Walleye Fishing in the Fall

Fall walleye Fishing marks an end to typical summertime Fishing patterns and a shift toward more volatile conditions due to changing weather and lake characteristics. As summer fades into fall, the lakes feel changes, which cause fish to alter their feeding behaviors and locations as well. While the autumn months, switching your walleye Fishing lures to jigs from your beloved summer rigs will help you adapt to these changes and be prosperous out on the lake.

The time of year in which warm days remain but nighttime lows start to plummet marks the starting of the changing dynamics of lakes. If you fish a lake with abundant pike and walleyes, you might start to notice that you are not getting as many walleye bites in the weedbeds like you were While the summer. That is because While this time, pike will often move to the weedbeds and walleyes will find a new location, ordinarily in the lake's depths. If you are seeing this to be true, you can use a slip-bobber to get your bait deep down into the water. Using a fluorescent colored jighead will pique a hungry fish's interest, and they will try to feed on the jig, instead of taking a nibble on your bait and swimming away. Your chances of landing a fish will be better because it setting the hook will be easier to do.

If you are customary with lakes "turning" in the fall, you probably know that it is not a great time of year for walleye fishing. While the period of turnover, the lake's water becomes a uniform climatic characteristic because strong winds cycle all the water together and break down the separate climatic characteristic zones. Fishing will pick back up again after a lake "turns," but not for two or three weeks, so it is best to not plan to fish after this phenomenon has occurred.

After the turnover, more general patterns resume. Walleyes are abandoning their summer locations at this time and swimming off to their winter sites, so you will find that these fish are spread out far more than they typically are in other seasons. Since the water is now much colder than it was While the summer, walleyes are more lethargic and your summertime method of trolling slowly to allow an interested fish to succeed your bait will no longer work. The fish are just not that active anymore. It is best to use a jig so that your bait can generate very microscopic appeal in the water. This will be seen as an easy meal to a fish and they will go for your bait. Try using a large minnow or chub; these live baits are more prosperous While the cooler autumn months than are leeches.
