We were drifting slow enough that our bait was staying vertical, but not sure on the speed.
We did see a few nets goin here and there.
We were using 3/4 oz jigs, with and without minnows, as well a buckshots and other similar blades.

Might want to watch a few walleye videos to see how they rig up for drifting with jigs. Try to find something like "Erie Dearies" and use Night crawlers hooked so a long part of the body trails behind. Cast into the wind and let the rig hit the bottom then slowly retrieve. Some fish may be down deep, other times they might be suspended due to the thermocline. If you feel a tug and then nothing, it might be that a fish just took part of the bait. Leave the lure down there and wait a few seconds then slowly retrieve, it may come back for seconds.
Always check the weather for wind speeds and directions.
