Jerkbaits in natural baitfish colors can be deadly on fall Walleyes.

lures on 1/8- to ¼-ounce jig heads, keeping the lures near the bottom
on the retrieve. Short hop lures over rocky points and along riprap
banks and vary the retrieve speed until you figure out what the
fish want. If fishing from a boat with electronics, look for schools
of baitfish that will often concentrate the Walleyes. Suspending
jerkbaits and swimbaits may also be deadly and fish often respond
to these lures in white, silver, and other natural minnow colors.
On some lakes, Yellow Perch are also a forage favorite, so baits

Walleyes often congregate where streams and rivers merge.

On some lakes, juvenile Yellow Perch are a prime
forage for Walleyes.

that imitate young perch can work well. Later
in the fall, hair jigs in brown, black, and purple
will draw strikes, especially when fished slowly
around the edges of rock structure.
Live shiners, leeches, and whole
nightcrawlers fished on jig heads
can also be a highly effective
presentation. Live baits can often
be the secret to success when the
fish are being extremely selective.
It is hard to tell which
technique or bait choice will be
the most effective on any given
day, so experimenting is key.
Once you find Walleyes, do not
be afraid to try larger baits, as
bigger offerings can often lead to
bigger fish. Fish that may have
been scattered in the summer
months tend to group up in the
fall, so mark locations where you
catch Walleyes and fish these spots
thoroughly. On many waters, the
fish will stay active right up until
ice begins to form.
Walleye fishing in early and
late fall is fantastic across much
of Pennsylvania, so get out there
and give it a try this year. The fish
are active, and the scenery can't
be beat.
