Tracking walleye patterns

[south_metro_fish]

I was thinking it would be interesting to track and get some input from different people on different lakes on how the walleyes react to the weather patterns, time of season, time of night, and other factors. Information about lake size, what depth your fishing, what kind of structure, what the weather is doing(barometric pressure, temp, precipitation, cloudy or clear), small or big presentation, time of day, and any other info you think would be helpful. No exact lake names needed, but if you want to give some what of a location like north, central, or south would be helpful.

I was thinking it would be interesting to get a log of how they react to different conditions, and maybe be able to eventually some what predict depth, structure, and presentation for different conditions.

I will start with some of my experience this year. I have been fishing in about 17-18' around a weed edge on a flat with a defined hard and soft bottom, a little ways away from a steep drop on a bend in a med lake in central MN. Location they were biting late fall. Been using jig heads with fathead, buckshots, and Lindy darters. Been having the best luck with jig heads with fatheads. I started last Fri night in the snow with a good bite going till Sunday, with good bite sat morning and night, pretty sure the pressure was dropping and rising throughout the weekend. High pressure moved in and Sunday through Tuesday with dropping temps they seemed pretty negative not interested in biting. Wed they were hungry with an erratic dropping pressure and still cold, biting really well after dark. Thursday, tonight they were few and far between, with a dropping pressure all day going into steady pressure well I was out tonight with clear sky's and warmer temps.

Lets see if we can put some factors together and compare notes.

Well have not fished alot got some last night seemed aggressive went back this morning and they were in lock down mode. 21' of water a flat area on a steep break.

They seemed to move away from the weeds a bit into around 20-22 feet of water. Going to find the break tommarow with my new camera that I think is around 26' and see if thats even better.
