need help with minnetonka walleyes!!

i am taking a few out of town family members walleye fishing this friday and was supposed to head to the pond but there forcasting south east winds at 17 and om not sure they want to deal with that……. so im thinking that maybe we can get some meat on minnetonka. im a musky guy and have some ideas but was wondering if anybody knows of anything specific happening right now out there?

any help would br awesome!!!

It’s generally easier getting someone to help you move than it is to get help with Minnetonka walleyes. I can give you some help though. Generally you want to fish around sunset/sunrise. That is when they will be most active. And most of the walleye that I have caught have been eating small perch, but they bite OK for me on fatheads. Don’t expect to get much action, best I have done in one evening (5 hours) is 6 hits. If you are fishing during the day, you might need to go deep. Look for fish in 30+ feet of water and try there.

If you want action, go for bass/northern. If you want a fish dinner, a northern after the water has cooled down below the 70’s is just as good as walleye IMHO. If you don’t know how to get the Y-bones out, search the web for help.

Hope this gives you something to start.

Good luck!

Look for live cabbage and hard bottom u will find walleyes this has been a tried and true method for me. jig and slip bobber fatheads. pink and glow have been my best colors. goodluck i hope this helps.

troll the channels if ur fishing after dark with stick baits and raps. got a 28 with this method the other night with a few smaller fish.

Pitching jigs in current areas around bridges can be really productive this time of year on. The best bridges have wind blowing into them creating even more water movement. Suckers around 6″ can be a great choice when going after the big bite with a 1/4oz jig. Don’t be afraid to go to 2-8 feet around sunset and later. Otherwise it’s never a bad option to fish a #7 shallow shad rap, either casting around some of the rockier areas around the Arcola and hardscrabble areas. With the zebes taking over, there isn’t a whole lot of shallow action, and it can be a hot and cold bite anyways. Pressure is one thing that can kill this bite, so look for bridges without a gang of anglers around it! Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!

thank you so much guys!!!!!!!!

hit tonka on saturday for a few hours…. marking fish from 18 to 24 fot….. picked up a few small perch and that was it. saw one guy get a walleye in a channel bobber fishing but all we got were bass on cranks sounded like most of the walleye action was at low light periods… of course
