Title: Walleye on Roosevelt
Post by: WCTaxidermy on September 06, 2011, 09:06:17 PM: Took my son in law out fishing today to introduce him to Walleye fishing. He has never caught a fish before let alone a Walleye. Needless to say he is hooked and now I can't keep him out of my boat. We were 3 short of two limits today. Weather was great and we about had the lake to ourselves. John

One day when you are not busy, drive to Moses Lake. Find some where to access the bank of the lake and throw a nightcrawler with a chartruse corky with a sinker heavy enough to cast out about 12-18'' above the hook and you will catch a Walleye. It is really just about that simple!

She goes out with me quite a bit Keith, but evertime I take her, she out fishes me too. :dunno: I figured I had a chance taking her husband who has never fished for walleye before, but obviously I was wrong. LOL. Oh well it's fun to take them out and nice to see them catching fish. :tup:

All the ones I've caught fight like a wet sock but they sure taste excellent! A buddy from work just headed east this weekend - I think to Banks and Roosevelt and he is going to fish for walleyes for the 1st time ever - so I set him with a bunch of my gear and took him to 3 rivers and loaded him with tackle! After I the gear I sent him over there with I sure hope he gets something! I guess I should have just given him some lead, a yella corkie and some worms! :chuckle:

How/what were you fishing with for them WC? Jiggin, trolling, drop shottin??
