Catching Walleye and Sauger in Dark Water
Dark, murky waters usually provide lots of nutrients and a healthy food
chain. Walleye will spend more time feeding in the shallows because
the sun doesn’t penetrate as deep. Fishing can be very exciting for
walleye in murky water because you can have some of the best fishing
during the middle of the day. You don’t have to be on the water early in
the morning, late in the evening or at night.
You can still catch fish during these times, however, some of the best
fishing occurs between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Crankbaits, spinner rigs,
spinners, and jigs all produce walleye in murky water. The rattles and
vibration will produce many reaction strikes because walleye are
conditioned to grab a bait fast, otherwise they will miss a meal. Their
vision is good in murky water, but it is limited to only a few feet in front
of them Fluorescent orange, green and glow in the dark jigs also
produce good results.
