I like to troll for walleye when a boat is available. I use either worm harnesses or jigs with a plastic tail and a piece of worm. I like to find drop-offs or structure to troll around. I also have casted from the bank or put on waders to reach deeper water if necessary. For this I use weight and then give myself about 4-5 feet of line and tie on a float jig with a tail. I have also caught several walleye using a knuckle-ball jig and a tail. I hope you find this helpful.
Those red sticks with Hercules printed on the side really work great. But some fella said it’s not a good idea to use them!
look up on the internet slip bobbering for walleye i caught my largest walleye that way 8 pounds! but still my favorite way of catching Mr. walleye is jigging with a minnow.
Downriggers are also a good choice, particularly when your walleye are lying suspended in the water. A downrigger will allow you to control the depth of the line and keep it at the particular depth at which the fish are hanging. A depth finder is particularly useful for this!!!
I like to use a jig head with a live leach. I seem to have pretty good luck with that.
i like to use a jig head with either or a leach or a big nightcrawler. but one comibination i have found to be pretty good is put on a green or pink mistertwister type deal then put on a leach and a worm. give em the ol buffett. i had pretty good luck with that combo. id say its worth a try
In my local lake, there is no minumum length requirements on white bass, and we often catch ones 3-4 inches long. I just hook them onto a jig in a way that does not kill it so it can swim and throw it back out and troll around. Thets the best tactic I have found
