Best Lakes in the Country and Tips for Lake Fishing Walleye

Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin is a popular lake for walleye lake fishing. The depth of the water is at its peek with only twenty feet. The other areas stay around fifteen feet deep. The weed growth and some underwater reefs make this the best lake in Wisconsin to try your hand at walleye fishing.

Some of the anglers on this lake are using a jig with a night crawler or a plastic twister tail. They are fishing right out of the weeds over by Kelly's Point and Fraction Island. The recommend way to troll is using the back troll method with a night crawler and a spinner.

The thing to keep in mind when fishing a big lake like this is that every area is going to call for different types of bait. If you fish the open water, you want to use a slow troll. You will want to use a planner board with long rods with baits such as Shad Raps, Wally Divers and Thundersticks. In Lake Winnebago, anglers find anything with the color blue works the best.

Blackduck Lake in Minnesota is a well-known lake for some great walleye lake fishing. During the summer and winter, you find that this lake has some great fishing for everyone. The abundance of walleye is amazing. You can just sit by the shorelines and hook some nice sized walleyes. Keep in mind that the development of homes around the lake hampers the fishing in those areas, therefore, you need to fish the unpopulated areas of the lake. Up there in Minnesota, they just use a night crawler or a minnow to hook the big ones.

Lake Erie is a well-known lake for walleye lake fishing. Whether you are on the Michigan side, the Pennsylvania side or the Ohio side, you can enjoy some great fishing on Lake Erie.

Use a bright colored minnow jig and you will have a nice catch for the day. As the season progresses, the walleye start moving into the deep waters where you are going to change your habits and your bait.

The walleye hang out around the new weed growth and are ready to strike. The standard bait can be used as the walleye are striking anything since they are hungry after spawning. During the summer months, you can use a quarter ounce jig with a minnow to hook a walleye. They hide in the deeper water by the weeds and rock formations.
