Catching Walleye and Sauger in Dark Water

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.

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.
