Walleye
If you're looking to hook into some Walleye near Hammond, Indiana, focus your attention on the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Calumet River system. This area offers a unique mix of structure, current, and forage that walleye love. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move into shallower water to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Try trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with minnows along breakwalls and channel edges. Be aware that boat traffic can be heavy, especially on weekends. A local tip: check water clarity before heading out, as the Calumet River can be affected by industrial discharge. The walleye here are known for their robust size, thanks to the ample forage available in Lake Michigan. Access points are plentiful along the lakefront, but parking can be limited, so arrive early.
