Big Water Walleye
We’ll talk about the best ways and methods for catching big water walleye here. Al and James Lindner, the hosts of Angling Edge TV, talk about their experiences and thoughts on how to catch walleye in these kinds of places.
Getting to Know the Place
The hosts say that the wind has a big effect on where big water walleye are in big water lakes. They say that the wind moves the baitfish to certain parts of the lake, which then draws in the walleye. The water temperature is about 44 degrees in this case, and the wind is pushing the baitfish to a certain corner of the lake.
Places That Are Often Missed
The hosts say that many walleye fishermen don’t pay attention to this spot because they are more interested in fishing around rocks and structures. But they say that the place where they are fishing doesn’t have any structure; it’s just gravel and broken shells. These places are where bait fish grow up and where perch get ready to spawn. The hosts stress that the big female walleye know this and are going to these areas because they are hungry. 
The Bait and the Way It Looks
The hosts say they are using soft jigs to catch the walleye. They say that the jigs they are using are the VMC hot start jig and the VMC moon-eyed jig, which come in sizes from a sixteenth of an ounce to a quarter of an ounce. They stress that the jig is the best bait for walleye fishing in the spring.
They also talk about how important the retrieve is and how it changes with the temperature of the water. They say that in cooler water, you should do a slow lift and follow retrieve, and in warmer water, you should do a more aggressive pop jig and rip retrieve.
Setting Up the Rod, Reel, and Line
The hosts talk about the rod, reel, and line setup they use to fish for walleye in big water. They say they are using a Quantum Smoke rod that is 6’9″ long and has medium action, a 25 Energy reel, and 6-pound Suffix 832 braid. When using braid, they also suggest backing off the drag to keep the line from breaking.
The hosts stress how important it is to pay attention to the little things when fishing for walleye. They say that they start with two different jigs, the moon-eye and the hot skirts, and then change them based on how the fish react. They also say that they pay attention to how the jig moves and sometimes change its color and size.
Tip for Live Bait
The hosts give a tip about live bait, saying that spot tail shiners are the best bait for catching big water walleye in the spring. They say that spot tail shiners are the best bait to use right now if you can find them.
We have looked into the methods and plans for catching big water walleye in large lakes.
