Walleye galore

[top_dollar]

It sure seems like walleye in TR are doing quite well.  There have been lots of reports this year.

Nice job, Rangerman!

Awesome - upper or lower end of the lake?

Had seven more this morning in a short trip...released some good uns again in exchange for some eaters. 

caught them up the white river arm..this morning you had to run deep diving cranks and have the bills grinding and bouncing off the bottom, the would wack them on the ricochet. Blue pearls were very good with the target depth of 18-22 foot at 2.2mph.

Well this evening into dark the walleye continued biting utilizing the same techniques, however the kiddos and the wife were able to catch a few just for fun. It was an absolute banner weekend for me as I have never caught walleye on table rock like I did this weekend. Feel completely blessed by what I was able to experience, not just for numbers caught but the ability to release some good ones as well! As I used to fish bass on table rock thoroughly my addiction to the toothy critters took over. Just can't believe the pattern I was able to put together on them and just modify it slightly from different times of the day to stay on the bite. WOW, is all I got.

I did fish bass a bit and caught some good spots and smallies fishing #5 rippin rap in helinski shad color on gravel points in 20 foot of water, using the same rip jigging technique I use up north for walleye. Cheers to all!

Totally AWESOME! I had a similar experience two years ago near Baxter, but most were just short. I think we caught 10 in 4 hours, with only one legal that we released. It was a hot July day and we caught them on spoons. Great pictures too! You are THE man!

Where is the White River Arm? Is it way up in the river or close to the Kings River. I'm up from Texas on vacation and staying near Shell Knob.

Please provide the GPS coordinates so that I can sit on the point for you in your absence.  I will protect it so that no one else (but us) fishes it.

  The White River arm is the arm that leads up to Beaver Lake.  Shell Knob is just north of where the White and Kings meet.

   Any tips on keeps the cranks down that deep? Are you just using a long length of line out?  Really deep divers? Additional weight?   I have some trouble keeping my cranks down that deep.
