Illinois walleye fishing is quite much like fishing other lakes at the same latitude. Shelbyville, little Shabbona, and also the productive Fox Chain are a few examples of a few of the great walleye fishing you have in Illinois. All the lakes in this state are begging for anglers to apply some effective and frequently times nontraditional tactics. You possess some virtually untapped walleye and sauger fishing that I would rank right available online for with a few of the popular Northern destinations. Let's check out these 3 lakes and some good ways to catch walleyes that you could affect other lakes in Illinois.
In lake Shelbyville you discover the walleyes separate when spawning. A major portion runs in the Kaskaskia river while another portion uses rocky points and the rip rap dam in the main lake. A wonderful time to fish Shelbyville is in June. You discover the two populations of walleyes uniting and feeding heavily in the middle third from the reservoir. Target large flats in 2 to eight feet of water. Troll bottom bouncers, spinners and crawlers to wash on these fish.
On some flats you receive subtle rises. These high spots around the flats are dynamite to troll over, so mark them with your GPS and play connect the dots together with your trolling passes. As summer heat takes over the walleyes separate. Some move deep and the other untapped segment of people suspends. Troll crankbaits sifting the 12 to 25 foot column of water out of the major flats during dog days. Occasionally bump structure and spend plenty of time chewing up open water on Shelbyville. If you hit a large pack of white bass, you're in the best area! Just get your baits below the whites for walleyes. It never fails. The other choice is casting jigs or crankbaits to shallow wind swept rocky points. This is a superb multi species tactic that get you a large number of white bass, several walleyes, and striped bass on Shelbyville.
For Shabbona lake you want to work unwanted weeds over the open water season. Before the weeds are up you will find walleyes a little deeper, hanging just out from these areas. If you realize the best weed beds make sure to pull a lindy rig and leach or fathead minnow just from where a major weed bed will be developing. Once the weeds start approaching in Shabbona, get up on the weed flats and troll spinners or crankbaits over the weed tops. If you whack fish in the same area on each pass, anchor up and try a slip bobber and leech, set to dangle just over the weed tops.
The Fox Chain is a well-liked walleye destination and it's one of my favorites. Shallow cranking programs work well here. Use planer boards to spread your baits out or another wise decision - 10 foot trolling rods. You can take control of your baits better with long rods, but planer boards give your baits extra action using the waves and offer more flexibility for really obtaining a crankbait from the boat in skinny water. I also relish casting jigs to shallow rocky lipped shorelines or round the bridges as walleyes appear spawn within the Fox Chain. Get round the right bridge and you'll really make hay. As summer wears on and dog days occur I've found finesse crankbait patterns work the best. There are many variables which go into this deadly technique, however, the main idea is to very slowly walk your crankbaits within 1/4 inch from the bottom. You would like your treble hooks dragging on the bottom, with the lip of the bait occasionally smacking the underside. Other overlooked patterns for dog days walleyes include fishing shallow out over deep water and fishing around moving water. Each has a place and time around the Fox Chain.
