Fishing after dark can be a major pain in the tuchus, but it’s usually worth the hassle! Grind all day for 1 or 2 bites…then it can feel like you’re on a whole-new lake after the sun goes down and walleyes show up out of nowhere.
We’ve been catching a ton of fish all spring trolling #11 Rapala Original Floaters and #7 Shallow Shad Raps at night. Something that gets a lot of love in the fall, but can be just as good-er this time of year.
Bonus points: You can catch walleyes all summer long doing this, I usually just switch up to shallow weed flats (instead of sand) and run the baits over the tops of the weeds.

And in case you’re too stubborn to watch the 15-minute video (lol) I’ll even snatch you one quick tip from it….
All this JUNK in the water (cotton, pollen, alien babies, whatever it is?! 😤) has been making things a nightmare. Simply adding a small #8 VMC Rolling Swivel a couple feet above the bait can help catch most of it before it gets to your cranks – still annoying as can be, but at least you’ll know your baits are still fishing and running true:
Okay, that’s all you get 🤣 gotta watch the full video for the rest.
