Walleye Tournament Tips
Since walleyes have excellent visual acuity under low illumination levels, they tend to feed more extensively at dawn and dusk, on cloudy or overcast days and under choppy conditions when light penetration into the water column is disrupted but in darkly stained or turbid waters, walleye tend to feed throughout the day.
In the spring and fall walleye are located near the shallower areas due to the spawning grounds. On calm spring days the walleye are more often located at the deep side of the shoreline drop-off and around shore slopes around or deeper than ten feet.
