Tip-up fishing for walleyes is as classic as it gets—especially here in Wisconsin.

In this video, I walk through a productive morning walleye bite using a simple, traditional tip-up setup that has been catching fish for generations, but also add in some cool new gear and technology!

I show exactly how I set up my tip-ups for walleyes (line, leader, hooks, and bait), where I place them, and why this approach consistently produces bites. I also cover common mistakes anglers make when fishing tip-ups for walleyes

Whether you’re new to tip-up fishing or have been doing it for years, this is a back-to-basics approach that consistently puts walleyes on the ice. If you fish walleyes on tip-ups—especially in Wisconsin—this method is still one of the most reliable ways to catch fish.
