Walleye in the Ozarks?

Jim Cox is Mr. Walleye in these parts

Most people arent aware that we have nice Walleyes right here in the Ozarks. Stockton, Bull Shoals, Tablerock, and even the Spring River are just a few of the waters that are home to these tasty fish.
Team Turnage member Jim Cox convinced me earlier this winter that you can catch a limit of Walleye and Sauger on any given morning when the waters' right.
When I slid our G3 Eagle 185 in the water that morning, I couldnt help but think there was no way Walleye or Sauger inhabited these waters. Was I ever wrong! Within the first few minutes, Jim had one on and with the taste of crow in my mouth he proved that yes, we too have "Eyes" in the Ozarks.
Stick baits, jigs, and grubs are effective but live bait such as "slicks" are the choice of most anglers in this area. Split shottin' is the most effective method and when the weather is the most brutal is when the really big ones are caught.
Hook up with us on an upcoming episode and watch Jim show me how to catch some nice "Eyes" on live bait drifting the Spring River in Northern Ark.
