17 min - Spring Fishing Trifecta! Rough Fish, Trout and Walleye/Sauger
Spring offers some of the best multi-species fishing of the year, and in this episode of Angling Wisdom, Patrick Edwards breaks down his Spring Trifecta — carp and suckers, trout, and pre-spawn walleye and sauger.
Learn where fish stage after ice-out, how warming water affects their behavior, and which baits and techniques produce consistent results from shore or boat.
This episode is packed with practical, real-world tactics to help you make the most of spring fishing season.
Spring fishing doesn’t have to mean targeting just one species. In this episode of Angling Wisdom, Patrick Edwards breaks down the Spring Trifecta — three groups of fish that offer some of the best opportunities of the season. Patrick covers where to find fish after ice-out, how warming water and spawning behavior influence location, and which presentations work best from shore or boat. Rather than focusing on a single species, this episode is about matching your approach to the season. Patrick shares when to slow things down with bottom rigs and bait, when to switch to moving presentations, and how changing water temperatures and light conditions influence fish behavior. The result is a flexible game plan that works whether you’re fishing from shore or a boat, bringing kids along, or chasing a short spring window before the spawn.⏱️ Timestamps0:00 – Welcome & What the Spring Trifecta Is1:22 – Group #1: Carp & Suckers (Pickerel rigs, worms, family-friendly fishing)5:11 – Group #2: Spring Trout (Reservoirs, rivers, and lure choices)7:43 – Group #3: Walleye & Sauger (Ice-out locations, low light tactics)10:01 – Suspended jerkbaits, snap jigging & spoon techniques12:10 – Putting the Spring Trifecta together & final tips✅ Gear & Tackle Mentioned in This Episode: (affiliate links)

15 min - Pre-Spawn Walleye Tactics and Tips
Pre-spawn is prime time for walleye fishing, and understanding their behavior can make all the difference. In this episode of Angling Wisdom, Patrick Edwards walks through where to find pre-spawn walleye, what drives their movements, and how changing light levels, water temperature, and bait size affect success.
You’ll also hear practical advice on presentation, selective harvest, and conservation, along with expert insights from Hall of Fame angler Tim Geni. No matter where you're fishing, this episode will help you approach pre-spawn season with confidence and purpose.
Gear Recommendations (affiliate links):
VMC Mooneye Jig: Patrick’s primary jig choice for pre-spawn walleye. The oversized eyes are noted for added attraction, and heavier weights are recommended when fish are holding deeper or when maintaining bottom contact is critical.
Walleye Assassin Paddle Tails: Used for their larger, meatier profile during pre-spawn when walleye are feeding more heavily.Color mentioned: Chicken on a Chain.
Berkley Ripple Shad:Mentioned as a smaller-profile alternative for situations where a more subtle presentation is needed.
Berkley PowerBait Rib Worms:A slower presentation option when the bite is tougher. Worked along the bottom on a jig head.Color mentioned: Firecracker Chartreuse.Can be tipped with a piece of nightcrawler if desired.
Berkley Power Minnows:Used for a slightly faster, twitch-style presentation.Size mentioned: 3-inchColor mentioned: Pink
