A great way to target the largest walleyes in the system is by targeting suspended walleyes with crankbaits. These suspended fish are chasing forage, and this technique can often produce your biggest fish of the season!

Throughout the late summer and into fall, as well as anytime you're targeting walleye in deep water, it's important to keep barotrauma top of mind. Focusing your fishing efforts in less than 30 feet is the best way to ensure your fish are releasable.

When you're looking for big walleyes, look for the shallowest structure that is adjacent to the deepest water. This combination often holds the biggest walleyes in the system, and it once again proved true this year on Perrault Lake for us.

Understanding what fish are feeding on is a key aspect to finding success, both in terms of where to fish and what baits to use. When walleye are feeding on young of the year yellow perch, smaller minnow profile baits with gold and green colors can often produce the best!

Crayfish can provide an excellent forage option for walleye, as well as other species, and is a big reason walleyes will hold on main lake rock piles and boulders in the late summer and early fall.

When clouds and wind makes conditions right for targeting walleye this is a great time to fish quickly and check multiple spots. This particular fish came off the 5th spot we fished on the day, and as soon as we found the forage out suspended we put this great Perrault Lake walleye in the boat.
