Did the best on 7-12 boulders. Could see the fish schooled up on them on live and were fairly active. Biggest was just under 5. Just got that legend tournament rod and that’s one of the nicest minnow rods I’ve ever felt.

Fish were inside reeds mixed with pads and rice. Having a spinner bait slowly slide through the reeds and rice were crucial to the bite. Frogging in the pads also did well once you found the right spot. Occasionally you could catch them spread out, but there are areas where they were absolutely stacked. Pair your spinner bait with any paddle tail.

  Baitfish
Excellent fall walleye fishing is happening right now on Leech Lake. During the daytime hours, look to mid-depth flats holding large schools of baitfish to concentrate feeding walleyes. Key depths are 10-14'. Your sonar unit is key - if you're not seeing baitfish, you won't find walleyes. Slow troll large minnows on 1/16 oz jigs rigged on Seaguar InvizX coupled to Seaguar Smackdown braided main line. Speed 0.5-0.7 mph; you want to jig to tickle the bottom occasionally but not drag. Snap-jigging with 1/4 oz jigs and fluke-style soft plastics is also productive in these same areas. Expect a good mix of "overs" and eaters. After dark long-line troll Shallow Shad Raps (#7, purpledescent and firetiger), Scatter Minnows (purpledescent, perch), X-raps, or Rogues in 4-10 feet of water, Clean-bottom shallow flats are producing, as are weed edges and rocks. Water temp are falling through the low 50s - now's the time to tap into Leech's fall bounty!
