I have noticed that too. I just started really targeting them this past couple months and it has been that way. A lot have been very slender with not much girth. I am going to start to experiment with some larger offerings. There’s definitely no shortage of them that’s for sure. I feel that whenever larger fish are taken they are usually harvested. When the water was super low in the fall I saw more than a few nice eyes belly down in the middle of the day while fishing for Muskies and smallies. I’ll update on the progress here.

Thanx, I read the reports from my guide up in NY and it's always the same when it comes to walleye. Rarely and I mean rarely do they score a large walleye.
Definitely no shortage with NJ stocking 300,000 walleye annually.

Tons of cookie cutters but always willing to bite. I do find the color variations in the walleyes to be curious. Only ever seen those blue patterns in the river. Losing jigs is annoying. I try to stay as vertical as possible while drifting. Spot locking is a sure fire way to get snagged up.

Absolutely, can’t be mad at hungry fish! Yes that’s always ideal, but the river was ripping and they were in tight, in small pockets.
