A couple of years ago I purchased the In-Fisherman book about Fishing for Smallmouth bass. I never catch any small mouth and figured I need to learn more about where the live and how to catch them.
I did read the book and it talked about Walleye's being in the same spot as smallmouth. The walleyes are said to run the smallies out of the favorite spots and different times of the year.
Looks like Ray is finding the Walleyes. Those eyes are good eating Ray. Very pure white meat that falls off the bones. And they fillet nice too. It's easy to fillet them up and get almost all the rib bones out of the fiilet.
Good luck on the new thing you have going.

I don't know if this is the proper way or not, but it has worked for me the last 5-6 weeksYes I am just vertical jiggin them right off the bottom. If you have a decent graph, just mark the bait fish and the fish will be there. It might be walleye, white bass, stripers or smallies. You just never know what the arches are on the graph. I am having a ball so far.
