What strategy would you use when walleye fishing in the Detroit river?

Walleye are easy to catch in the Detroit River if you know a bit about the Walleye. For instance, it doesn’t like sound, it doesn’t like the light, and it loves food. Walleye will usually attempt to stay deep in the water, so be sure that the jigs you are using have enough of a bb weight of some type to sink into the water; and that the jigs are a bit colorful so the walleye will be sure to see them. Also, be sure to use jigs that won’t swivel or twist too much. A good tip to remember with your lure or jig is that “if you don’t feel it on the bottom” you aren’t going to catch that walleye. However, when it comes to your boat, use a trolling motor, and if possible go into the wind or the river’s current. This decreases the noise as well. You don’t have to have a huge engine or fast boat to catch those walleye in the Detroit River. Of course, you have to have patience and give the walleye time to get adjusted to the jig or lure being on the bottom. As they get used to the jig they will then of course presume it is food and therefore attempt to eat it. When this happens and you feel that initial tug, don’t yank your rod. Instead, slowly reel and then when you know the walleye is virtually trying to swim away from you and the boat, it is hooked. This is the time to reel it in.
