Finally on my 3rd try I was able to land a fish, good thing too or I probably never would have gone back lol. Had both a pike and a walleye, walleye below. Too bad can't keep them, he would have made a tasty treat.

How does one catch a goldeye without using a worm or minnow? I hate buying bait and like to cast. Tried some trout powerbait I had kicking around but didn't get any bites on that.

Well, first off congrats on getting your first fish out of the NSR :cool: Unfortunately my crappy satellite internet is acting up out here and I can't see your pics right now.
Anyway, if you want to catch goldeye on hardware try small spoons and spinners. I tend to have good luck with lures that are at least partially - small Blue Fox spoons for example. Think of the kind of lures you'd toss at trout :)
worms also work great to, if you are releasing the goldeye however i sugest using small spinners in back eddys, try to avoid big deep pools as the pike and walleye are sitting in them and will eat a goldeye of he swimms in a pool, they usuually sit out in the current or back eddys, goodluck

I have always used spoons to catch goldies. I always try to cast as far out as I can. They seem to like it better away from shore.

That might of been the issue. I was using a Mepps aglia size 0 orange spinner but was in a deep pool where I had caught the pike and walleye.
I have never caught a goldeye so trying to figure them out still.

Im the same. I just recently started fishing the NSR (coupla weeks maybe) and i cant catch a thing and im throwing everything i got at it. Much as i hate it i might have to use bait. Really dont want to though.
Maybe all them young fellas on here that catch dozens out there are fishing at night when a old guy like me is in bed. Cause when im out there no one is catching except the odd fish.
Nice fish RAV.
