Nbourque, Thanks for the info. I figured average would be a lot bigger. But being from Pa. had no clue. I know some would be larger. Just curious is there walleye in any lakes in Maine? Or is that swearing in Maine? LOL! I talked to some of the guys when I was there and they didn't seem to know much about walleyes. Or maybe there is just not that much interest in them. Not native. Or really none to be had. Different areas of the country prefer different fish.
Just trying to help, perhaps read my posts again paying attention to what's in them and not adding things I didn't say. Bait is not necessary nor will it make any difference on the jig. You have to know where the salmon are in the water column. See you in salmon alley, perhaps you learn better in person.
No walleye here in MaineBelieve it or not every once in a Blue Moon Walleyes are caught out of Long Pond in Belgrade/Mt Vernon/Rome area.Walleyes show up in MDIFW seine net surveys in the fall each year in this lake, rumor is that MDIFW stocked them back in the early 1970's but then discontinued shortly thereafter.

I read the same thing somewhere. They were Stocked in quite a few lakes at some point in the 70s and 80s. For some reason the growth or returns were bad and they discontinued stocking. Probably a few wild fish swimming around somewhere. The state record is something like 3lbs so if you do find some walleye you may get a record breaker.
I have a friend who routinely caught walleye in the spring in the Belgrades in recent years.
Would love to see a picture of said walleye.
I would also. Guy is legit though. He's not around here anymore. He moved to the Pacific NW to chase salmon and steelies. I thought enough of his account to poke around bit at "his spot", plus chased a few other rumored locations. No dice.
Very cool you’ve tried to catch one of those golden gooses. Please let us know (don’t need to know where) if you hook into one.
