How does walleye taste and were you fishing off the nicodemous bridge and what type of setup did you use with the shiners (Vincent Fick 12/16/2025 10:30am)

I use tripple rattles and an 8 oz sinker. This walleye tasted great, the bigger one I got last year was tough. (Jordan Marcus 12/16/2025 12:39pm)
