Some good thoughts there TD.
I used to drift worm harnesses for eyes with dad during the day or troll if it wasn't windy and we thought that was basically the only and best way to target eyes... since then I have become a swimbait junky. We had heard people fished for them at night but I didn't know how or where to start... I took to the internet to read about how people targeted them at night and then went out and tried stuff until I got a feel for it (it is really as simple as just casting out and reeling in, although you can make it more complicated if you'd like) It really does seem like more people actively target walleyes these days and without a doubt they are more successful with modern sonar, etc
And things have changed in other ways since the internet like you say... people get shot for the dumbest stuff these days. There was a time, I'm too young to have experienced, when people would get into a fight and they wouldn't pull a knife or a gun... just man vs. man. The winner won and the loser lost, fair and square. Now there are guns everywhere and people are quick to use them or threaten with them.
You are too valuable a resource for this community, we don't want you getting shot for yelling at some goober - so the discretion is both wise and appreciated.
