The most common fishing techniques are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and trolling but jigging and drift fishing are popular as well.
How much does a walleye fishing trip cost?
Prices for walleye can range anywhere from about $450 to $1,440, but the average price for a half day trip for walleye is $703. The average price for a full day trip for walleye is $938.
Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
What month is best for walleye fishing?
The most popular season for walleye fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 40 days in advance.
