New Details Emerge on Walleye Tournament Cheating Scandal

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Oct 4, 2022
Cheating is everywhere. A quick flip through the pages of a newspaper or scrolling through newsfeeds on your phone makes this quite clear. Most of us can recall scandals in football, basketball, and even chess in the not-so-recent past. The much less popular sport of walleye fishing has now taken...

How to Catch More Walleyes on Crankbaits

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Apr 20, 2022
Fishing live bait for walleyes is a rite of passage. Practically everyone learns to catch these often-tricky fish with worms on spinners, minnows on jig heads, or leeches under floats. But, if you stick with the walleye game long enough, you’ll learn that you also better become comfortable using...

How to Fish Walleye Spinner Rigs Like a Pro

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Apr 8, 2022
Spinner rigs account for a huge proportion of all walleyes caught in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs across the walleye belt. Also known as a worm harness rig, this relatively simple tackle can be fished from the bottom to the surface, fast or slow, and provides a good mix of power and finesse. These...

Best Soft Plastic Lures for Walleye

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Oct 28, 2021
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like live bait. In today’s day and age, however, you would have to crazy to not have a good sampling of soft plastic lures in your walleye boxes. Plastics open a diverse set of options when compared to live bait. We will forgo the obvious holdups that live bait can be...

How to Catch Fall Walleye

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Oct 11, 2021
Cool nights, football games, and long pants usually mean the start of prime walleye fishing in most parts of the walleye world. As the waters cool, these fish know to strap on the feedbag in order to help eggs develop or put on some extra fluff to get through the winter slowdown. It’s at this time...

Night Wading for Big Fall Walleyes

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson Nov 15, 2019
Full disclosure, most of the season I make my living driving up and down the lake in an expensive, sparkly disco sled of a boat with the intention of catching the biggest walleyes around. But, truth be told, my favorite time of year is actually when I can leave the boat on the trailer and grab a...
