fdny76 -- I live near and fish just outside of Braddocks a lot and have caught many northerns there, but never a walleye.

Where have you found walleye in/near Braddocks?

thanks

Jam I was suprised myself, late morning, sun shining 82' lightly stained water. We got him on the West side of the bay 10yds south of the parkway bridge right on the ledge there from 3ft-11 fow. He was only a 14 incher but a Walleye just the same.

Hey fdny76 -- thanks for the comeback! I know that spot very well -- go by there all the time.

I never would have guessed it, but maybe walleye spawn somewhere up Salmon Creek?

Keep up the good work,

JAM
