Top Water Walleye.

Post by **Xenos** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 3:22 pm

Iâ€™ve been fishing for quite a while now, but I have never caught a walleye on top water. Not only did I catch 2 today, I caught them between 2 and 3 Pm in shallow water with the sun shining.

THey were probably just cruising, minding their own business when a giant orange crankbait blocked out the sun and then struck them in the head.

Way to go Xenos!

The ol' giant muskie-sized bait walleye surface pattern!

I guess it's a secret no more...

Rack up some more points for TEAM 3!

I have caught four walleye now to date on topwater. One on a spook and the others on rebel pop'r with white tail.

Totaly weird eh

Nice fish though and everytime the fantastic four think they're gaining on us we creep ahead.. i dunno what the other teams are doing.. fishing perhaps

I'm hoping for some smallies tomorrow as i've only had two... i'm culling the LMB now but hoping for a few decent pike... I'm going to leave the muskie and walleye till the fall most likely but you never know what you'll get when you have a bait in the water.

I popped in at eds tonight and picked up some hart spinners.. very nice baits indeed... i like the translucent skirts and red trailer and not that exspensive either. It was kinda quiet though with it not being a thursday

Do you ever get any sleep?..........Guess not....Workin' for the screamin' reels must be nice

That's a really nice fish you have there

Actually this derby is driving me nuts, I canâ€™t sleepâ€¦ I have been reviewing the numbers and notice I can get better points if I target Crappy and Perch. Watch out pan fish, here I come.

Nice one Xenos

I've seen walleye caught on a Zara Spook, walking the dog over 30 ft of water in Crotch Lake. My father in-law was in the boat doing that while I was tubing for smallies and I thought he was crazy. That thing hit the spook, I tought it was a smallie untill I saw the dorsal on it. Just before it got in the net, it snapped one side of a treble hook. Makes a nice "the one that got away story" but it surprised the heck out of me.

I thought this post was a joke, especially when I saw the pic with the musky lure! Can't say I ever caught a walleye on topwater. I'm lucky if I can catch walleye at all here in Western NY.

That's one nice eye you got there Xenos. I've only caught on on top water before and it was a complete fluke. Last minute bass excursion on Lake Clear with a cheap rod. Top of the reel broke, popper was just sitting in about 20ft of open water. I went to pull it in with my hands and as soon as I touched it a 20incher was all over

it hurt like hell bringing it in hand over hand. I like your way better.

good luck and great fishin.

Nice one Xenos! Can't say I've had the pleasure of catching a topwater Wallie. But that's likely due to the fact, I spend a limited amount of my time tossing topwater gear.

Just made targeting Bass a little more appealing now
