Any body know if the walleye are do anything yet on Greers ?
Not yet.
Have been catching a few mixed in with The White bass in the Mouth of middle fork and on the flats.The Key is find the white bass and shad,Jigging spoon's,1/4 -1/2 oz roostertails"white".A good friend caught one just 1/2 in short of the slot limit.
27 1/2 walleye that was a nice one! Don't think a man would do any good pulling cranks in middle fork?Quote:

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!Quote:

Caught two last spring on a rubber worm on back to back casts while camping at Old Highway 25. Them things are tasty!
Nasty looking maybe, but really fine table fare. Best eating freshwater fish there is.Quote:

48-50 around here. Sounds like it should start happening soon!
What I was thinking. I'll give them another shot next week. I think it was the weather. It was way to nice :)Quote:

That was probably a 14 pound walleye:) You ever tried the saline river up around Benton?Quote:
