Fishing Jig
You will be amazed how many walleye artificial lures designed to work in different situations there are but by far the most universal artificial that constantly catches walleye is the lead head jig manufactured with the walleye in mind. There are definite, very simple reasons the walleye jig is so universal. Walleye spend the majority of there time on the bottom of what ever type of water they are located in.
Among the most versatile of artificial lures for walleye , a walleye jig can be fished many different ways.You can cast from and anchored or drifting boat, jig vertically for walleye while drifting with the wind or current, or troll slowly while bumping the jig along the bottom. And, you can fish a walleye jig plain when the walleyes are biting, or you can tip it with live bait when the fishing is slow.
Jigging Vertically For Walleye Tips And Techniques
If you intend to use vertical jigging techniques to catch walleye, you will need to select a jig that is heavy enough to go to the bottom, and keep your line vertical. The trick to this technique is to let your drift or troll do all the work for you. You will need to adjust the way the walleye fishing jig bounces off the bottom either with a different weight selection (drifting) or by controlling the speed of your troll. You will need to adjust your line length as the depth changes. If you shallow, reel in line, if you go deep let line out. Make sure your line stays vertical at all times, this is very important if you want to feel a walleye’s bite. Walleyes are very light biters so you need to be able to see the slightest change in your line. When I talk about line movement change, i am referring to any change that is different from the normal line movement that occurs from the bounce off the bottom, this movement will have a identifiable pattern. You are looking for movement goes against the pattern. Any subtle change give your line a jerk, it may be a walleye.
Vertical jigging for walleye is much better technique to use in deeper water.I wouldn’t recommend casting for walleye in deeper water if the fish are located on or near the bottom.It is difficult to get your walleye jig to bounce off the bottom in a consistent pattern because of the angle the jig is at on the retrieve, when you vertical jig, this angle is a constant and consistently the same, And the jig bounces much higher. The extra action just may be the reason you will trigger more walleye strikes, especially in murky low clarity water.
Another reason vertical jigging for walleye works so well is you feel walleye strikes much easier.The reason is you are using less line and line stretch does not slight-en the feel of a walleye strike.
Vertical jigging for walleye is very effective when fishing in rivers or lakes. In a lake , jig vertically while letting the wind push your boat over hidden structure. In a river, let your boat drift with the current,slowing your drift enough to keep your line vertical while your walleye fishing jig bounces off the bottom.
