walleye?

[Mark]

I know this is a crappie board, but I think some of you would possibly have some good info on the walleye in shenengo. I fish shenengo a lot for crappie. I have a camp site reserved for late May with my brother from out of town. I'd like to supplement our crappie diet with some walleye. Any of you fellas got a couple good walleye spots you might share with me? If you do not want to give up your spot I would understand. Maybe PM me? Thanks.

Mark, I never fished shenango for walleye. Sorry can't help you.

Take your crappie poles and forget about the walleyes. The lake has gone down hill walleye wise in the last few years.

You "may" luck into one on any of the bars in the lake. The time of year your going to be there try the part of the lake north of the causeway. Try near the old railroad beds trolling , you may pick some up if you can keep the tiger muskies off your lures.


The lake has very little natural reproduction of walleye. Most will move into the rivers at each end of the lake to spawn. It hasn't been stocked for close to 4 or 5 years. I usually put in around 60 days or so on the lake for walleyes and the last 2 years have been so bad that this year I won't fish it for walleyes, just a waste of time.

Thanks sparkie. I got the info that walleye were there from the lake map I bought a couple years ago. I will heed your advice and eat crappie for dinner while camping. I want my brother to catch fish, not waste time, so I will fish for the abundant crappie.

Shenango is good for channel cats too, and fun to catch, plus put up a good fight.

Mark, altho the eyes aren't there in big numbers, you may catch a few with a lot of effort and a little luck. In may, troll worm harnesses up by the sand bars near golden run. Now i'm not promising you that you'll catch fish, but thats where i've got most of mine. You'll see the pontoon guys in that area. Follow their pattern. I dont use boards, snapweights, or any of that complex stuff. Just longline troll as this water isn't deep at all. Good luck and Dont ask us crappie guys no more walleye questions.:D
