Opening Walleye Season.

[Big Tyee]

Opening walleye season is up on us. I fish the Iowa Great Lakes N.W. Iowa and parts of Minnesota for my favorite fish, Mr. Marble Eyes. :yum:
So I would like to ask? :huh: On the first few weeks of the season what does everyone like to use for bait, and your favorite way to fish (shore, casting, trolling, anchor, drift) for Walleyes?
I know a lot depends on the weather conditions, and but this is just for fun.:grin: :cheers:

I like tradition for opener. A good pack of fish and a nice drift with fatheads or a jig and plastic (both in Iowa). All openers are different so drifting allows you to start out in 20 FOW and end up in 4 or 5 FOW. A guy gets a good idea of the hot depth. My favorite though is casting cranks from dusk to midnight in 2 to 8 feet. After that it's slip bobbers and leeches.
