Trolling

• 1). Operate a small boat and take it, the vessel to deep water. Walleye prefer deep water and when you troll, you can reach the depths where walleye congregate. Lake McBride walleye frequent 20 feet deep channels near fast currents, where the fish can ambush baitfish.
  
  
• 2). Consider a thin steel 8-inch lead on the end of your fishing line to prevent, walleye from slicing through your fishing line, during a battle.
  
  
• 3). Slide on your line a ¾-bullet weight onto your line. The weight of the bullet weight and the type of weights you uses will depend on conditions, such as current and weather.
  
  
• 4). Select a 5-inch long, ½-ounce metal silver or red floating minnow plug. Tie the lure to the end of the fishing line with a snell knot.
  
  
• 5). Cast the lure at the rear of the vessel begin moving the boat forward. The floating minnow will follow behind the boat and dive-deep towards the bottom.
  
  
• 6). Drive your boat, fast and slow. With this action, the lure will move either rapidly or at a slow pace. A walleye will strike baits at various speeds, during different times of the year. In warm months, a walleye go after lures that move fast. In cold water, a walleye will not exhort a lot of energy, so a lure should move slowly.
  
  
• 7). Operate your boat within the deep areas, of Lake McBride. When your lure, moves by a walleye, the flashy color and erratic progression of the lure will capture the fish's attention and garner an aggressive reaction. Within seconds, a walleye will bite the lure and battle will begin.
  
  
• 8). Keep your fishing rod in your hands, so to feel a walleye strike. On feeling a bite, pull back on the rod and set the hook. The hook will lodge within the fishes jaw.
  
  
• 9). Let the fish run, utilize the drag on your reel. Keep the line tight, give the walleye plenty of line, as walleyes have sharp teeth and can shake off a hook, according to the website In Fisherman.
