Switch up your Oklahoma walleye fishing tactics based on season. Spring fishing requires small crankbaits and jigs at shallow and moderate depths, especially around ledges, points, and submerged humps. In the summer, you can increase the size of your lures, staying in the shallows during the evening or early morning but moving into deeper waters as the sun rises and walleye return to their resting places. In the fall, you might also want to try spoons, looking just outside of areas of structure in the deeper parts of the lake or in the shallows if you are fishing in the morning or late evening, when the sun is still in hiding. In the winter, jigs, spoons, and plastic worms will achieve a good showing, if you search at moderate depths and move your bait slowly. Remember, that walleye are less active in colder water and will not chase after a fast moving bait. Be sure to target underwater structures, where walleye will shelter themselves from current.
As you can see, while finding walleye in the south is atypical, Oklahoma walleye fishing can still be a productive sport. Anywhere there is walleye to be caught, there is fun to be had with the right preparation and attitude. Simply know what you are looking for and what tools are necessary to find it. Don’t stray from the plan, and your excursion is sure to be productive.
