Shallow Water Walleye In Dark Water Lakes
Walleye can be found in shallow water in any lakes during certain times of the day. Early morning, late evening and night time will bring some walleye in shallower to feed on bait fish. You can catch a stringer full of walleye in 2 to 3 feet of water at these times.
In darker water lakes, you can catch walleye in 4 to 6 feet of water throughout the day if you can find the right types of cover. Wood, weeds and rocks that have access to deeper water will all hold walleye at some point throughout the day in darker water.
If you can find wood and weeds, you should be able to find fish. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t fish deep as well, but there are fish to be caught shallow. Stay close to the cover and you will catch some walleye.
Any typical walleye rigs will work. Jigs tipped with minnows, leeches and crawlers work well. Crankbaits and spinners will catch walleye. Bobbers and live bait work and don’t forget about drop shotting the docks to fill your live well.
