You all might as well be talking Chinese talking about walleye fishing haha. No walleye to be found down here where I'm at unfortunately. I hear they're great eating!
Walleyes are over-rated table fare in my opinion. Sauger eat much better and perch are superb. Crappies and sunfish are right up at the top of my menu preference though for the white-meated fresh-water fish. Salmon and Lake Trout are right up there for fish with red meat.
While we were visiting Chinatown in Honolulu a while ago I bought a pound of salted, dried fish that was something else. When I start getting into the lakers and salmon I have every intention of trying a recipe for a similar finished product I found. The fish I bought was salted heavily and simply dried. I'm planning to salt some laker strips, give them a short smoke and then finish them in the dehydrator.
The green baits shown here probably won't go very far in getting the walleyes, sauger, perch, crappies or sunfish though. lol Those clear paddletails certainly will though.
