Walleye Fishing in the Morning

Top-o-the morning to ya!

It may not be morning when you’re reading this, but that’s what I hear when I sit on Lake Erie in the morning. The people that come to Lake Erie Walleye FishingCharter are undoubtedly morning people. I, on the other hand, am a morning person- but only after I’ve had my morning coffee! It’s nice and calm on Lake Erie in the summer mornings. I really look forward to heading to the fishing charter bright and early, so much so that it almost makes getting up in the morning easy. There are all kinds of perks for going walleye fishing in the morning. For example, you’ll occasionally run into the group that brought donuts to share. And although we all like donuts, that’s not what we’re here to talk about. So in this blog I will describe some of the benefits and also provide some tips to fishing for walleye in the morning.

One part I enjoy about walleye fishing on Lake Erie in the morning is that I get a good old fashioned challenge. I enjoy fishing at the fishing charter a lot especially because of how easy it is to catch fish. However, we all enjoy a good ol’ challenge sometimes because it sharpens our skills. It also gives us the good stories to tell and if your morning coffee doesn’t work- this will surely wake you up! In the morning the walleye tend to be a little more aggressive, but it really makes them fun to catch for all the reasons listed above.

• A little tip to conquer the aggressive walleye, slow long jigs will help you reel one in quicker. Make sure not to use any sharp quick jigs when fishing for walleye, because those motions attract pike.
  
• A benefit to walleye fishing in the morning in the summer is that on the really hot days the walleye fish are lazy as all lazy and more very slowly. This can make them a quick and easy catch. Every once in a while we’re all just looking for a fast catch. Remember this only occurs on the really hot summer mornings, otherwise walleye tend to be aggressive in the morning.
  
• A tip for the lazy walleye, drag your jig across the bottom (remember the slow jigs) and the walleye should hook on just like that.
  
• Finally, aside from all of the fishing techniques and benefits of walleye fishing, walleye fishing in the morning on the Lake Erie Fishing Charter really is a great way to start the day. Imagine: birds chirping, the serene atmosphere on Lake Erie, friendly people and a quality time with yourself, family and/or friends.
