Got to get out on Greer's Today to try to catch some walleye. Fish were caught in the main lake trolling bottom bouncing rigs with crawlers. I took home three and my partner/teacher brought home four. Considering I had caught three in my life before today and was able to double my lifetime catch, it was a great day!

Very nice! I keep saying i'm going to get over there and catch some of those.
That's a fish on my bucket list.
That may not be a crappie, but when you get it on your plate you will have a tough time deciding which you like better. Nice catch!!
I'd swap a mess of crappie for some of those dudes , good eatin right there!
I'd take a mess of them any day! If we had em round here, the crappie would be alot safer.
you mean you eat them :yikes:biggrin
I hereby revoke your day pass to fish on one of my lakes. Unless, I get to taste test the sample.
Hey they ain't nothing wrong with those dudes! Kinda teethy but a fun fight and good table fair.
Nice!!!! Love me some walleye.
Those eat real well! I catch a few saugeye pulling cranks on Maumele.
Great Job Ben...Hard to catch great eating fish you must put your work in for just a few of them. WTG!!! Man
Nice fish! You got me beat. I've only caught 2 in my life. Both out of spring river. One a couple months ago and the other around 15-20 years ago. Fine eating fish.
Nice!
I'm always happy to catch a saugeye but they don't come often enough. The ones I've caught at Maumelle have always been decent size and always in a bay with a crankbait. I've enjoyed catching 10-15 pound drum there too.
Was that on the wildman trip with Jerry?
I will make it up their one day to fish and not swim.
This thread is just reassured what I have herd that them dudes taste yummy
am reading right that these pros would through rocks at crappie for some of those Yankee fish hum I thought y'all were some good ol boys till I read this
(Just funnin y'all)
Great catch sounds like you had a good time and great teacher
Matthew, this was the warm up trip last Friday. The real trip is this Thursday. I really learned from him, and enjoyed it, and would like to try crawler rigs for saugeye on Maumelle. I'll let you know if I can figure them out.Quote:

Lindys makes one try their Web site. It's basically two hooks in line with a spiner in front and you bounce it along the bottom. I like a Berkley swim bait with a bullet jig head slow rolled and bounced off the bottom and never rule out a rapala count down. I have caught several walleye in the saline and ouachita Rivers on those two baits.
Not after any secrets, especially Jerry's (take your GPS). Just kidding, he might cut your ears off and throw you overboard if you do. Never thought about trying saugeye. Might have to go give it a try this summer out there.Quote:

Good answer :cheers2Quote:

BTW, we've got all the right gear!!! :)
I have been using VMC double crawler rigs. They had a bunch at Cabelas clearanced out.Quote:
