Yes I did see it. Actually it was the first article I read when I got the issue. Lonnie used to live not too far from me and we had talked several years ago about pier walleye...he often fishes the same spot as I (a stones throw from where your fish in your avatar was caught). It was a very informative article and well written as is all of his stuff.
If you have big water and a big pier, you will catch walleye. Finding a pattern takes time and patience, but Lonnie outlined the basics quite well.
