Walleyes in hot sunny weather

[Guest]

I go for one of two places. Extreme shallow or Extreme deep. I start out in 25-30 feet of water just off any classic Walleye structure. I keep moving shallow until i connect. I have caught Walleyes on a dead calm sunny day in 6 feet of clear water. Good Luck

I am pretty familiar with walleye fishing but were do you go for walleyes during the day in hot sunny weather? And what is the best approach for going after them?

Last Saturday the wife and I fished Blackduck lake in Northern Minnesota and limited out by bobberfishing in 10'of water. We were on a rock pile that was surrounded with deep water. What a time!!

I'm still using minnows in the St. Louis River and getting nice walleyes from 4' to 7'. Toward August I may switch to crawlers and hit 20' - 30' areas. But the evening has produced feeding walleyes on shallow flats and around weeds. Haven't fished much during the heat of the day.

I was fishing all week on Garfield Lake just east of Leech. The weather was VERY HOT my wife and I spent most of the days trolling deep running cranks. It was just to darn hot to sit still. We pulled many walleye in the 18-23" range in 22-30 feet of water. Most of the fish were caught on Wally Divers. I have always found my best mid day hot summer fishing trolling deep running cranks.

Judfish- Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I have been busy laying wood flooring in my basement and then fishin. I just got back from Blackduck tonight and the wife and I caught 11 walleyes and kept 10. I had to keep a 5 lbs. walleye tonight because it swallowed my hook and it had deep gash marks on the side of it's body. And also it is the biggest one I have caught!!!

Next time you come up drop me a line on the forum and I will try and get back to ya asap.

Sorry, Hope the visit with the GF was worth your time. Is she from BlackDuck??

How do you manage to get your cranks down that deep? Also what do you find to be the most productive speed this time of year?
