How To Catch Walleye In Lake Huron
Topics: walleye fishing, fishing
Every year, thousands of visitors set a course for Saginaw Bay, Michigan and the Great Lake Huron for vacation because Lake Huron walleye fishing is some of the best walleye fishing in the entire country. While you can usually find a good catch here pretty much anytime year-round, summer is typically the most productive season, with lots of biting power.
In the summer, the waters begin to warm, and walleye tend to move into deeper areas of Lake Huron. Walleye fishing can be quite successful with the use of deepwater crankbaits, especially if you target islands, inlets running into deep water, and sunken reefs, since walleye like to hold in these areas while in transition to the deeper waters. If you want to hit a real hot spot, you should visit the Tawas Bay at the north end of the lake.
If you have never been to Lake Huron, the fishing may be a bit overwhelming, and you may want to consider using a charter or guide for the first couple of outings. It can be difficult to find the right catch on your own easily, and it can be even harder to acclimate yourself to the new fishing spot, especially one as large as Lake Huron. In using a guide, you can pick up several tips without even asking a great deal of questions. Simply be observant; don’t watch for the location itself where you find the fish but rather for the conditions of the location. In other words, take note at what depth and water temperature you are finding good results, and remember the way that the bait is presented to the fish. The fishing there isn’t limited to a few small coves; it is a large lake full of opportunity, and you should seek out your own haunt.
If you don’t care for the thought of hiring a Lake Huron guide or charter, you can at least make a stop at several of the bait and tackle shops in the area. Spending a little time around the natives of the area can help you get an idea of what part of the lake is yielding good fish during any particular season. Of course, don’t expect a precises latitude and longitude, but you can get a general idea from almost anyone in the shops, with will save you a lot of hunting time and let you get down to the catching part.
One fairly well known area for great Lake Huron walleye fishing is the Whalesback Channel, which is a vibrant home for many of the fish in Lake Huron, including perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, salmon, musky, and catfish. However, walleye is probably the most popular target for anglers visiting Lake Huron, with fishermen coming in droves.
