Walleye Anglers are Finding Fish Shallow and Deep
August 21, 2015
Walleye anglers are finding fish shallow in 11 to 14 foot depths and also deeper in 20 to 30 foot depths. A lively leech on a rig with a 5 to 7 foot snell trolled at a half mile per hour has been producing fish, or try using a bottom bouncer with a 3 to 4 foot spinner, or a slow death rig trolled at 1 to 1.5 miles per hour. Sunfish are active in 10-15 foot weed lines and are being taken with crawlers, leeches, and waxworms. Crappies are suspended over the weeds in 15-20 foot depths. For the most fish, use crappie minnows and small jigs. Look for bass to be in 8 to 15 foot weeds and northern pike in 15 to 20 foot weeds.
