Had this discussion with my son on the boat right after I caught her. Yesterday the walleye, and last week a big pike flipping docks. 2 fish species known for colder water, and of above average size, hanging out in the shallows. Yet I struggle to find keeper bass here during the dog days of summer. 2 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted August 5, 2018 Super User Posted August 5, 2018 Ive caught 3 walleyes that were 28-29 inches long while bass fishing. None were in water more than 3-4 feet deep. All three came between 11am and 4pm. Two came off a dock and one was on a rock pile so shallow it had a buoy to keep boats from hitting it. I also had a 25 incher that I caught on a topwater bait. Just like bass, walleyes don’t read the books telling them how they are supposed to act. 5 Quote

Super User Munkin Posted August 25, 2018 Super User Posted August 25, 2018 Caught 3 one spring; 24, 26, and 27 inches on a white spinnerbait. Couldn't keep any because no fish over 20 inches during what I guess is the spawn. Allen 1 Quote

The slot creel on the lake I caught this one on is 3 between 14-16" and 1 over 24" SE Wisconsin has a 18" minimum. I threw a number of meals back this spring because they were under 18". Quote

Selective harvest by letting the bigger spawning stock go and eating the littler ones. @slonezp Great walleye!!!! 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 Sometimes it's all about the thermocline too... I've caught walleye in 1' of water in the middle of August while burning squarebills over the rocks. They hangout in places just like the bass more than we think. 2 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 You know once you pay for that walleye mount you are going to catch a bigger one. ? Quote

Next one on the wall will be a perch. 13" is my PB as of now but bigger ones roam local waters Quote
