Jigging but slow
Son and I jigged today NE of turtle creek...pack of a zillion boats in AM. When we first got out about 9:30, there were fair amount of nets going in water. Bite started slowing and the move and search soon started. We only got two in 5 hours fishing...one on a jig and other bottom bouncer dragging a worm harness. Tried tipping jigs with worms, pitching harnesses, and blades too. Most everyone was fishing 14 foot to about 17 foot of water. A lot of both jiggers and trollers on radio complaining how slow it was. A few guys at dock had half limits, a lot had a fish or two like us. We didn't talk to anyone that had a limit but surely some did. Other than the bite, perfect day out there! Warm temps, balmy winds, and steady slow drift! Beat work.

jigging
There are a lot of fish to be caught on a jig still. Fishing early helps and stay out of middle of pack. Lots of us limited early. Having good sticks fishing always helpd. Fish are getting very aggressive tho many got caught on big hook

There definitely is still a jig bite. I trolled yesterday out in the Bermuda triangle for a few hours and finally abandoned that plan for jigging and it paid off quickly.

early bite
Yes, but the earlier you go out the better it is most days.
Saturday was good all morning with a nice limit. Sunday was good n fast but only during the very early morning then it slowed down.
Even the no wind condition, straight down vertical jigging did better than cast n hop it back method, lift a foot and control the drop.
Jig colors vary from the classic purple, black, green and white.
Lots of white perch, sheephead and catfish ( big catfish ).
Tried throwing a spinner n worm in the deeper edges of the out reefs but not a bump yet.
Walleye size varied from to 14 to 27 inch.
Back at this Thursday !Last edited by gregnwtf; 05-12-2014 at 10:36 AM.
