What is your favorite way to catch walleyes?

[gloomiseye]

By far I catch most of my fish on bottom bouncers with live bait. That is what I'm most confident in. But, I'd have to say that my favorite bite is when they are smacking plastics in shallow water. What is your guys favorite way to bring fish to the boat?

[creepworm]

Tossing cranks in the shallows after dark.

[gloomiseye]

How could I forget...I also love a good slip bobber bite.

[JimmyJames]

jig and minnow

i am an opportunistic fisherman.....in my opinion the best chance for success!

[Muskies]

For mid-summer the old stand-by...Jig and Minnow combo is hard to beat.

[FishandFowl]

In spring and early summer long line with a slip sinker and minnow/leech. In the fall I have to say casting/trolling shallow with a crank bait. Both are deadly. Smaller eaters in the spring and CPR Big Females in the fall.

lindy rigging or trolling leadcore

[tacklejunkie]

Jigs and minnows.

A distant second is crawler harnesses.

I've been known to dabble with the crankbaits from time time time but I tend to favor the above methods way before I take out a crankbait

[tunrevir]

Right in the upper lip! I love a good crank bite or jig and plastics bite but it is always fun to watch a lighted slip bobber disappear below the surface.

Lindy rigging hands down.......

Jig and minnow in the spring and fall.

Lindy rig during the summer time.

[reinhard1]

jig and minnow definatly my favorite. then the good ol slip bobber and hook. good luck.

[Jim Uran]

I love jigging.... hands down my favorite way to catch walleyes, not always the most productive but the "thump" when a walleye takes a jig gets me smiling everytime!!!!

[Big Tom]

I love them all. Jigging, bobbers, spinner rigs, handlining, floating and diving cranks..they're all fun.

If I had to pick one I'd go with lighted bobbers off the dock in the spring and late fall.

[Stick in Mud]

I suspect those who answer some method other than a lighted slip bobber at night have never seen one go under.

Just kidding, of course, but nothing beats a slip bobber at night. Second choice would have to be casting crankbaits.

[jwmiller33]

I will admit I do love the simplicity of throwing out a slip bobber from time to time. Although I do think it is hard to beat the feeling of reeling in a trophy walleye with 200 feet of line out on the trolling rod while pulling leadcore at midnight on the October full moon (like the one in my avitar)

[Ed Carlson]

Pitching cranks, then jigs.

Very close to a toss up on what is first as my favorite presentation?

My least favorite method is bottom bouncers...absolutely hate them. All else will be tried first.

[gregg52]

rigging on the flats with nice 2ft chop leeches or crawlers (mille lacs)

all time favorite

dont fish there much any more

but its still rigging deep water structe

but winnie is more of jig and minnow lake which i'm finally get dailed in

but as on mille lacs when rigging failed pulling spinners boat alot of walleyes

and always a good set up on a rock pile with some good wind.. bobber

fishing

last yr i discover i could anchor and throw a jig and that was really fun caught bout 20-25 fish in a couple hrs

hard to have just one favorite way with walleyes

[fishfearme]

Trolling a #11 floating Rapala after sunset.

[pureinsanity]

Honestly, Slip bobber, jig, and a crawler at the end of my dock while sipping on an ice cold beer or cocktail watching the sun go down into the big pond

sounds kinda cheesy but I tell ya nothing better then catching some eyes right off the dock at dusk while relaxing on the dock bench.

[rymcneil]

Trolling #5 or #7 deepdiver. Than kick back and wait till the rod bends
