NEWS :: Walleye equipped with tiny transmitor
Sandusky River - Ohio

Unbelievable, this radio tagging project was started in 2006 in witch over 50 walleyes received internal radio transmitter implants. In 2007, the field crew was able to locate 18 of the 50 tagged walleyes.

The biologist objective is major: they would like to determine whether the declines in the walleye stock have been caused by the Fremont floodwall project, in witch a huge gravel-bottom oxbow was eliminated.

Here is a short portion of a complete article you can find on the Toladoblade:

"Water has been the lowest it's been all year and is at average level," said Bury. The temp was 51 this afternoon. Fish are spawning, but not all of them. Females close to state record size are being taken.

"I saw a 30 and a 31-inch fish Tuesday. Floating jigs in chartreuse are working, as well as 1/4 or 1/8-ounce lead. Anywhere between the bridges is producing fish. Not everyone caught a keeper, but some got limits. Still a lot of catch and release, as the water is still very muddy. The bite will pick up in a week or so."

Another great walleye article done by Steve Pollick.
