In the early spring, weather conditions can determine how successful your night fishing for walleye and pickerel can be especially during the spawn and post spawn time of year. During this time of year the walleyes and pickerel can be a multiple locations. They may still sit tight where they spawned, or they may be sitting tight in adjacent waters, or they may be located somewhere in between these two area. You need to do your home work on the weather at the local area you intend to fish and adjust your planning according to the weather report. The weather will play a key part as to what the walleyes and pickerel activity level will be at. There are some simple planning tips you can use before you decide to fish a particular location.

 1.You need to find out where the walleye or pickerel are spawning and then pick a good spot if you intend to fish during the spawn?

 2.What kind of habitat is located close to the spawning grounds?

 3.If the spawning grounds do not offer a good food source how far away have the walleyes and pickerel migrated?

The fish have to be located somewhere between the spawning grounds and the outer reaches of adjacent habitat. Walleye and pickerel will spawn in a variety of areas located in natural lakes such as shallow rocky areas located on the main lake, rocky feeder creeks, and at the windward side of rocky shorelines.

Once you have zeroed in on where the fish are located you can determine how you want to go night fishing for walleye and pickerel at night. it is important to pool all your resources togreather when your night fishing and you can increase your chance of a good catch by attracting bait fish to your boat or shore fishing location by using a submerged fishing light sometimes called a underwater fishing light. The light will attract zooplankton which in turn draws 100’s of bait fish close to you if the conditions are right. You need to pick a spot that already has a viable habitat to support the bait fish. Just rember walleye and pickerel allways need to feed and thats why they stay near habitat with a good food source.

A good old reliable live bait rig that I use is a slip bobber that is adapted with a small battery powered light that is attached at the top so it is easily seen bobbing in the water. You can also use small light sticks that will attach to the tip of your bobber. You can then use bait shop purchased walleye minnows as you bait selection. When you are fishing for walleyes or pickerel in the early spring it is best to fish with walleye minnows and not night crawlers or leaches, these walleye baits are better used in the spring and summer.

I want to thank you for reading my article about submerged fishing light. Have a great day and the the best of luck to youWe wish you the best of luck on your next fishing trip!
