    Anyone on here fish Pokegama for walleye? Was looking around on here for some general info and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of talk about it. Was going to take my 5 year old there because we are going to be at a friends cabin up that way. If there is anyone that would be so kind to share some general info on the lake that would be great. Nothing worse that taking a 5 year old out to a lake blind haha If it was just me I would trail and error it but the little guy has a short attention span.
    How are the eye numbers in there?
    Fell free to PM if you would rather communicate that way.
    Thanks in advance!!

    I’ve never fished it personally, but have a friend with a cabin there and they catch some MONSTER crappie pretty regularly.

    Never looked for eyes but the lake has everything in it!(connects to the snake then to the croix) I have always done well with good panfish action if your walleye search doesn’t produce..

    Haven’t fished it much in the last 10 years or so, but fished there a lot growing up as my friend had grandparents on the lake.

    We would troll Shallow running shad raps on the deep side of the weedlines(I think like 8-12 feet of water) basically around the entire lake, we always caught enough crappies, northern, sheephead, channel cats, striped bass, walleye(occasionally) to make it worthwhile trip.

    There’s MONSTER cats and sturgeon below the dam.

    Walleyes are tough to get out there. If you’re bringing a 5 year old out, you are better off finding some pan fish. Lots of Crappies and Sunnies out there, nice ones too!. A buddy of mine was out there on Tuesday and did real good catching Sunnies on the weeds. Fish the edge of the weed beds with a bobber and crawler.
