Comment by John Sheehan on August 9, 2015 at 6:06am: So a Saugeye is a hybrid Walleye / Sauger Allen ? How big can they get?

Comment by Allen Morgan on August 8, 2015 at 6:29pm: I've never caught a Walleye. But, there's a lake that I fish that is stocked with Saugeyes. And, we have native Saugers in the river I fish. I haven't caught any of those in years, but that one Winter that I was catching them, was a hoot! Most 1/8 jigheads with Twister tail grubs, but sometimes on minnows. And, I've caught a really small Sauger on a Chartreuse-over-White Clouser with my 5wt fly rod.

Comment by John Sheehan on August 8, 2015 at 8:59am: Welcome Art Cole , Allen Morgan ,Jim Gronaw, Dick Tabbert, Slip Sinker and David Eitutis.! Look forward to your input on catching the good sized great eating Walleye!

Comment by John Sheehan on August 8, 2015 at 8:20am: Thanks for joining Jim Gronaw .I like your Walleye pics !

Comment by John Sheehan on August 7, 2015 at 2:26pm: Instead of putting the shot below the floating jighead ,in the past I just split shotted the rig and held it in a channel from shore for perch during low water .

Comment by John Sheehan on August 7, 2015 at 2:23pm: Last Walleye I caught was in an Eddy by the fastest current in the area.

Comment by dick tabbert on August 7, 2015 at 2:17pm: John we put a sinker on the bottom and tie the floating jig head about 18 to 20 inches above that, but the river here where we fish is from 3 to 5 foot deep and lots of time a fast current..

Comment by John Sheehan on August 7, 2015 at 2:13pm: Thanks for that input Dick ! I have to try the floating jig head approach on Walleyes ,Funny, I have caught perch that way using a mister Twister Exude Hellgrammite .

Comment by dick tabbert on August 7, 2015 at 1:35pm: Almost as good tasting as perch and 3 or 4 times more fun to catch. Most the river fishing is done with a floating jig heads with a twister tail on it. Lake fishing is some king of weight forward spinner with a crawler on it. I have caught 100's with 1/4 oz jigs.

Comment by John Sheehan on August 7, 2015 at 9:24am: Shad Raps, Husky Jerks, Keitech 'easy shiner' spinner rigs .These are the lures that have caught Walleye from 18-24" for me in Rivers and Lakes.
