Hey Guys, does anyone know whats the deal with the Oak Eyes? Every spring it seems that someone hauls a giant eye off the pier and every fall I read reports of guys running into them.
Now this tells me two things: 1. The walleye in the oak can be enormous, 2. There are schools that come to feed and spawn in the spring and fall. Now they should be able to be targeted with reasonable success.
My question is do any of you guys target these fish specifically, even amidst the trout and salmon? If so what do you do to catch them? I have some ideas of places they might sit upriver, but other than that I am clueless as to location and tactic.
I am not looking for secrets or honey holes, just a nudge in the right direction. Feel free to PM if you don't want others to see the info.
Also I am a hardcore trout and salmon guy, I just want to expand my horizons. (This should answer the inevitable, "why the heck do you want walleye with all the salmon around" question.)
Thanks!
