Catching Walleye While Bass Fishing

Recommended Posts

Have caught them before on stickbaits in march, 0-5ft shallow running crankbaits in the summer and a jewel pro spider jig with a paca chunk trailer in the fall. All by accident. Wish I would catch them a little more often as they are the best tasting fish you will find in fresh water.

I have NO intent to stir an argument, but here is an ironic point:

MDC and AFG stock walleyes because the natural reproduction is not sufficient to create a fishery. Bass reproduce quite well most years. So which fish do people keep and eat if legal size?

BTW, I catch and release bass, but I eat legal walleyes.

With tongue firmly in cheek.....well...why not eat them ?...after all, you are paying for them. :lol:;)

Nope, skeeter, by sheer weight of numbers, YOU are paying for 'em. So, thank you. I'm happy there are any walleyes at all, this far south. So go ahead and harvest a few walleye fillets. It's GOOD for the population.

But yeah, sometimes those 'eyes are tougher than a bugger to find. They're out there, and in ever-growing numbers, so someone's gotta be catching some at any given time. I figure you bass boys would run across some decent walleyes now and then...hoping to learn something from you. :)

Fished Cops for Kids tourney today and partner caught at 20 incher on a DD22 shad Color. I also talked to a buddy who had caught a really nice one on a shaky head. Ours was within sight of the mill creek ramp. Ended up with 12.5 lbs on the bass. Couldn't get the good ones to the the boat.
