Walleye on Inland Lakes? Techniques?

[Kzoo-Sniper]

Do you fish walleye through the ice on Northern Lower lakes the same as down on Lake St Clair, with tip ups and shiners or jigging raps or pimples with a minnow? Im headed up this weekend. Also, do you fish the drop offs and humps like summer? Any info would be helpful Id like to get one up there through the ice.

Thanks Mike

Kazoo,

All of the above work. Jiggin raps, anything with a minnow pinned to it (jig, pimple). Tip-ups with minnows.

They seem to follow the same trends in winter; twighlight the hottest time, relate to structure and weeds. But, you can catch them any time of day shallow or deep. Relate to bottom mostly.

Always a fickle fish, ol' mister marble eyes :D

what ever you favor doing. some guys fish eyes with tip-ups some prefer jigging.
i'm a jigger..rapalas and pimples mostly tipped with a perch minnow.try to use the smaller size ..the inland lake eyes are usually smaller than sag. bay eyes so smaller minnows and jigging baits work better

I also do the raps and pimples spiced up with a perch minnow or two BUT my go to bait for finicky eyes is the Super-glo buckshot lure spiced up with 2 perch minnows..........however it also depends on the day, some days all work other days nothing works......

Thanks on the ideas, thats what I figured. How do you hook your minnows on your tip ups, with a treble hook in the back or a single hook size 2 or 4 through the lips or tail? Im not real experienced with tip up fishing but Im going to set one this weekend and jig with my other rod.

Thanks Mike

Never tried them for eyes but use em for whitefish. So now I got another use for them :) !
