Northwest Angle

Walleyes continue to congregate along the south shore, and despite unseasonably warm weather, anglers are putting good numbers of fish in the boat.

Walleye action has been excellent along the south shore in 17-27 feet of water.

Walleyes are setting up in good numbers in 22-27 feet of water, with the bite excellent as we move deeper into fall.

As waters cool, more fish are pushing toward the shorelines, and this movement will only increase as the fall progresses.

Jumbo perch remain a bonus catch, mixing in with the walleyes across the basin.

Big numbers of walleyes are holding over the deep mud basin in 31–34 feet of water. Anglers are finding success with two main techniques.

The deep mud bite is hot here.

As expected this time of year, most anglers are now pulling spinners with crawlers or trolling crankbaits, two proven techniques that are putting good numbers of walleyes and saugers in the boat.

The classic jig and frozen emerald shiner combo continues to catch nice walleyes. Hot jig colors have been orange, yellow, gold, gold/chartreuse, and orange/yellow.
