Fall is your time. [Tom Keenan, a Gander Outsider*](#URL) By Tom Keenan, a Gander Outsider Gander Outdoors Store Manager, FLW Pro-angler, fishing expert, hunting enthusiast Big walleyes are putting on the feedbag and are eager to bite. Some of the best fishing takes place at night and you usually have the lake all to yourself. If you are chasing these big hogs at night crankbaits should be your first-choice, period. Casting and trolling are the two most popular methods for catching fall walleyes. The choice depends on which body of water you are fishing. When selecting a crankbait don't shy away from big baits. Large profile baits make it easier for walleyes to find and attack your crankbait at night. [Article Author Tom Keenan]( “If you are chasing these big hogs at night, crankbaits should be your first choice, period.” My number one go-to bait is a Rapala Husky Jerk in a size 12 or 14. This bait has the right action when trolled or casted. I always have found that dark colors like black/gold or black/silver are the best choices, but that can vary based on water clarity and wind. The other big key at night is to SLOW down! It seems like a slow steady retrieve with little or no action works the best for casting. If you are trolling, I like to troll from 1.0 to 1.2 mph. If you can afford to give up a day or two in the treestand or duck blind and are willing to miss a few hours of sleep you might catch the biggest fish of your life!
