[QUOTE="Allen, post: 344680, member: 389"] While I am a dyed in the wool walleye fan, I can understand and appreciate the diverse opportunities we have here in ND. Within 60 minutes of Bismarck I can find walleye, pike, LM and SM bass, trout, muskies, perch, bluegill, or catfish and if I want to go up to 2 hrs away from home I can add European zander and Asian carp to the mix. That being said, I find bass anglers to be at least as annoying as the walleye snobs. I don't fish walleye for their reputation as a fighting fish and quite honestly I don't know anyone who does. For that I'd be chasing pike up here. Walleyes are more rewarding table fare and they are a finicky SOB at times, that's why I primarily target them. I'd go back to Florida again and chase tarpon and sharks that I can't eat if all I cared about was the fight of the species I chase. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] p.s. I want to hear more about this targeting of salmon in the spring, was that in ND. I've caught numerous salmon in the spring and early summer months on the Missouri, but I've never targeted them.
