How To: Easiest Way to Catch Walleye in the Fall (Find Fish Fast)

[@HobieWanKenobi]

What lure and how do you fish for walleye?

[@HobieWanKenobi]

I love Keitech Easy Shiners around weeds. I will Texas Rig them and make contact with the weeds. Those tails swim nice but....seems to get tore up FAST. I usually save them for a slow cold water bite because they swim great in cold water/

[@The_Multi-species_Angler]

Shallow jerkbaits only because the river here is about 5-6 foot max.

[@HobieWanKenobi]

That is my go to most times. Around dusk, I like to cast clown color around rock piles by the shore. You will see a wake sometimes when they come out and crush it.

@@HobieWanKenobi they slowly moving in here hopefully I can catch one or two

[@HobieWanKenobi]

Just cover water and look for the aggressive ones. If you know they are there and not biting fast lures, slow down and use plastics.

Nice video Hobie. We do not have walleyes in Germany but a very similar species called Zander (pike perch). I mainly use plastics (shad, craw) jigged on a ball head. Sometimes,especially in the summer, shallow jerkbaits parallel to the shore line work well at night.

[@HobieWanKenobi]

That same technique works for walleye in the USA as well. I like to use soft plastics around weeds and wood.

When u got to that tree where you caught the pike, I didn’t know you switched rods and I thought you skipped that jerkbait in there. I was very impressed until I realized in was just a jig.

[@HobieWanKenobi]

Hahahaha....If I could skip a jerkbait, I would be touring the country giving lessons. Maybe even make a late night infomercial and sell my secrets for 19.99 (plus shipping and handling).

[@eugenejohnson8635]

That rod is it good for blue gills and crappie plus are they good rods or Dobyns are they better for crappie and bluegill fishing I don’t like no noodle rod

[@HobieWanKenobi]

If you are talking about the green rod with pink wraps that I skipped the jig on, that is the St Croix Legend Elite 7ft Lite. I built it on that blank back when St Croix sold high end blanks. I prefer this rod for panfish to the Dobyns but, the Dobyns still does well for panfish. The Dobyns has a little more power.

[@eugenejohnson8635]

Thanks I know I wish st croix sale them rod blanks I miss them

[@HobieWanKenobi]

@@eugenejohnson8635 I think they perform good but, their blanks are on the heavy side too. Little tip heavy with the bigger rods.

[@davecooper6551]

Man I thought , is he going to do this with a BFS setup

[@HobieWanKenobi]

I did when I skipped that jig into the brush. I use BFS setups for walleye. I knew it was a crankbait type day so, BFS rods had to play backup

The Fish of Ten Thousands Casts vs The Man With 10,000 hours

[@HobieWanKenobi]

That sounds like an epic musky fishing movie...one cast and hour though...I dont feel bad for the angler.
