Lake Patoka cabin and fishing question

[SteveM4A1]

Walleye huh??? any size to them and are they hard to find. Didn't know Patoka was a walleye lake also. Thanks Tech

The dnr has been stocking them for a few years now. I have caught smaller ones before, but these were over 3 lbs. Had several in that weight class too. We caught them while bass fishing, so they weren't too difficult to catch. Had several follow the lure straight back to the boat, but a color change got them to grab it. I've never specifically targeted walleye before, but from my understanding they might have been up on these points spawning, even though the water seemed a bit warm. But I'm not a walleye fisherman. They were fat though.

Once you start to catch some of those three pounders and fillet them and eat them you will turn in to a walleye fisherman real fast. They are some of the best tasting fish I've ever had.

haha I bet. We put them back though, so hopefully in the next few years there will be a healthy population that we can start harvesting. Sure would have been nice to take this crankbait sucker home though! Just a tad bit big for the livewell...
