I've been seeing walleye where I take the dog to run around and do her biz in the morning. Already had a rod & reel - stopped by a feed & seed store for a few extras for Dad's tackle box.
Made a few casts with a plastic minnow = no fish. In fact, walleye seemed to be mocking me. Made an epic cast... got the lure halfway back to shore and what looked like a walleye jumped close to where the lure had landed.
Another smaller one followed the bait up to shore. Sat there watching while I retrieved the lure right in front of it. Must not have looked too appetizing.
I did buy a bag of plastic minnows packed in something that's allegedly appealing to fish... hopefully fish got the memo on that.
It's been over 30 years since I've fished - caught a couple throw back bass then. So my fishing mojo is rudimentary at best. I'll keep trying, though. SW
There's actually a walleye in the pic. It was swimming away & I just had time for a quick snap.
