You should be fully equipped before you head out on your charter; have all of your equipment ready, but also your knowledge. If you are having trouble finding Walleye, you should visit the weedlines if you see any, as the Walleye like to hide out there from time to time. You have to know the finer details of the fish, where they are likely to be, what they like, what they don’t like, how big they are, how big they should be to catch, and everything else about the fish.

You have to know them in order to catch them, so if you are planning a charter anytime soon but you don’t know too much about the fish it is advised that you brush up your knowledge before hitting the waters.

Another piece of advice is that you should not go out onto the waters on your own. Even of you are planning a trip of no more than two hours long, you should take someone with you. Planning might not be that easy, but if you give yourself enough time it will work out just fine. Don’t give yourself 2 or 3 days. A week is the minimum length of days you should use before you set off. Give yourself at least seven days to get your things together, make sure you have every thing, and of course go over the important information one last time before you leave land.

The most important thing is that you have fun and enjoy yourself. Even if you don’t get as many Walleye as you would like to have gotten, you still got out onto the waters for some time and got away from the stresses of everyday life.

There is always a next time, and next time will be better because you know what not to do! Whatever the outcome of your first Walleye charter, know that it is one of many so don’t stress about it if it was bad.
