Nows the time to get the dandys. I've been seeing boats out but don't know how good they're doing. I've never fished walleye this time of year. I usually wait till June. But maybe I need to get a boat out there and try.

I don't have a boat so I only go when invited by my friend who is a fishing nut. Has to be my all time favorite fresh water fish to eat....LOVE THEM.

Yes they are delicious! I'm like I said I'm new to trying to fish for them this time of year but I know where guys get them. Trying to get my buddy to take his boat out.

Where about do you guys live. I have fished them in the columbia and banks lake. We did really well in the late spring and early summer.

This time of year until early summer/post spawn, we've always had the best luck trolling a single nightcrawler looped a couple times on a single hook with a green or red bead covering the knot on the hook. That's it. And go as slow as your trolling/kicker can take you. You want 1 or 2 splitshots about 18" above the rig. They bite light so, be prepared to let out a little line when they hit.
