If you’re overlooking the iconic Long A in your walleye fishing efforts, you’re making a major mistake, according to walleye expert Ron Boggs.

Don’t buy into the myth that the walleye won’t bite this time of year. Use these approaches to tap into the best late summer to early fall walleye fishing action.

Walleye anglers mostly associate crankbaits with trolling presentations. However, casting techniques provide distinct advantages for many walleye fishing situations.

Walleye expert Ron Boggs delivers his take on the new Bandit Walleye Shad and its five top virtues for walleye fishing.

The same lure that helped Jason Christie win the 2022 Bassmaster Classic is also spectacular for catching walleyes – with presentations catered to the species’ preferences.

Variances in water levels and flow have a huge impact on walleye locations and behavior. Understanding these variables and strategizing accordingly can help you catch far more fish.

Jigging heavy metal lures, including blade baits and jigging spoons, can help you catch more walleyes early in the year.

You’ve probably heard that fall walleye fishing is some of the best walleye fishing of the year. But why? We’ll answer that question and break down how you can make the most of the season’s opportunities.

Most everyone in the walleye world knows that fall is the walleyes’ season to bulk up. This is their time to put on the feedbag and build fat reserves for the upcoming winter and to grow their eggs before spring. The finicky walleyes of summer are gone. But what does that mean to your fall walleye fishing plans? Just because walleye are on the feed doesn’t mean they will jump in the boat. You still have to find them, target them and execute a plan.

First, let’s define the season. Fall walleye fishing does not wait for the calendar to say Sept. 20, nor does fall walleye fishing start when the leaves on the trees start to turn. It starts quite a bit sooner in the northern half of the continent.

Learn when to use spinners and related rigs to counter walleye movement and catch more fish.

Walleyes are famous for their nomadic roaming tendencies. Walleye movement is depicted with phrases like, “Here Today—Gone Tomorrow,” or, my favorite, “They don’t have a mailbox.”

Whether you chase walleyes in the Great Lakes, in smaller natural lakes, or in reservoirs, decades of old angling wisdom addresses the roaming ways of walleyes with presentations designed specifically for covering water. One of the time-honored traditions for intercepting walleyes on the move is to cover water with live bait harnesses, using spinners and action floaters.
