The Silence of the Walleye Zealots
Tony Andrews of WalleyeGuy Blog recently contacted me to share his disapproval in our lack of walleye specific content. You see Tony is a self proclaimed walleye zealot, and for him no other species will do. So I asked Tony if he would be willing to write a few articles for us, starting with an introduction and some basic information on lures and tactics- and that’s exactly what he did. I certainly hope that he makes these a semi regular occurrence because I really liked this introduction. The silence of the walleye zealots has been broken!
I recently contacted Jonathon and pointed out the obvious lack of a walleye fishing zealot on Fishing Fury. For those in the know, the benefits of a walleye fishing zealot are obvious… but for the uninitiated, a walleye fishing zealot is like a cool breeze pouring across the lake on a summer evening. The words of the zealot open your eyes and make you see things from a glassy-eyed perspective. They make you feel the thrill of the “whack” on the end of a Lindy rig, and the gut-wrenching sickness when you discover that you are about to net some “lesser” species. Spend a few quality hours with a walleye zealot and you’ll likely run home, pile your “non-walleye” tackle in a heap in the front yard, soak it in kerosene and set it ablaze.* Spend a month or two and he’ll have you drinking the water out of a leech container on command.
But this is not what I want. I’m a centrist at heart and have no desire to convert the masses. My hope is to provide the reader with a glimpse into the world of someone who spends 99.9% of their angling time chasing stizostedion vitreum.
