Walleye Anglers are Finding Fish Shallow and Deep

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.
