jig head live minnow works for me

Hhmm very interesting .. none of you every eat'em???
As far as my technique go's it depend's on weather it's night or day . I find night time to be the best time for walleye, maggot's or live shinner's or even goby's if available, work like a magnet .
Trolling and X-rapp etc work's but I've had no luck with it though..

They are good eating!

He in central pa, our walleye are alittle different than most other places in the country, our river averages about 5 feet and our walleye act alot like bass. Here we use live bait, stonecats, minnows or even hellgromites work well for our river walleye. as for artificial lures most people have had great luck with rattle baits and spinners. As for eating them i dont but some people say they are one of the best tasteing fish to eat.

Ross what lakes you fish in CT Gardner, Squantz, Batterson?

 

[ROSS]

BLUEGILL:
I fish SQUANTZ , CANDLEWOOD mostly for walleye .sometime's you get luck and find some in the housatonic river even lake Lillinonha but SQUANTZ is were it's at . nothing bigger then a 5hp motor is allowed on squantz so it real peacefull and the walleye get every aggressive on period's of consistent hot weather

STONECAT:
That would be wild to see one tail dance like a bass ...
hellgomite's are an over looked bait even trout nail'em hard .

Love the taste, but I never catch them. I am a great bass fisherman, and I hold my own with a lot of other fish, but the walleye eludes me.
