I seen that as well, and saw it first hand when I was out there few weeks ago. They were doing much better than us jigers. But the reason is because all the fish we marked on the vex were suspended of bottom a ways. I refuse to troll, its like catching and drag in a old wet boot. But some days thats is the ticket.

I hear ya, rod in hand fishing , feel the bite, oh ya set the hook.
6 weeks till the boat hits the water for the great jig bite fishing.
Should be a great year for all the reports we are hearing.

If you are anchored up, and the fish were suspended couldn't a guy fish with a vexilar or something similar and catch those suspended fish? Maybe the fish would be to spooked from the boat? I really don't know, anybody have an answer?

We were using are vexlar, but we could not get them to go. It realy suprised me how well it worked. We ended up with one walleye and 3 perch. I was almost as if you were ice fishing but the bottom moved about 2 feet.

Hey 7wfishing thanks for the reply. Would they even follow your bait up or down? What were u using icefishin jigs or regular spring jigs. U sure would think that they should be starting to bite jigs here anytime now. They were showing temps to be in the 50's or right around 50 for like 4 days straight, but now I see that they pushed that back a couple days. Maybe I need to just relax and have some patients.

yes they would do every thing but bite it. They followed it up and down not real aggresively though, but that was like 3 weeks ago so it could be different now. I am too chomping at the bit to get some walleye grezz in my boat and hands, weather and timing has to be right to do it. We caught the one on a green buck shot, and tryed everything from a hair jig to a jig rap. I think it could bust loose any day it just all about the weather and water clairity. I would love to go this weekend but weather/wind looks not good. I also heard the boys up in saginaw river are nocking the daylights out of then so might be heading that way this weekend if weather wont allow for erie.
