  • Today we are fishing Leech Lake in northern Minnesota for some aggressive fall walleyes. It is a super windy day so I apologize for the terrible quality but the goal was to document the day and that's what we did. Today we were targeting walleyes on shallow rock, sand and gravel points that were wind blown....wind was not difficult to find. Due to the big wind we were drifting and jigging for walleyes in 7 to 12 feet of water. This video talks about what we were doing and how we were catching fall walleyes. Thanks for watching!

    Absolutely my favorite walleye lake. Nice family vacation spot.

    I'm surprised you don't have splashguards on that boat and backtroll into that wind. You can hover in place with the big motor. The old school walleye boat control method before the days of spot lock. Seems that nobody backtrolls anymore.

    Way to go ! Nasty big waves, but serious fish! Can’t believe how effective that super simple technique was. Also such nice jig fish on that lake. Good thing about the nasty weather, no worries from other boats!! As always , great information! FISH ON!

    Great tip on the jig weight. I wouldn’t have thought to use a 1/8 oz jig. Always seems to be in the 1/4 oz as my smallest.

    By 4 pm on Friday the roller actually got bigger! I was about a 2-3 foot constant chop. Completely died on Saturday and so did the fishing. You should have kept going east to the bay. 14 inch crappies back in there!

      Lol wasn't meant to be. Just meant that there were still plenty of eyes to be caught just have to change up tactics.
      Fwiw I usually feel like I have no idea what I'm doing when leech is calm. Maybe I just got lucky trying something new.

    Tom, it would be nice if, in the are where you post things, you could include the total time on the water when fishing. We just spent three days on leech lake and never caught one walleye, and I believe we were in the same general area you filmed this. Thanks
