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. You can increase your chances of success if you can draw some natural bait fish close to where you are shoreline fishing or anchored from a boat, using a underwater fishing light sometimes called a submerged fishing light. The light will attract zoo-plankton which in turn draws 100’s of bait fish close to you if the conditions are right. when you look for a night fishing spot you need to find an area that holds a good population of bait fish. After all that is why the walleye and pickerel are located near there in the first place.
A good night fishing for walleye live bait rig That I use with good success is a medium size slip bobber that has a small lcd battery powered light attached. 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. Night crawlers or leaches are not really a good choice in the early spring months they are better choices for late spring and summer.
Well that concludes my article about night fishing for pickerel. Have a great day!We wish you the best of luck on your next fishing trip!
