Fish To Eat

[Martin]

As it was mentioned in another thread by Mr. Babler, the White Bass are biting really good now. Something else I thought I'd throw in is that yesterday, (Thursday), I was pulling / dragging nightcrawlers around the lower lake trying to catch a walleye, the really huge bluegill are biting. Not the "big" bluegills. I'm talking about those "huge" bluegills. Plenty big enough to keep and clean. Another bonus was that the White Bass were eating crawlers yesterday too. I was fishing the flats from point 7 to point 5 and trying to stay in about 27 feet of water, which seemed to be the best depth. I tried trolling but never got much going, so I changed to a crawler and spinner. If I'd have had a fairly heavy Road Runner jig head with me, I'd have tried that with a piece of crawler. Caught a few bass also which all went back into the lake. Never did catch a walleye. Maybe next time !

Martin: Do not feel alone. I haven't had a great day this year for walleye. One here, one there, and none over 22 - 23 inches. Good heavens, the best walleye I've seen this year was an accident fish a bass fisherman caught on a spinnerbait in early April. I intend to give another try this weekend. I'll report one way or another.

Hey! I accidently caught a large walleye in April on a spinnerbait during a bass tournament. The other guy is stealing my story...and I have pics!

techo: I had forgotten you did the same thing. See there, you have thrashed me (so far) this year at walleye fishing.

Guys, my only great (or even good) days for walleye this year have all been at Bull Shoals. Our friend that lives up in the Big M area is one of the best at catching TR walleyes, and I don't think he'd say he'd had a good year. Not like previous years anyway.

Techo, I'd love to see that photo of your big walleye. I know lots are caught by accident. That's how I got the bug. lol.

Yah, lets see it techo. I bet that was a cool surprise.

Hey techo, that spinnerbait action wasn't in March was it? (with that snow/sleet mess?)

I don't remember all of the details, other than it was feisty and caught near Mill Creek.

Actually, I did some digging and I think it was hot and windy in May. So it wasn't me in March. I think there were two wallye in May, but I thought I was hooked on a log and shook the first one off.

I have never walleye fished, however I will be at bull shoals in two weeks. I will be with my wife and 3 kids, so I will only have mornings and evenings available.

If any of you could give me some pointers that would be great. I have a gps fish finder with detail and can use this with some help from anyone willing to give it.

Thanks,

David
