Trolling at night can be very productive but it will be much different than fishing during the day. For example, the walleye will stay closer to the shore near the shallows at night so this is where you need to look for them. It’s important to make sure you have proper lighting and only travel areas at night that you are familiar with to avoid accidents.
If you decide to use live bait when night fishing, then minnows would be a good choice because this is one of the walleyes favorite foods naturally. However, lures can be very productive as well. When using lures it’s a good idea to use bright or glow-in-the-dark colors because the walleye are attracted to these.
Night fishing is more dangerous than fishing during the day simply because it’s hard to see and easy for accidents to happen. For this reason, it’s advised that only experienced anglers go out at night or that you go out with someone who has experience because safety should always come first.
Conclusion
Trolling is an excellent way to catch walleye but it’s important to keep in mind that there are other factors that play a big role in how well the walleyes respond to your offering. These need to be taken into consideration each time you head out and it will help to increase your productivity. For example, water temperature will make a big difference in where the walleye will be located and how active they are so the seasons in which you’re fishing and the time of day makes a difference.
The type of water you’re fishing in will determine which methods will work the best, which baits to use and even how responsive the walleye will be. Experience is the best way to determine what will work best when walleye fishing so, go fishing every chance you get and don’t be afraid to do a little experimenting.
Walleye fishing is fun, exciting and a great way to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Using the information above will help you to be more productive so you can add even more excitement to your fishing trip by reeling in more walleye.
