After the fall turnover, many anglers focus on deep structure, said veteran walleye guide Mike Christensen. And in the right lakes, its hard to beat rigging a large redtail chub or sucker minnow out deep. But in a lot of situations, the weed bite is better.
Such is the case on Christensens home waters of mighty Mille Lacs Lake, where he runs ice and open-water walleye adventures out of Hunter Winfields Resort. Though the central Minnesota walleye factory offers plenty of structure options offshore, the perimeters of its fertile weedbeds are often overlooked. The same scenario arises in many natural lakes with an abundance of shoreline vegetation. Not only are the weedbeds full of walleye, but with most anglers mining off-shore areas, you can have them to yourself.

Deep and steep is the mantra for many anglers when it comes to locating fall walleyes, but a little well-timed shallow thinking can produce great catches as well. Indeed, under the right conditions, relatively skinny water can be your best bet for hooking up with fat October eyes in flowing and still-water scenarios across the Walleye Belt.
Don Olson and Randy Carroll are no strangers to thinking thin. Theyve tapped the shallow bite on lakes and rivers across the Midwest, both for fun and money as a team on the Cabelas Masters Walleye Circuit, and theyve taken Team of the Year honors and finished strong numerous times.
