Walleye

Walleye Seasonal Fishing This is a walleye going for a hook. Walleye fishing can be separated into four calendar periods of spring, summer, fall, and winter. The season determines the location of the fish and the movement of the fish. Spring Fishing In the spring, the ice cover melts from lakes and rivers and walleye begin to move into spawning grounds from the deep water of their winter habitats. Walleye spawn when the water is between 42 degrees and 54 degrees F, and fishing is not good during this time. The best chances you may have of catching fish during this period is for some male fish to frequent the spawning sites. When the spawning is over, walleyes move away from the spawning area, but some males may remain. It is suggested that if you are fishing for walleye at this time that you use 2 pound test line, slow retrieve, and natural baits. You should use a yo yo action in which you lift the rod tip, pause, and then lower the bait, allowing it to touch the bottom. You should set the hook as soon as you feel a strike from a fish, and also do not allow any slack in the line. Summer Fishing…

My family and I started out the weekend by going fishing. We fished many hours and we hooked into some nice crappies. Our family’s seasonal camper on Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod. By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to…

When I had the opportunity for a vacation, I immediately arranged a fishing trip. I was so excited to visit Devils Lake to satisfy my search for some Panfish, smallmouth, trout, perch, Northern pike, walleye and many other large reef dwelling creatures, but I did not know that I am in for an unusual experience, that inside water like Devils Lake anything is possible. The fishing was excellent, I must say, in addition to good weather condition during my visit. I really enjoyed dropping jigs into…

Nothing will frustrate you more than trying to free a frozen-in tipup on a below-zero day that's got a big pike or giant walleye running out line. Most often the fish is lost during the struggle, and worst yet the tipup gets permanently damaged. Always take a skimmer/chopper with you to each hole when making the rounds to check each tipup. Carefully chip away any hard ice forming around the hole and the tipup. Also lift the tipup out of the hole everytime you do this and check the bait. I…

The data shows that once the round goby was introduced to the ecosystem the native species began to decline. The four native species in lab were perch, bass, bluegill, and walleye. Each species had to use a different utensil to collect food. The perch used one plastic spoon, the bass used two knives, the bluegill used one fork, and the walleye used two forks. In graph one it is shown that the smallmouth bass still survived greatly even with the round goby in the ecosystem. In table 2 the round…
