Ice Fishing Prime Time Walleyes (How to Catch Them Around Dark!)

There’s a reason experienced walleye anglers set their alarms early and stay late. Low-light periods—right before sunrise and after sunset—are prime time or catching walleyes through the ice. In this video, I head out before first light to break down exactly why walleyes feed around dark and how to take advantage of it. I catch several solid walleyes using a combination of jigging and Predator Tip-Ups, and walk through the exact setup that consistently produces during these windows. In this video you’ll learn where to set up for low-light walleye bites (structure, depth, and travel routes), as well as the jigs and lures I rely on when walleyes are most aggressive, how I run Predator Tip-Ups in flag mode with larger minnows for early-morning and evening bites, how to spread lines efficiently so you’re covering water while staying mobile and why timing matters just as much as bait selection during ice season Gear: Eurotackle Z-Darter V2: https://amzn.to/4snn4tY Billy Rub Nuggets https://billyrub.fish/products/nuggets Clam Predator Tip Up: https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/clam-predator-tip-up/0000101795760?Ntt=101795760&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23367158090&gbraid=0AAAAAD2jMBA5DvsNBAr9uIlvvBB9isz49&gclid=Cj0KCQiA9t3KBhCQARIsAJOcR7zUxqtJhD9Ek2V52h0eFDfQ4Fy20EHAp_MCEOehbA3oC1w9ljhGUnsaAv8GEALw_wcB Vulture Systems Revo: https://www.vulturesystems.com/
