Jason Mitchell Outdoors Television will be with us in December, but you can learn from him now, thanks to this feature from Target Walleye....
Certain rock shapes = more walleyes? 🪨
So ya hear about fishing rocks and boulders in the fall, but have you ever thought about how the shape of the rock makes a difference for how they hold walleye???
Well...if you don't think about that, Jason Mitchell would probably tell you that you might want to! 😂
Here's a juicy tip from a recent Jason Mitchell Outdoors YT vid on how to find the right rocks for fall walleyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXpYfkKVj_U
> "You can look at a map and identify these types of locations, but what's peculiar is that not all of them are the same.
> "You might find fish on a hump that's 20' deep on top and comes up out of 60' of water. Then you identify other spots on the map that look just like it, but for whatever reason, they don't fish the same.
> "I think one of the biggest factors is bottom composition – more specifically, the size and shape of the rocks.
> "Some of my favorite spots have a variety of rock sizes, anywhere from the size of a softball to big boulders. I'm not necessarily looking for one massive rock the size of a 2-car garage.
> "I find that a variety of different-sized rocks, particularly round rocks, can make a spot you've circled on your contour map that much better.
> "The other thing I'm looking for is a shoulder on the side of the hump in the depth range where I'm anticipating the fish to be.
> "Say in the fall I'm expecting fish to be in 20-35' of water. I like to have a little shoulder on the side of that hump – a stair-step or some kind of ledge where you've got a sharp drop, then a gradual slope or flat, followed by another sharp drop into deeper water.
> "It seems like having those shoulders on the deep side of the hump in that 20-30' range is what can take a good spot and make it great."
