whats next after the jig bite

Bottom bouncers and harnesses are usually a good bet if you are a drifter.

Depending on how much if any wind. Early May can be breezy but also fairly calm. Small crawler harnesses just above bottom will work well. On flat days with no wind a jig and worm or minnow can still produce fish. An old time way is sit on structure with a live bait rig ( Lindy rig ). Early May is transition from spawn as the walleye rise from the bottom to feed. Starting to see the fish rise over the weekend and some walleye taken on harnesses , weapons , and jigs all with worms. Then there also were alot of walleye taken on a bare jig.
Water temp was 53 today and I found plenty of walleye on top of the reefs and around the same areas. Male walleye spewing (milk) all weekend. Water temp is a key for what the walleye will want and you will start seeing more arches just off bottom. I saw nice arches in 25 ft water just off the edges of the reefs today so its near time for all crawlers.
