Shallow Water Walleyes
Walleyes are often thought of as a fish that inhabits the depths, and there are times when most of them will be found in deep water. However, there are other times, more than you may think, when you can catch walleyes shallow, shallow being eight feet or less. Here are some ideas for taking walleyes in shallow water.
Early Season Bass
Largemouth bass can be found in lots of lakes, rivers, and ponds across the country. In the southern regions of bass country it’s already mid-season for bass catching, but in the Midwest the bass action is just starting.
The spring crappies progression!
If you’re an anxious angler like me, you can’t wait for ice out to head for your favorite crappie lake to wet a line in open water for the season’s first time. Those just after ice out trips sometimes produce good fishing, but at other times the fish seem to be non-existent. The fact is that as the water warms and weather stabilizes during spring, the crappie bite usually gets better.
Catch more fish!
As a fishing TV show host and fishing educator, one of my “jobs” is to help people find and catch more fish. With that in mind, I am constantly researching and experimenting with cutting edge fishing techniques, staying on the lookout for the latest in technological gadgets, and keeping a watchful eye for good bites that materialize across the Midwest.
Getting Ready for Spring
March can be a bit of a difficult time for this open water angler. The weather is starting to turn for the better, so I am very anxious to be in a boat. Yet, lakes across the Midwest are still ice covered, meaning my boat and this angler are still on the sidelines! Nevertheless, there are some things that I, and we all, can do to get ready for when ice is off the lakes.
