Catching Walleye and Sauger in Rocks
The best locations to find walleye and sauger usually have some form of rocky bottom. A bottom with jagged and broken rocks of all sizes will hold more walleye than any other type of cover. The challenge is to fish close to the bottom without getting snagged. Ordinary slip sinkers are not effective in these areas. You will constantly be snagged on the bottom. Slip-bobbers are very effective for these spots.

Find out the depth and set the slip bobber about a foot above the bottom. This will keep you near the fish and above the snags. Crankbaits and minnow plugs are also popular for fishing in the rocks. The lip of the crank baits and minnow plugs will usually hit the rocks on the bottom and bounce off of them. These baits will help you work along the bottom without getting caught up in snags.
