favorite way to catch a walleye

[Cody Lubeley]

I'd have to say verticle jigging or trolling cranks

Anyone who has pitched plastics to the "trees" on Pool 4 in April for pig pre-spawn eyes will agree that there is nothing better. Better have a good hold on your rod!

I agree, even though I am a fan of trolling cranks or spinners I have to say throwing plastics for those big eyes is my favorite.

Rainy river is also a fun place to do it.

Well even though im not very good at it yet I would have to say jigging but I have most of my sucess pulling cranks behind planer boards.

If i'm on a smaller (7,000 acres or less) inland lake, i love fishing from my 14ft. lund over the big boat any day of the week...oh yes and i have to add that pitching and retrieving spinner/lindy rigs along weedbeds is a unique but more action filled way to fish with them.

[Brunsvig_slayer]

either in the spring I like to fish out of my wadders or out of the boat anchored off points and cast towards shore.

Live bait rig

[Azrael]

In the spring, I like a slip-bobber with a leech. Summer, a live bait rig.

Wow, this is like trying to pick a winner at the Miss Hawaiian Tropics contest. I love them all (and the walleye fishing techniques too!)

I like them all, but if I had to choose just one it would be live bait rigging. Finesse fishing and feeling that tap...wow, it just gets me going thinking about it. Rock....rock....sandy...*Plink* FISH!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love a jigging spoon getting nailed, watching a slip bobber slowly sink, seeing the rod tip suddenly double while trolling cranks on a full harvest moon night, or bouncing a jig along the bottom, but finessing a walleye on a lindy rig is how i want to do it every day in heaven!

in the mouth.......

usually on jig/minnow, lindy rig and spinner rigs with leeches or crawlers or minnows

[eyebjim]

In summer: Pulling lead core and cranks.

In winter: Rattle reels.

I'm a jig and minnow kind of guy....well....when it comes to walleye fishing anyway.

1. Casting cranks to shallow weeds or rocks

2. Rattle Reels

3. Whatever else is working.....

[Dan Brelje]

that tap tap on a jig and minnow is tough to beat. however, i do like catching them through the ice on a jig spoon too!!

casting cranks at them, sight fishing. actually got to do 4 or 5 times.

jigging

[papabear]

When I was young jigs were it, then I developed a feel for the lindy rig, now I am older and lazier I've found trolling cranks in deep water my favorite.

at this moment rattle reels are numero uno

[fishgutz77]

I love the planer boards and downriggers, it's all about the hunt in open water. and huge fish.

[walleyeaddict]

SUMMER=trollin raps

WINTER=swedish pimple..no bobber!!

[Gordie]

A buddy and I were just talking about this on the way home from work today and really like jig and minnow or pullin blades.

But I think my favorite way to catch them is in the lowwer lip

the most fun I had catching wallys was watching my 9 and 11 year old sons pullin them in.

[Coach1310]

Slip bobbering over shallow rocks on a warm, clear summer evening with a slight breeze and the sun setting behind the trees! I guess it doesn't really matter if I catch one

[Grant]

I suppose noodling would be a bit tough... so I'll settle for on a hook

[papabear]

OUCH

[canman]

what ever method allows me to outfish the others in the boat!!!!

[bigbucks]

YES would be my answer.

I'm a live bait fisherman at least 80% of the time & usually lindy rigs, but I don't care. I love whatever's working at the time jigging or crankbaits are both a blast. I'm less fond of casting, but when it's happening, that's just fine with me.

[mno]

depends on the time of year but winter I would say seeing the flags pop while chillen on the ice with my buddies, 5 of us 10 tip ups spread out over a flat nothing beats 100+ flags in one day!!! During spring time slippin it on shallow rocks come mid summer its all about 30+ deep diving cranks and pullin spinners. Fall nothing beats trolling with # 5s or husky [PoorWordUsage].
