What water temperature starts the worm fun?
Jigging is fun, but I like the worm bite on my erie deerie the best.

It’s been my experience that as the water starts warming up around 50-52 degrees, the walleye start moving off the reefs. As the water starts getting close to that, I usually tip my hair jig with a piece of night crawler. I know when the walleye are moving when I start catching sheepshead and not walleye around the reefs. That’s when I move off reefs usually in deeper water and start tossing harnesses or weight forward spinner baits tipped with nightcrawler.
