I'm a bass fisherman, but a buddy of mine talked me in to trying my hand at Walleye fishing on lake Ellsworth north of Lawton. I know nothing about walleye fishing and I was hoping someone on here could give me a few pointers. Thanks

They are good to eat They fight like wet dish rags And they love deep water and minnows Fish at night shallower under lights.
Retirement best job ever.

Deeper diving crankbaits. I would troll the dam area and the rip rap along the rail road bridges. Remember all lawton city lakes this one included you need a city permit to fish. At Ellsworth just stop in at Ralphs Resort and they will get you fixed up.

Shad raps trolled or casted around rocks. But best bait is a very colorful, plain jig tipped with a night crawler. Fish it slow at various depths. Same as bass fishing but with a crawler. If you want artificial baits, straight tail scented worms such as powerworms on a small jig head.

If you fail there, Ft. Cobb has a good population of saugeye.

Caught a lot in Canada slowly trolling with a bottom bouncer rigged with an earthworm, leech, or minnow.
