Have you ever wondered what actually attracts walleyes and pickerel to a certain area at night and stay there? Well there are certain characteristics located at certain areas that will attract and hold walleyes and pickerel at night. If you can learn these key characteristics you can become successful at catch walleyes at night. Night walleye fisherman will see different patterns then the daytime walleye angler. To night fisherman there are two types of spots that draw and hold walleye to a certain area.
Number 1 During the spawn you will find walleye and pickerel holding at night only at spots that have proper depth and bottom content.
Number 2 After the Spawn you will catch walleyes and pickerel at night only where there is the proper depth and bottom conditions and where there is a plentiful food source.
When you think about it, Walleyes and pickerel have to eat and they are night feeders by nature. Walleyes need to eat and they are aggressive eaters at night. When you take some time to ponder on it, Walleye's and pickerel will pick similar spots that offer ideal bottom conditions over others. The sole reason In my opinion, is the forage is plentiful in the spot they pick. Walleyes and pickerel that spawn in poor forage areas will quickly disperse from these areas looking for food after they spawn. This is not so in spawning areas that hold a good food source for the walleye and pickerel. One ideal spot that is worth looking for is where rock rubble and vegitation merge and walleyes have recently sapwned but are still holding there because of an abundent food source. Chance are they will stay in this location until the water temperature starts to rise or the food source is depleted. Even after water temperatures rise and walleyes and pickerel head to deep water during the day they will return at night if there is still abundant forage.
Once you have located your night fishing walleye and pickerel honey whole you will want to anchor off so your walleye rigs are casted near the edge line of vegetation and rock and rubble. This the area the walleyes and pickerel will be feeding at night. If you want to increase your chances of a good night catch of walleye and pickerel use an submerged fishing light also called a underwater fishing light, but make sure you secure it with a weight to the bottom. It doesn't matter if you are fishing from your boat or at a location on the shoreline the light will attract zooplankton and bait fish near where you are fishing.
A good old reliable walleye live bait rig that is commonly used when fishing for walleye at night is a slip bobber with a small led light attached to the top. I use a walleye hook with a good size split shot to hold your walleye minnow down at your desired depth. The slip bobber is useful because you can adjust your depth quickly until you locate the depth of the night feeding walleye and pickerel.
