Late summer/early fall spots LOADED with walleyes

Here's where I've been finding walleyes on EVERY local lake I've been on recently. A cool thing about these late-summer walleye fishing locations, is that fish will still be in them even as we transition into fall.

Hope this helps you get out and catch a few more walleyes on your own local lakes!

Please drop a comment below and let me know what you think. 👊 Thx SO much for watching!

*My Amped Outdoors lithium battery setup*
I upgraded my boat batteries to lithium last year and could NOT be more happy!

I went with Amped Outdoors' 36V 100Ah trolling motor lithium battery system (which is two 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries in parallel). I was able to shave off roughly 140 pounds 😳 by running those 2 lithiums vs 3 lead or AGM batteries, and of course get some amazing run times:

Which also freed up an extra battery slot in my boat, so I was able to plug in this 130Ah beast (only weighs 31 lbs) to exclusively run all of my electronics – fer dayzzzz 🔋 – instead of running them off of my cranking battery:

Up here around Montreal they already started to push up on shallow rock, less than 10 feet. Water temp around 70 degrees. Gotta check the weed lines for sure next time!! 😉🤙

Love your videos! Fun and informative. I found a few on Pelican (Orr) in 20ish feet off of main lake rock humps. Jig and shiners.

Another great video. Keep the instructional videos coming, you do a fantastic job of making it sound simple.

[craigwavra]

Always enjoy these videos!! Lots of good information here!!

[davidspencer]

Appreciate the content so much and the links as well. Living in Southern Illinois, I only get up to the North country to fish for walleyes a couple of times a year. I definitely need all the help I can get.

I love your info! excited to try some new spots!

Would have loved to see this video this past weekend! I was way way too deep!!

Bobbers swing around and get in the prop.

Ok I need to ask: lakes that are very clear, how much does that affect your decisions on where to look on a given day? I’m sure that you fish tons of different lakes with varying degrees of water clarity. On the Whitefish chain and Crosslake for instance, I was told that these lakes are clear and fish tend to be deeper than other lakes. Any idea if that is true?

Don't you dare say early fall. You know what comes after fall? Winter!

I thought cold water was able to hold more oxygen?

Wish I could afford forward imaging. Maybe my wife will get a third job.
