fish are present.
 
For contour trolling to work well, three key ingredients need to come into play. These are location, electronics and bait. When they mesh, the outcome of contour
trolling is generally rather impressive. Some of the best tips to make contour trolling for walleye pay off include:
 
-----------
Speed.
-----------
 The idea behind contour trolling is to present the spinner or crank baits as naturally as possible to the
fish. When these flit by at fast, but steady speeds, walleye might take an interest. If they skitter along
at the speed of a reel, the fish might not be so tempted. The notion is to make the lure really look like a fleeing feeding fish. This can help it stand out from the crowd and garner the desired attention. Many fans of contour trolling recommend speeds of about three miles an hour.
 
-----------
Finding the fish.
-----------
 Contour trolling involves finding walleye where they are and fishing the level with a crankbait or spinner. The key is staying with the fish and having the lure fall in just above them or at their level. It is vital to remember that walleyes have eyes that point toward the top of their head, so ideally bait should go right above them or directly in front of their noses. The best places to find fish in the summer months are in mid- to deeper waters. Look for areas like deep weed lines, humps and sunken islands. Follow the path and make sure to speed the lure along. Electronics can come in handy for finding schools of fish to drop a line in at and to read their level in the water. On cooler days, many find the shallows pay off quite well, especially in early spring.
 
-----------
Bait.
-----------
 This is essential for catching walleye when contour trolling. It's important to have the right bait on hand. Leaches, night crawlers and minnows can work very well in the summer. Many anglers who like crankbaiting swear by minnow lures that resemble the feeder fish in the body of water they are fishing in. Having a supply of different lures on hand to see what works the best is not a bad idea.
Fishing is a fickle, trial and error pursuit. For spring fishing, minnows are often suggested.
Contour fishing goes against the grain of walleye lore, but it is producing results. Many anglers are finding that using boards and crankbaiting while trolling can really help them land prize walleye when all else fails. While conventional wisdom calls for slow-moving reels, high-tech anglers are finding speed is the key to bagging the big ones.

 

The Hook:
How to Hook Walleye for Buckets Full of Fish
 
Walleye have two basic eating patterns. They sometimes slash like a pike will, but
mainly they inhale. It is this inhalation form of eating that can make it a challenge to hook and hold.
If something gets in the way of the inhalation, they simply stop. But of course the challenge is half the fun!
 
To improve chances of snagging a walleye, one key lies in making it easier for bait to be inhaled. There's not much that can increase the chances of getting a hook in on a slash attack from the fish, but when sucking-it-in mode is in action,....
 
-----------
Take care in choosing the line.
-----------
 
Walleye tend to be rather small in weight, so a 6-pound-test line will generally do the trick. The use of lighter line also makes it easier for the line to get "sucked" in when the walleye makes an attempt to inhale bait.
 
-----------
Bob the bait.
-----------
 
Bobbing or bouncing can help produce a bit of slack in the line, which can remove some of the resistance involved as the fish tries to inhale the bait.
 
-----------
Keep slack in the line.
-----------
 
Keeping slack allows the bait to be inhaled. If slack is lost, so too will be the bite in most cases.
 
-----------
Use shorter strokes.
-----------
 
When jigs are used, many anglers tend to stroke a little too heartily with their rods. A cleaner, short stroke
can actually help land the fish.
 
Hooking a walleye in the summer months when most seasons  are open is often best done using jigs, crankbaits or  live minnows. The evening hours are recommended, but early mornings work well, too. In the late evenings and early mornings, the shallows are the best places to go.As the sun heats things up, the walleye tends to move out to deeper waters. Try these hooking tips for buckets full of walleye next time you're out on the water.

P.S. I guarantee you’re going to have the time of your life when you find out some of the expert trolling secrets that Mr. X reveals in Walleye

The tactic of trolling crankbaits for walleye calls for using a crankbait, a lead sinker, a planer board (optional)
and a trolling motor. The idea is to send bait into the water and mimic some pretty natural fish movement under water.
 
The tactic works well in open water, along bars and islands and also along weed lines,
provided the bait doesn't get stuck.
 
The keys to success in using crankbaits while trolling include:
 
----------------------
Finding the right bait:
----------------------
 
It is critical to mimic the bait that walleye are presently feeding on. Try a variety of crankbaits
to determine which type the walleye are interested in on that particular day.
 
----------------------
Depth:
----------------------
 
This is a critical factor for bringing in a walleye.These fish have eyes on the top of their heads, so anglers have to play around with how much line is
let out for the tactic to work. The goal is to suspend the bait directly above the fish or into the middle of them. If the bait lands below, the cast is simply not going to work - at least for a walleye bite.
 
----------------------
Boat control:
----------------------
 
To really make trolling with crankbaits pay off, control is essential. What is required as far as control is concerned will depend a lot on the type
of fishing area presented. In weedy areas, the trick is to keep the trolling right on the edge of the weeds. If the bait goes out too far, bites are not likely. In more open fishing situations, the idea is to keep the trolling pattern tight on the depth of where the fish area.
 
----------------------
Boards:
----------------------
 
These specialized boards enable fishing off the sides of a boat while trolling is taking place. Essentially the tactic spreads several lines out rather than just one that goes behind the boat. The idea here is that the multiple lines can enable the crankbaits to snag a walleye that has been scared off by the boat.
 
 
Trolling for walleye with crankbaits is working very well as a tactic for many and speed trolling using crank baits is often a primary method utilized
to in summer months when the fish don't seem to be biting on other more traditional presentations. This method increases chances for bagging a walleye, but it still does not remove the need to find out exactly where these fish are located.
 
In the summer months, the tactic tends to work best in mid to deeper level waters.
 
On cooler spring days, more shallow weed line fishing might be best.
 
Give it a go next time out and let me know how it worked out for you!
