Minnesota’s Pro Fishing Tip of the Week: Fish at different depths for fall success

Late-fall fishing for walleyes is my favorite. It’s a time for good numbers and for big fish. Live-bait rigs and large minnows, jigs and minnows, and glide baits all work great. 
Don’t be afraid to fish shallow, and don’t be afraid to fish out deep.

Pro Fishing Tip of the Week: Long-line jigging can be a helpful tool

One of my favorite ways to fish for and catch walleyes is what I call long-line jigging. I’ll work backwards into the wind along a weed edge or breakline.
I cast as far out as I can so I’m away from the boat. Then, I drag, pop, and let the jig sit, while using the backward movement of the boat to keep the line tight. I like to use a 1⁄8-ounce jig and I’m usually fishing more by faith than by the feel of the jig.
