North Carolina Walleye Fishing
North Carolina walleye spawn in spring and when they have the
option will choose to migrate from the lake up into feeder streams to spawn.
Walleye will also seek out shallow bars or shoals with clean bottom surfaces
near deep water. They prefer small fish and will eat crustaceans, worms
and insects. They tend to be somewhat wary and prefer the safety of deeper
darker water. Try fishing for walleye from sundown to midnight, particularly
during the heat of summer. Fish for North Carolina walleye with live
bait, crankbaits, spoons, small spinner baits as well as plastic worms and
grubs.
