WalleyeTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRock PileI used a slow retrieve on the Carolina Rgged Zoom izzard over rocks in shallow clear water. Walleyes have finished spawning and are returning to the lake. They have been showing up along the shoreline and I'm finding them in similar areas I'm catching bass this time of year.

Slow rolled over newly emerging vegetation with occasional twitches of the rod tip. Omega Heavy Cover Jig in black and blue paired with the Strike King Rage Bug was my best combination. Also caught LM bass on a buzzbait, a wachy rigged Senko, and Fritside crankbait.
