Here is how I was taught by the best Jig fisherman I know. (Gettin Jiggy). The jig your gonna use is sold at happy hooker bait. I believe it is called a tear drop jig?? Just ask Dave at hookers and he will show you what you need. Ask him what color is working.. I always start with purple, or john deer green. I buy different size weights more than different colors. 1/2 oz to 1 oz. You want to fish vertical(straight down) or as close as possiable. You will also need stinger hooks and large shinners. (Some people fish without the minnows but I think they help) Put the stinger on the jig (in the spring the walleye hit short) your catch rate will go way up. thread the minnow on thru the mouth and out the back. hook the shinger in the minnows tail.
Drop your jig down to the bottom and pretend their is a dixie cup on the bottom and slowly lift you jig out and set it back down in it until you feel weight on it and set the hook. If your drifting to fast put some drift socks out.. Guys any other advice will be helpful. I did not put where to go this question was how to jig fish. Do you know where to start.
