Walleye
Walleye fishing in Gardner, Massachusetts, is a bit of a hidden gem, with a few select lakes offering the chance to tangle with these toothy predators. Lake Wampanoag is known to hold a decent population of walleye, thanks to stocking efforts. Target areas with rocky bottoms, submerged points, and drop-offs. Walleye are often found near structure, so pay attention to your sonar. The prime time for walleye in this area is during the spring and fall, especially around dawn and dusk. They tend to be more active during low-light conditions. Jigging with minnows or artificial lures is a popular and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits can also be productive, especially in deeper water. Local tip: Be prepared for zebra mussels in some of the lakes, as they can foul your line and gear. The walleye in Gardner are typically not huge, but they can still provide a good fight and a tasty meal. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out.
