Nice to hear you guys are doing well up there. Fished a few areas but didn't hit up Brady on wednesday after work.. Can't wait to start laying the smackdown on the 'eyes and hybrids.

Do any of you ever keep any walleyes?

You should,.............THE best eating freshwater fish.

And,...........NJF&W can, & will, always stock more.

I ALWAYS love to hear there is plenty of fish like walleye to go around. Maybe some day F&G will discover a place called the Raritan River and maybe some day it will get some fish below Rt. 206. Just my rant Mark B. A river so healthy striped bass spawn there in the spring and has a decent shad run also, but for some reason always over looked by F&G when it comes to stocking of fish.

I beg to differ.

Below Rt. 206, F&G looked over a lot of fish,.........63,829 that swam up the fish ladder in 11 years.

Now, does anyone keep walleyes?

By way of background, years ago I fished Quebec and caught a bunch of 14 -16" (or so) walleye. They were delicious. One of the best eating fish I ever had.

Last year I kept a 7lb walleye and to be honest it didn't taste very good. I don't know if it was the age of the fish, the fact it was from Jersey and not Canada but it wasn't very good. Every other walleye I've caught since then has been released.

Maybe if I get one that is just legal I'll try it again, but anything over 20" will be released.
