i cant stand when ppl throw their garbage all over the place.

we should take it into our own hands and taser them

ok.....maybe someone should talk about walleye now, all the litter talk is depressing.

Ok, what's everyone's preferred walleye tactic? I usually throw some smaller cranks on when I'm out trolling and can't seem to find any musky. One of my biggest walleye to date out of the Allegheny was caught 8 feet from the shore though. Just past the drop off. It was pushing 24inches, but it wasn't super fat. It was surprising to catch one that size that close to shore. Later in the season I found out why. There was an absurd ammount of bait fish at that spot.

I have had some good days below Emsworth Dam using dark color plastic worms of various sizes; both in the rip rap as well as off gradual shorelines.. I think i was fishing in March most of these times :/

So far the few I've caught were on shiners/jig.

One of my favorite ways to catch eyes on the mon is with hair jigs that I tie up myself usually with some flash or something added, had a 25 fish day in the fall with nothing but hair jigs

I don't walleye fish but a few times a year but I like to use. Chartruse jig heads with a white mister twister tippied with a small fathead minnow jig head weight depends on how fast the current is where I'm fishing

im ready for the time change so i can hit water after work for a few hours a couple nights during the week its coming very soon

if im using bait i like to take my umbrella net to the river with me to catch natural bait, shiners and shad. works real well as long as you can catch some of them

pm sent toad.

I will stick to a Hot-n-Tot in firetiger color!

+1....caught the biggest walleye of my life on a firetiger hot n tot last summer....the original hot n tot with the metal lip that is.

Anyone here troll any of the local rivers for eyes?

i do both cast and troll them hot n tots are great lures

is that the magic color cousin

Musky Maniac, I've had a few walleyes get snagged going after my depthraiders. Some were barely bigger than the lure, and just striking at the sides of it.

Beerman, I troll with hot n tots all the time. Hot n tots, Wiggle warts, and jointed Shad raps are my go to walleye cranks for trolling. White, Chartruse, Fire Tiger, Gold/black, and Silver/black are my favorite colors. Get em in all sizes. They work for musky too.

Tull, I troll the Allegheny a lot as it's almost at my doorstep. Even in the city, I wouldn't want to stray too far from the water.  I've had my share of luck down here. I catch more sauger than walleye, but I've pulled out some sturdy river eyes. I don't run into too many other fishermen on this stretch, and I think that plays a part in my success. I'm constantly dealing with pleasure boaters though. The current can be a challenge sometimes when trolling smaller cranks on the open river.

My dad was lucky enough to pick up a white/chart hot n tot with a rattle. He got it as a freebie from a Shimano booth some years ago and it's stamped with their logo.  It has caught me several bass, walleye, and musky. I almost lost it once on a snag. It somehow floated back up after my line snapped. Oh yea!
