Unfortunately those of us who reside in California are not allowed to fish for walleye. The California DFW has determined that they are an "invasive" species and that they would ruin the trout and salmon fisheries by preying on the native species. I think someone at DFW saw the word "pike" behind their name and freaked. They seem to do well in our neighboring states.
If they are invasive, It seems they would want y'all to catch every one you can. We have fish here in Florida that they want us to catch all we can and not release any that you catch back into the wild. Some of those fish are extremely good to eat.
Bad, I resemble your post
You can catch just about every thing with a worm with or without a bobber, I prefer to fish no nothing No weight and no bobber. If you lightly slap the hooked worm on the water surface and it will thence up, then immediately cast it out and let it sink watch your line for sudden movement. Works with spinning outfit or cane pole.

I go to Canada around Kingston and fish dog lake and the next lake down full of largemouth and they are some of the best tasting fish ever.
WV Say it with a smile By God West Virginia Mike, You are right, bass is the best, Deep fried with corn meal batter or backed or grilled. It is good!!, Of course Trout and salmon to me ain't fit to eat, maybe If I were starving.

Fasten a hook on one side a barrel swivel and give the cap a twist so it will flutter erratic.
I'm not real sure it needs the twist. I've made lures from t spoons and T spoons dinner forks and knifes that caught fish. I have buffed the silver plate off some spoons and polished the brass under it and caught red fish on them. Take a spoon handle or knife blade and bend back on it's self, not quite in the middle. Put your barrel swivel on the long end and the hook in the middle of the bend and catch fish. I bought bunches of silver ware at flee markets. It's not necessary that any of them match they're cheeper that way. those little Ice cream, and baby spoons are good for crappie too.
With it's mouth shut the large mouth's mouth comes just a little further back than it's eyes. when catching Suwannee Bass that is the easiest way for me to tell them apart

Next one will probably have a bottle cap in it. Ha a fish that drinks.
There's an idea for a new lure. I got a kitchen sink lure for Christmas one year, caught fish on it too
Blackened red fish is one of the best. They are one of the hardest hitting and fighting fish out there, the big ones tend to have worms but that doesn't hurt any thing when they're cooked. Specks are my personal favorite though.

R90's welcome to the forum if you go to your profile and fill out your location you might have some that live near you and would fish with you.
I hope I still can when I am in my 90's.
My Granddaddy was 95 and complained, I don't know what's wrong, I just can't do like I used to. He fished to the end. He took a fall when he was 96 and a few weeks later he was gone.

As the results showed, we have diehards that fish all the time. Others, not as much. Sounds like your health and maybe her wanting some of your time has slowed you some. Happens to us all at some point.
She's a good un stuck with me for the last 51 years. I can't figure why, she'd do that.
One of my best days of bream fishing was at a neighbor's pond, where a cow had died at it's edge. Ihe Blow flies had got to it and their maggots were just rolling out into the water. Caught our limit, took them home and came back, for an other limit for the land owner. And oh yeah we filleted them for him.
