Have been trying to find walleye for the past year or so, and yesterday was the closest I have gotten to finally adding them to the fishing list haha.

The fish wasn't big and it bit on a texas rigged soft plastic lure meant for smallmouth bass. We fished the upper Delaware River in NY state.

We caught some smallmouth bass, a sunfish, and quite a few large fallfish during the float trip. We also lost another walleye. Other lures used included spinners, crankbaits, and grubs. Also saw what looked like at least a 19" Rainbow trout cruising lazily around. There were also suckers swimming around in spots.

Except the lost walleye, there were no keeper fish on this trip, but it was extremely fun and I can't wait to go back again when I get my own kayaks or boat! The elusive walleye will be caught this year!
That walleye skunk must be contagious lol, I have it too. That's a good trip. Yea a friend pulled a 26in rainbow out in northern walpack a week or two ago. There are big uns still.
What were u floating down stream in?
