This bait will get exploded on all day.

In general, it helps to know your gear. That may always be true, but particularly with slip bobbers.

Where to catch the walleyes and how to get ’em.

The walleyes will be much shallower, from 2 to 12 feet deep, compared to last year’s opener when they were 12 to 25 geet deep.

In between will again be a summer of catch-and-release fishing, with an early July closure to reduce hooking mortality.

The campaign, which originated with Lake of the Woods in 2012, was also recently adopted by Red Lake.

Rely on set lines and not try to chase the world right now.

There was a big transition to nightime walleye and crappie activity over the past week.

The morning and evening hours are best, but daytime walleye action hasn’t been that bad in many areas. It seems a combination of jigging spoons and deadsticks with minnows are both producing walleyes.
