Walleye Traditional Cache

The walleye prefers moderately deep lakes with gravel, rock or sandy bottoms. It is found primarily in cold water lakes but has proven to survive in warmer impoundments. It is prized for its great tasting filets. 

South Carolina walleye spawn in spring and when they have the option will choose to migrate from the lake up into feeder streams to spawn. If this option is not available they seek out shallow bars or shoals with clean bottom surfaces near deep water.

The toothy walleye will eat virtually anything they can catch and get in their mouth. They prefer small fish and will eat crustaceans, worms and insects. Try fishing for walleye from sundown to midnight, particularly during the heat of summer. 

Fish for walleye with live bait, spinners, spoons, crankbaits, jerkbaits, small spinner baits as well as plastic worms and grubs. Trolling is a very effective way to fish for these tasty fish.
