5/8/06 Walleye Fishing

[Wildside88]

Went walleye fishing Tue. night, with a couple of friends. Water was really rolling out of the dam, one of us caught a 20" walleye and I had a few nice ones that we did not land. Not much of a walleye fisherman but it was fun and I can see it being addictitive. Any one on here have any pointers I would be open for any advice, going to try and go again sometime in the next week or so. Thanks

How, where did you fish? I'm asking so I can add to what you're doing which seems to be fairly productive seeing you caught one and hooked several others.

My unexperienced walleye fishing opinion is you done pretty well. I went last night and only had one bite and it felt like a gar bite. Went below the dam. Seen lots of gar surfacing.

We where fishing below the dam on the south side of the lake, started right at dark and fished to around midnight. Like I said I am pretty new to this walleye fishing, alot of casts per fish caught, but it is fun and I hear people pulling out 10+lb fish so that would be a blast to hang one near that size. I am going to pull off my 12lb monofiliment that is on my baitcaster and put on some braided Pro Power, I always used that stuff when I went flats fishing in the gulf and figured I would work well. I am going to try and go in the next week or so, may take the boat and see what we can find.

I have caught exactly two walleye in 20 years. My suporvisor had never caught a trout before, so I took him to Tannycomo last November for a couple of hours. We where fishing spinners at night in outlet NO. 2. I caught a 16 inch brown, he caught a 21-inch walleye. I wish it had been the other way around. So did he, but what do you do?
