Walleye Fishing
Message:
I was curious what information you guys have for walleye fishing. Baits, set ups, what pound test, what type of set up to use? I received some information from a friend that there are some good numbered of walleye in a certain area and he told me to fish it hard in the middle of march since they'll be spawning. I just dont know what to use for bait, or line or what. I was going to just go buy an average 6 foot rod with a decent reel on it. Could you guys help me with what pound test, what type of bait or set up to use for walleye? I'm lost and never fished for them, please let me know.

Are you still in CT? It sounds like you're expecting to cast into open water 2 weeks from now. I hope you're right, but as of right now mid-March is too early for walleye to spawn (water temp is supposed to be 42-54 degrees) You can use pretty much any type of setup (braid w/flouro leader) & any bait that can be fished at the depth you're targeting. They should be most active between pre-sunset & dawn.

Hi cthonkerheaven!
As an FYI -> ALL the Walleye waters in Ct. (per Ct. Angler's Guide) are closed after the last day in Feburary -> Because they may also hold Trout.
Don't know who your friend is that told you to fish for Walleye in the middle of March -> But he's wrong and that would be poaching on waters out of season :!:
The following waters having Walleye are "Closed to All Fishing" from the 1st day of March till the 3rd Saturday in April :!:
Batterson (Closed to fishing Oct. 31)
Beach
Coventry
Mashapug
Lake Saltonstall
Saugatuck Res.
Squantz
Go up on the Ct. DEP web site and read the 2011 Angler's Guide and even print it off if you can.
Only Pan Fish waters are still open!
