Love it, but envious!

I feel your pain. I had to do a lot of reading, this is the best site to find the local info on walleye. If you spend the time to check summer and fall posts for Stockton you will find all the info you need to get started. There are several guys here who are really good at it. This is a great time to be reading about it because the bite is slow, at least for me. Good Luck, don't give up, we are all still learning. Dan

On mine the fuse box is grounded to the boat (aluminum) Don't know what you would do on a fiberglass boat??

Thanks, it has been a humbling couple of months for me. I have Lowrance depthfinders, I don't get any interference, but I will get a little snow on the screen when the live well pump cycles, and I see a huge vertical line when use the trim before take off.

You are the man ! I could not buy a bite. I have the xi5 80 I love it ! What time of the day were you fishing ?

Lots of recent post on walleye, check them out all the info is there good luck !

Well written! Sounds like a great time. Just to throw it out there....I know a guy that could help you catch all those fish.

Sounds awesome! I have a tracker (not as nice as yours)with a similar configuration. The deep V has worked great for that rough Stockton water.

Probably should have fished at night under the full moon.

My wife and I marked fish, jigged,spooned,cranked,fished deep and shallow, in the river and in the lake, even the spill way. Not ONE fish! I guess we suck, but we had a good time together,and it was a nice couple days. Thanks for the help.

I fish Stockton for walleye as much as possible, January and February have been my toughest months. I was actually waiting to see who replied to your post. Waterpossum has given you the answer everyone has given me. Later on, after the spawn I can help, but right now I am learning too. The people on this forum have been very good to me. Good luck !

Great job on the video and the catch! Looks like a beautiful day, not much wind .

Love those smallies, my favorite !

I think that would be great ! I think I could learn a lot ! My wife and I are hopefully going to do a little exploring this year maybe we can find a place in between each other to fish. Then we can tag team those toothy critters. Have a great weekend Mike

You can also learn a lot by talking to "Superhero Walleye Hunter" like you Mike ! I found some jumbo chub on the creek, I think I will try some on Pomme this weekend. It's good to see a post from you !

Never mind found it duh. I guess I am looking for fish in too many places, it wasn't computing.

I have been looking on the map I guess I don't know where you mean. Sorry. And a walleye or 3 would be a welcome treat too !

I will be buying one, then I will put some bow fishing line on it, that should do it. Great info !

I will be looking for one for sure. I broke down and bought one of those fancy trolling motors last year, so boat control is for the most part a nonissue. Thanks

I have lost a few too. I like the flicker minnow really well, holographic shad color seems to call the walleye at certain times. Which kind of lure retriever are you using ? I figured those things were just a gimmick, I have heard of the spark plug thing but have never tried it. While jigging a spoon I did get a nice rapala crank bait out of 18 feet of water. It had been there a while, It was covered in green goo and all the hooks were gone. With a good cleaning and some new hooks, I think it is as good as new. Colors not bad either.

Thank you very much! The plans are for Pomme this weekend, the wife wants to try for a muskie for her birthday, then we will start planning a trip to that area. I guess this will be the year for the obscure catch. It should make for some interesting weekends ! Many folks on this forum have been really helpful. I am very thankful for the help. This trip should make a great video !

That would make a good key chain.

I caught more crappie on a #7 blue tiger flicker shad trolling @ 1.5 mph than I have with any other crank bait. You just have to hit it at just the right time .

I think this link should clear it up http://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/regulations/general-hunting-regulations

No rain on this topic for sure, I would rather keep it real. Sounds like a real juicy snip- it of info on the 67 bridge area. The last time that I was in SE Mo everyone had river jets I am not sure how my deep V walleye boat would do ( I fish for walleye on Stockton Lake with this boat ) but it sounds like I could be possible where you mentioned. I mentioned this general location and possible adventure to my wife she said "We could take off a couple weekends and spend the night..." So I figure 7/8 of the battle is over. I will take a look on the map. Hendrickson ?? Thanks for all the help, I just think it would be great to catch a walleye in this area !
