Believe it or not, the water is 1 degree colder now than it was 2 weeks ago. We are right in the transition from jigs to worms. I honestly think the fish are confused with the foul weather and lack of temp. Fishing Friday was very good and then most struggled after that. Some did well but not the majority. The water is as dirty as I have seen it in a long time to add insult to injury.

Jig- I got a long detailed explanation as to the method of fishing I was inquiring about. You hit the nail on the head. Sounds like the key is to get worm harnesses away from the boat with walleye boards, troll 1mph or less with electric.

Mellow- By June, you should be able to catch fish by any means you try. Drifting with bait or trolling spoons and cranks. As the water warms you can troll faster.

MLB-Do you have an area in mind to try your shallow water troll?
