Late Night Wilhelm Walleyes
Hey Guys, I have a chance to hit the lake for some late night fishing and wanted to target some walleyes. Don't know the 1st thing about fishing for them so lay it on me. Speed, depth, etc, etc.
Thanks
Ryan

The fish bite was slow last night on Wilhelm. My friend and I only caught a crappie and small sized largemouth between us. We were loading our boat back onto the trailer at 10 P.M. Two anglers coming into the dock after us stated they caught a huge 9 pound walleye and a largemouth bass. After hearing all of the stories on Lake Wilhelm about how large the walleye are getting we had to see it for ourselves. I am not sure if it was a 9lb walleye, but it was 22-25 inches in length and the mouth was open nearly the diameter of a baseball. He stated there is a sunken road bed at the launch we were at and he caught it off of a deep diving crankbait in 6' of water at 4PM.
There is no doubt about it. There are huge walleye in Lake Wilhelm.
Anybody know the exact location of the sunken road bed at launch 1?

3 mph is prop wash behind your boat, if you think your going slow, go slower. With this heat and much past thier prime (spawn) the walleye will eat but it isn't because they have too. Slow! I would bottom bounce live bait two ways here three way with crawlers, and a 1/4oz to 3/8oz jig or egg sink w/a shiner, large fathead, 3-5" sucker, trying to stay as light as I could. Watch your rod you want tick...nothing.....tick......nothing.....tick, with some practice you will get this down pat. keep your line tight.

The guy who caught the walleye emailed the pittsburgh post gazette. This was in the paper on 8/5/11 Lake Wilhelm (Mercer County): A few walleyes were boated on crawler harnesses in 12-14 feet. Hunter Cascio of Greenville boated a 28-inch, 6-pound 4-ounce walleye. Read more: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11217/1165198-358.stm#ixzz1UaabCmDS

Have you ever caught a 6 pound walleye?

the state record walleye is like 17 pounds... that is a giant and most of us will never catch one half that size, a 6lbs walleye still is impressive ..but realistically thats like reporting you caught a 5 pound bass or a 40 inch musky... its just not that omg
not ripping on anyone just saying

Yup, LOOK AT ME! I catch so many big fish that it's no big deal, and I don't have to brag about it. And I have to point that out, at least once a day

It's a FISHING REPORT, not a record book!
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The closer we adhere to the Holy Bible and the US Constitution (as it was written) the closer we get to the model that made America great. The great American experiment worked, human nature just got in the way.

did you tell someone you caught the fish? I'm willing to bet that you did. I'm not starting an argument but if someone feels the need to talk about the fish they caught it's their business. I talk about the fish I catch. If you're not proud of what you do then you're a ****ty fisherman.....whether it be 6 pounds or 1 pound.

a 9 pound walleye would be like 30 inches... some freaks out there but not likely just saying :)
I once saw an Erie walleye being measured and weighed ; 30" and 10 lbs . It looked like an abnormal foootball ! I hesitated writing this , but it's true . Not attempting to top your story , just responding to " some freaks out there " . Erie produces many 10 lb 'eyes , but I believe Desaronto , Canada might produce larger numbers of 'eyes in excess of 10 lbs , based on 2 spring fishing trips and what was witnessed . Definitely a hog factory . Try a trip !
