27 1/2 walleye that was a nice one! Don't think a man would do any good pulling cranks in middle fork?

I saw several pulling cranks up devils fork 2 Saturdays ago but never witnessed a hookup.

I would love to catch ONE! Been fishing for years for walleye in the local lakes and never got a bite yet. I must be doing something wrong.

Think I will put in at Stewart access and try my luck. At lease maybe I will be far enough down in the Holler to get out of these gale force winds.

When I first got my boat a couple years back I tried spider rigging in cove creak with a bighead jig with a midsouth tubes on it and tipped with a minnow in 30fow and about 26 feet down (because that's where the fish were on my graph). I was hoping the fish were crappie. Turned out to be walleye. I had never caught one before. But ended up leaving with limit of them. Every fish was within half inch size of each other. And just barely keepable....but they were. I ain't been back and tried it again. May have just got lucky! But thot I would pass on this info in case it wasn't luck!

Ive caught many of them on Greers throwing a jerkbait for bass, on a bass tube fishing for smallmouth and especially a carolina rig. Go in April there is a LOT of the fish that spawn on the main lake and secondary points in April. A lot of the walleye in Greers now have Yankee blood in them and are not the natural strain indiginous to the Little Red and are lake spawners. They spawn later than the Natural strain.
