    Don't give up on those jigs when fishing the western basin reefs. By jigs, I am referring to metal jigs, not leadheads. Try casting small Sonic Baitfish over those rockpiles like a 1/10 or 1/6 oz size. Years ago, a 1/6 oz gold Crippled Herring consistently hammered those rockpile walleyes. Unfortunately, Rapala/Luhr Jensen discontinued that size. Now, the smallest Herring is a 1/2 oz...a little too heavy for the rocks. Fortunately, the Sonic BaitFish took over the slack and has established itself as maybe even better than that 1/6 oz Herring.
