Calling in sick with WALLEYE FEVER!
My buddy and ace Delaware River guide Mike invited me to fish for walleye with him this week. With an eye on the weather, we agreed that today was the day, so I took a much needed mental health day and met Mike at Pond Eddy at 11:00. Action was not fast, but it was steady. We managed about a dozen walleye between us, plus two smallmouths and a bunch of slammer fallfish in the 12-15 inch range (including an improbable stretch of four in a row from the exact same spot). Nothing really big, but Mike did send me home with two walleye for the table. I caught all my fish on a black and white bucktail jig tipped with a Gulp minnow. Mike did all his damage with jigs tipped with live bait, including shiners, lampreys, and some beefy creek chubs. It started POURING rain around 3:00, but we stuck it out until 5:00 when it got too dark.
It's not over yet. If you can stand the cold, get out there!

Now the sun is just starting to climb up over the treetops,
And it's gonna be a beautiful day, that's plain to see.
But I won't be around at all, so don't even bother to call,
Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be:
GONE FISHIN'
