 It's magical how they can all be 17 1/2 to 17 7/8. AGFC will measure them if they are anything close to 18 inches. I don't even keep the squeakers. Not like I catch a bunch of walleye. 

I have thoughts on walleye. Not popular ones 😉.

I fished Saturday morning around Campbell Point and Sunday Morning from Shell Knob Bridge to a few miles up the Kings.

Saturday Morning I had 12 Walleye spooning docks with 2 at 19".

caught them in all different age classes from 6" to 19", pretty unbelievable.

Not sure where the surge came from but it sure tastes good.

Is the Keitech the new Ned for you? Pretty hard to put it down this year.

It has been, it has slowed down for me lately, we're entering the time of year that I start yearning for November.  Love that cold water.

I caught my first ever walleye a few weekends ago on a ned rig. I hope to catch more in the future. This conversation is motivating.

What’s wrong with walleye?

One of out top local guides had a 30 plus walleye day earlier this week. Keeper after keeper up to 6 lbs and said his clients lost at least 1/2 a dozen big keeps 5 pounds or over at the boat. 

Said they were on a short string being so shallow they just had to much poop and his guys would just horse them. Told them to slow down at least a dozen times but they just tried to winch them in. 

 All were released. 

Deepest fish at 15' with most coming at 8/13 feet, all on crawlers. He simply could not believe how shallow.  Came out of the Shell Knob area, on a drop shot. Said he was sure you could have casted to them but when in Rome. 

Good Luck

Guys this walleye deal is becoming very good on the rock. It is better every trip for me. Shhhhhhh!!!!

Starting 3 years ago it became more than common knowledge that the fishery was vastly improving for walleye.   

Not much of a secret anymore especially with the number of crawler fishermen we have for spotted bass here, you are naturally going to catch them. 

What truly amazed me is their over the entire water column. Sometimes suspended under deep docks, sometimes suspended at the thermocline, or on the bottom at most any depth. Really not a wrong pattern. 

Bo wanted a stocking program for bass on Table Rock for most of his life and never got it. Arkansas stocking walleye up the river systems has shown that walleye stocking works.  I think they still say natural recruitment is close to zero, so I'm sure happy with AFG putting them in the Rock.

Looking like the same pattern we started picking up on last year in Stockton.

Glad to see MDC is starting to produce something worthwile.
