Also the requisite 20 catfish and drum... Trolling shad raps, stick baits and bottom bouncing. Nothing caught deeper than 15'. liphunter, Quillback, Rootman and 5 others 8
Members Mr. Walleye Posted August 11, 2019 Author Members Posted August 11, 2019 PS... All males... Again...
lmt out Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 How do you tell the males from the females? I'm seriously asking not trying to be funny. Great job by the way.

Members Mr. Walleye Posted August 11, 2019 Author Members Posted August 11, 2019 What Dutch said... Generally speaks to the health of the population with so many large males being caught. Can't wait to see some of the females... terryj1024 1
Dutch Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I am no walleye fisherman but have been in touch with Bruce (Doc) Samson several times over the years. He is a professional walleye fisherman. I tried to get serious about walleye for a while. Every time I would tell him what I was doing and ask for advice his response was generally that I was not fishing deep enough to find the big females. terryj1024 1
Members Mr. Walleye Posted August 11, 2019 Author Members Posted August 11, 2019 Thank you OD... I would agree about females and depth... But I think it's more temperature. The (lower) thermocline has formed between 27' and 30'. I would imagine there are deeper areas, maybe even spring fed that are home to a great many of the females which typically run larger than the males.
liphunter Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I was reading up on that and the one consistent thing I found, was about the anal orifice. For those who want to stick your eye in there. Says the males are more round and the females is more key shaped. Someone check that out and report back. lol dan hufferd and terryj1024 2 Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...... Or you could just flip a coin???
