Objective

The objective of the club is to bring together people that are interested in learning more about walleye fishing. In addition to club fishing tournaments and monthly meetings; club activities may include family, educational, conservation and community functions. Walleye Searchers of Minnesota is a nonprofit organization.

Walleye Searchers of Minnesota Activities

” Nobody ever went to his grave wishing he would have fished less…………!”

Monthly Meetings
Our club meets at 7 PM on the first Monday of the month at:

Elk’s Club (Old Bon’s Buffet ) 1652 Hwy 52 N. Hillcrest shopping Center
Rochester, MN

At the meetings we plan activities and learn where the current “hot bite” is. Occasionally, we have guest speakers and the DNR gives us a yearly update on Pool 4 walleyes & sauger. Club members also give talks about various topics related to fishing. We openly share fishing knowledge, make new friends and promote fishing. You will also receive a monthly “Tacklebox” newsletter. There is usually a fishing trip in the works that one of the members is planning. Annual club dues are $25.00 for new members, $35.00 to renew

Club Tournaments
There is no charge for club members to fish the eight club tournaments, although the non-boater pays the boater $20. The top three teams of each tournament receive gift certificates for local fishing retailers, plus we have year end plaques for the best fishermen. Partner pairing is done by random selection and you do not need to own a boat. All tournaments start times are determined at the meetings Usually start at 7:00 AM and end at 3:00 PM. Each team can weigh-in five walleye/sauger over 15″ at the end of the day. We sometimes have a cookout after tournaments where we swap stories about the big ones that got away. At our tournaments you will learn how to improve your fishing skills, make friends and have fun. Tournament locations are decided at the meeting before each tournament so they will be close to where the fish are biting.

Spring Seminar
We have either local or professional speakers put on a free public walleye catching seminar in March. In 2004 Keith Kavajecz gave an excellent seminar to a full house of interested anglers. In 2005 Scott Fairbairn had a solid presentation on the cornerstones of walleye success. In 2006 Daryl Christensen spoke to a full room of local anglers about river fishing tactics. 2007 featured Jason Halfen and Lenny Jamison sharing pool 4 secrets. The 2008 year featured speaker was Tim Hutchinson.

Bring A Friend
This tournament is to show nonmembers what club tournaments are like.
