I jig my friends casts and we have both been putting fish in the boat.. 13FOW pink/white jigs have been Hot and bright green jig with a twister tail have been putting the most fish in the boat.. Got a few on Purple to.. Another boat we fish with had the same results. Their out their go get'em boys..

Good job . Were your jigs tipped with minnows? Weather permitting hope to sneak out there this evening or this weekend,,thanks for the info
Sorry I forgot to mention that we were Not using minnows... We went out today about 10 and had our 2 man limit by noon. Same thing as before didn't change anything.. Lots of fish to be had..Good luck and leave a few for me..

Good job!
I guess the jiggin thing isn't for me. I must not have the right technique. We only caught 6 fish today in 6 hours. near crib reef. Saw others netting. I guess I need to stick to harnesses.
I jig with 2 poles. I set my line so the rod tip is about a foot above the water when the line goes slack then I pull 1 rod up and the other hits the bottom so all the time theirs a jig on the bottom while the other is up.. It works for me It's kinda hard to get used to but when you do I'm like a machine 1 up 1 down I keep the rod tip close to the water so I can get a better set on the fish..
Jigging is something not to get frustrated with. There is a knack to it but take a look at your line and rod. Good quality line and rod can make a diff. Walleye hit the jig normally on the drop. Line watching on a calm day like we have had lately. Try jig color changes, change how high you lift your rod, how fast or slow you lift. Big minnows this early in spring seem better. Cast ahead of the drift and try to keep the jig near the same area as the boat moves over the spot the jig touched bottom. This early in the spring I usually start in tight to shore and work my way out to I get a pattern going. Jigging is an easy way to fish but it takes feel in the hand.Quote:
