Use 1/4 ounce as much as possible. If you
have a problem finding the bottom you can move up to 3/8 ounce till you get used
to finding the bottom.
These jigs have no action of their own, so that is up to the angler, short hops
seem to work best but do not be afraid to experiment. Try to maintain contact
with the bottom at all times, but try not to bounce on slack line. This can
cause you to get snagged more often.
Jigs are great for catch and release, most of the time the walleye will
be hooked in the top lip. Unhooking is fast and easy for you and the fish.
Tip jigs with either a minnow or a leech. You can use leeches but at times
minnows will work best. You can usually carry both so you can test which is
working best that day or for the area you are fishing.
Well now put this all together and lets catch those walleyes. Off the
edge of this grassy island or sunken island as I call it there is a drop off and
the walleye hold to this at different depths at different times of the day.
Deeper during the heat of the day and closer in the evening.
Walleye do not like bright light and most anglers think that the best
time for fishing walleye is early morning or in the evening and even after dark.
But on any walleye lake in the heat of summer you have an algae growth that
clouds the water somewhat and makes for great fishing even in the heat of the
day. As simple as this walleye fishing tip seems, remember it works and just
experiment and you will succeed.
The area you can walleye fish you can usually drift slowly over
this reef from one end to the other and preset my jig and bait offering easily
plus with great success. If you use electronics of any kind of course you can
find these walleyes and where they are holding up. Also if it is too windy to
drift the way you want a trolling motor can keep you in the thick of the action
or even anchor.
