BEST Walleye fishing LURE in LATE JUNE?
I am going to try some walleye fishing on Oneida lake. Last week i went out on a boat and caught three on crankbaits but i no there are more because every one around us were catching them like crazy. I don't like to use bottom bouncers and spinners i like to use LURES. So what is the best walleye lure in late June and what depth should i fish? Any other advice or tips would be great thanks. Also if you have ever fished Oneida lake, NY any tips on when where lures etc.?
Here you go-
Summer:
In the summer you will find Walleyes just about anywhere but to be really successful, you should concentrate on areas that Walleyes like the most during the summer. Rocky points, shoals and around islands are best for catching fairly shallow Walleyes as wave action on the rocks produces more oxygen. Deeper weed beds will also produce a lot of Walleyes. You will find Walleyes in shallow weed beds but they are generally a little harder to catch because of all the Pike. This is not always true. If the pressure is rising the Walleyes start feeding like crazy and they don't seem to care about predators at this time. Using a 1/4 to 3/8 once jig head with a white Twistertail is usually best. Some days they will hit black or green better but generally white is the best color.
The Walleyes will also stay down deep off of river mouths or stay suspended out in open water. When you are fishing the rocky points or weed beds, you generally catch the smaller walleyes. If you are looking for big trophy Walleyes, they can be as deep as 30 feet along the shore or suspended out in open water feeding on baitfish such as Lake Herring and Cisco. There are two ways to catch them at this time. You can try trolling with down-deep Husky Jerks, J-13 Joited Deeper Diving Rapalas or other deep lures. You should be able to see schools of bait fish on your depth finder so try to get down there free-lining. This is an effective way of catching them if you can get your lure at the right depth. If you have a trolling motor that can move very slow or you are in a small boat that can back-troll, using a 3-way swivel rig is very effective and gives you better depth control.
