whitbyboatguy Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Like manitoubass It takes some time for my full night vision to kick in. But walleye are not people and fish vision is not the same as people vision so I can't draw conclusions based on my own eyesight experience. Also, maybe the walleye need time to settle down before they start feeling more aggressive...again based on my experience. I like to relax, settle down, mingle, check things out......then food.
Kwan Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 i always believed in this as well, walleye are hardly ever caught right after sunset, and right before dark the fish go on frenzies
mike rousseau Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 I have a steady bite on cranks from 5pm-1030pm No slow down at or before or after dark... And that's trolling a lure without scent 2 mph... From what I've seen... Their eyes don't need to adjust... But that's my personal experience so far...

Yeah, I don't see any harm in a walleye unwinding and having a few drinks before supper either.
F_ast Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 During night time, I have had good luck on rocky shoals. If the daytime is crawling with baitballs suspended over open water, the shoal bite picks right up. I am talking larger shoals though. Any other cover like weed patches, bolder fields or exposed surface rock helps too. Trolling body waits is the way to go. I have never done as well on the jig at night.
