Around my neck-of-the-woods
Lake Erie has a great walleye population
Had to go to the Doctor so drove into a town about 15 miles away
Dunkirk NY

Was impressed to see a mural getting painted. Talked to the artist, said he'd be done today

Walleye may be my favorite fish to eat. There's a good reason they call them "poor man's lobster."


Eh...wot?

Great pic of the mural. I love walleye and crappie. If I had to choose it would be walleye.

Walleye is very good. Gets the stamp of approval from this deep-South fish-eater.

But, don't have any this far south. frown

We just have clean tasting bass...

We eat a lot of walleye here too, Turtledale. That is one nice mural! I haven't seen too many murals I've liked. I feel guilty to say that, and maybe they were painted by kids or something, but that walleye is nice!

I eat a lot of it….fish Erie a half dozen times a summer. Always limit out. Good eating fish.

But walleye isn’t my #1 favorite…..finishes behind bluegills, crappie, native brook trout, flounder and halibut.

Nevah had one. Guess I'll have to get a fire hydrant jig.

That's a cool looking mural, but not very realistic. Walleye are great eating and fun to catch, but you'll never see one break the surface like that. That appears to be a bass transitioning to a walleye or vise versa.

May fly hatch is on right now. Got my limit of eyes this morning. 8 feet of water. They were breaking the surface all around the boat feeding on May flies. Besides this next couple weeks I rarely see them break the surface.

This one appears to be leaping out of the water like a hooked trout or bass. Hooked walleye tend to fight like a dish rag or an old boot. Cool mural anyway.

There is no better eating fish than a walleye.


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

‘Cept maybe a 12-14 inch yellow perch pulled through the ice of a NE South Dakota slough…. Only thing i can think of.

Walleye is excellent dinner fare,we eat a fair amount of it.Yellow Perch and Crappie I think have better flavor,all three are excellent....

Never say never! I was casting a 5 inch stick bait to some shallow rocks one night on Mille Lacs and had a 24 inch walleye jump a foot out of the water when I set the hook on it. It's the only one I ever seen do it . I figured because of the water only being 2 feet when it hit it's momentum took it clear of the surface. It was a fun night.

Hey Turtledale, what part of NY are you in? I stopped in Sunset Bay Beach on my way back from Canada, talked to some locals and they were telling me about a big walleye tourney held there.
