    When jig fishing the western basin in the spring we are fishing over the spawning grounds. The fish are mostly males, and I believe are defending their territory from intruders. It is a reactionary bite.

    Two basic techniques. Vertical jig while drifting (hence the 3/4 to 1 oz). Second is cast and retrieve, bouncing it along the bottom.

    This type of jog fishing is unique because of the large number of fish spawning here. It is totally different than normal walleye fishing with a jig. Not sure how well it will work at your end that time of year.

    Go to Youtube.com and type in Erie Jig Fishing. There are several videos that pop up that show and explain the Western Basin spring jig bite.

    Default Jig Fishing

    Jig fishing is a total blast in the early spring I highly recomend driving down and getting with one of the captains on this site there are some who offer walk on charters and most of the guys who get together on these trips are other experienced lake Erie fishermen who may have not put there boats in yet and want to get out for the early jig fishing, the price is well worth the knowledge you will receive and also the 4 fish you will take back with you . Also there has been many time we have limited out in an hour or so and spent the rest of our time fun fishing watch this site for good conditions and whats hot When its good We will make the drive from Columbus Oh I'll leave work at 3 pm and were in the water about 6 and catch our limits and be back home by 11 pm ,try it you will be hooked !
