Five Tips for Walleye Fishing in Maine

Most fishermen agree that there are about five main tips when walleye fishing in Maine. The five main tips for walleye fishing include things such as speed, direction, location, presentation and depth.

Walleye fish are very popular in Maine. When you are fishing within a new area it is a very good idea to get a map of the local area and of the local lakes and rivers. It is a very good idea to study the map and to mark the various hot spots on it. When you are on the new lake or river it is a very good idea to look at the other boats that are currently there; therefore it will not take long to determine if they are fishing for walleye.

It is very important to pay close attention to the other fishermen that are fishing for walleye. This is not just for presentation as it does help you to find the location. If you see that one area is fishing a particular spot for any length of time, the chances are that they are good for catching walleye.

The best way to fish for walleye is by using the trolling or drift method of fishing; however, it is not actually that hard to position your boat within a drift. The hot spots for walleye fishing change from year to year, so it is important to keep up to date with these. The hot spot one year can be like a piece of drift wood the next. It is very important to remember that the walleyes migrate to places that contain more food, and especially places where the food is easy to catch. The walleye also prefer spots that have some big boulders where they can hide out of the warm sunshine. Some fishermen prefer to fish for walleye at bends within the river and next to little islands within the river.

It is also a very good and worthwhile idea to use fish finders, as these will help you to see whether or not there is actually any fish in the area that you are going to fish. It is best to start using it at about two miles per hour and to bounce it off the bottom of the water. If the area that you are fishing has a strong current then you should bounce it off the bottom of the water at a speed less than two miles per hour. If the area that you are fishing has a very slow current then you should bounce it off the bottom of the water at a speed that is more than two miles per hour.

The direction of the current is also something that is very important, especially when you are fishing in the main body of water. It is a very good idea to use bottom bouncers; however, this can be very difficult whilst you are trying to move upstream. Therefore, it tends to work best when moving down stream. It is also for this reason a very good idea to carry two rods in the boat whilst walleye fishing. One of the rods can be used for bottom bouncing and the other one is used for crank baits.
