Walleyes behaving like scavengers

[slipperybob]

Okay so I was using some cut suckers trying to catch a kitty but then I got a walleye on the end. I'd thought that maybe it was just a fluke and that while the walleye tried to inhale maybe some other baitfish hanging out by the bait. However after catching over a dozen walleyes, I'm convinced that these hungry, hungry, 'eyes are trying to fatten themselves up for the winter on fish meat. Ah heck catch them anyway I can I suppose. It's not unheard of to catch them with a jig and a dead minnow dancing, but on just cut fish sitting on the bottom...scavenger.

Those dang bottom feeders.

3.56 to 4 inch suckers make great walleye bait, I fish them on jigs just like shiners and fatheads. Never tried them as cut bait though (and don't plan too

I've accidentally caught more walleyes on the river on Cut Sucker or Live Bullheads fishing for catfish than I care to count. Some real beasts as well - 29 1/2" from the Red, 28" from the MN, a few 27-28s from the Mississippi. Pike will take cutbait as well in the river.

I'm not sure if I would target walleyes with cut sucker but I won't complain if a fatty accidentally eats my cat bait.

Hidden Falls on P2. right by the launch shore fishing (pirate voice -when I was a land lover - arrr) and going for cats with cut sucker. Caught a sauger and of course some sheepies

I caught a walleye once on corn on the bottom...
