I fish the Connecticut River in Massachusetts for walleyes. This is a medium to large size river system which originates in Canada, travels through VT, NH, MA and CT to the ocean. The season is mid to late June (now actually). Water temps are in the upper 60′s to about 70 degrees. Clarity to approx. 6′ – 8′. Stained water. Due to my physical limitations I cannot cast jigs [...]

Would an umbrella rig be an effective tool to use when fishing for Walleye that have gone deep?

I’ve heard that surgical tubing is a great product to use when making your own lures – can you tell me where you can buy this stuff?

I’d like to set out at least six planer boards but it seems to take forever – do you have any tips to make this process any quicker?

I’ve been running multiple boards on one side of my boat but am having trouble getting a fish in on the outside without getting hung up or tangled with the inside board – is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Can you tell me how far out I can run an in-line planer board?

What is “fizzing”?

I was told that it was illegal to release Walleye if I’d had them in the live well – is that true – if so why?
