The key to successful walleye fishing is choosing the right lure for the season. In colder months, deeper-running crankbaits and slower presentations like jigs with nightcrawlers or minnows are effective. During warmer months, walleye are often found in shallower waters, where lures like the Northland Tackle Fire-Ball Jig or spinner rigs with live bait can be extremely productive. Matching the lure to the water conditions and walleye behavior will help you reel in more catches all year long
