Search that on facebook. Everything Kirby.

What is that thing lol I've never heard of this till now and looked up a pic it looks like a walleye. Is that pretty Much what it is? How do you catch them? Like bass I suppose?

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/kirby/ this says use cut shad on rocks for them. It also says the max lake depth is 16ft... That's crazy.

The most productive way to catch them is blind luck.

I have not tried night crawlers yet... That could be the ticket.

I camp at the Abilene State Park a lot during deer season and last year these to groups showed up with these very high dollar walleye boats, I went over and talked to them and them were walleye guides and turny fishermen and were down to catch some saugeye on kirby. 2 days latter after every trick they knew not a fish was landed. They were pissed. I knew I tried and never caught one but I felt better after those guys got skunked.
I did see 2 40 lb limits come out of there on bass and some great crappie.

Texas Parks hired those guys so they could try to tell people how to catch them from what I was told. Didnt pan out to well.

ya ive seen only a few caught and a saugeye is a walleye and a sauger mix. being from up north in ohio it was a big game fish in lake erie. i have heard shallow cranks and jigs. idk i have also tried catching bass to. with close to 1.5 million saugeye and 500,000 bass stocked in kirby im suprised its not a great lake to fish. every bass i have heard of caught there has been over 10 pounds. they are there. just got to find them.

They eat up jerkbaits!Don't know anything about Lake Kirby, but I catch a decent amount of saugeye in our local lake on jerkbaits. Best eating fish there is!

Bassin around I'm near Abilene and fish Kirby a lot mostly for blues. I've got a 17 foot tracker I'm trying to work out some kinks in my merc right now. But anytime you wanta try let me know we will see if we can't figure em out.

They dont eat up jerkbaits in Kirby. I have not tried night crawlers. That has to be the ticket...
