I caught them all spring up until about a month ago. People are still catching them sporadically in the summer trolling crank baits and drifting night crawlers but it will be fall before they are hot and heavy again. send me a pm in about a month and I will let you know what I have going on.
I've never tried fishing for Walleye's at Hefner, but it it were me I would try drift fishing with a Lindy Rig using night crawlers as bait during the summer months.
Where do you fish for them at? do I need to target a particular terrain I tried fishing points and humps the only one i ever caught was in a flat with weed bottom in 6 fow on a crappie minnow . Is it true that they hold near the bottom ?Quote:

We used to catch walleye in Kansas by using a 3/8 oz jig head with a night crawler on it. The best fishing seemed to be in the standing timber, but, also caught them trolling Hot n Tot crankbaits in about 17' deep water.
Sparky - Both Reaper and Marv are right just using different techniques. I fish the NE corner of Hefner and the dam.
I believe that NE corner is shallow am i right ? The damn u catch them jigging the rocks? What about live baits?Quote:

is it time yet to fish for walleye?
I would be fishing at night in 5-15 fow with cranks or acrawler with a good size blade to send out a good thump for them to home in on.
Im headed out now gonna give it a try at hefner
Good luck. Let us know how you did.
Sparky, I tried last night in a couple of my spots and only managed to catch crappie and catfish. I did catch one labor day weekend in about 6 fow but only one in about 4 hours. I would think it will start soon and I will let you know when I or one of my buddies start smacking them.
Yes
fished six hours caught one sand bass very small . Trolled crankbaits and had no luck with walleye so i went for crappie and caught one sandie
