where are some good places to catch walleye in arkansas without going out in a boat, or is it even possible?

Question

I have never fished for walleye and love to wade fish and bank fish. I would like to catch some walleye. I live in central Arkansas and know there are supposed to be some good places to go, I just don't know where or what to use.

Answer 1

just a tip........
any lake that stocks walleye will have the walleye running up in the river right now to spawn.u can fish off the bank,more than likely.
that is what i do where i live,and usually do pretty well.u will also catch crappie and white bass in the river due to spawning.
as far as lures go,i throw 3" curly tail grubs on jig heads,no bigger than 1/8oz,but usually 1/4oz or smaller.use a light to medium light action rod with no bigger than 8lb test line.just cast upstream and let the water take ur lure.
also u can use minnows as well,but i prefer the grubs.

good luck and tight lines

Answer 2

Walleye often come into shore at night.

Find someplace you can shore fish at night, bait up and cast your line out. No need to monitor the pole 100% of the time (unless game regs require it) but maybe every 15 minutes or so give it a check.
