2024 Detroit River Walleye Report number 8; May Walleye Jigging the Detroit River

Guys, I see a lot of people, on Social Media, asking how long the Walleye bite usually lasts, in the Detroit River, with a lot of crappy answers. The truth is that most years, the HOT jigging bite lasts from Mid-April to mid-May, but fish can be caught by jigging and pulling harnesses, right through the month of May, and sometimes well into June. By June, the bite is typically better on Erie.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Oh, absolutely, the evening low light period is every bit as good, and some days better, than the morning low light bite!

Yesterday (5/2) was tough after 830 ish. Did catch some quality fish up in the cow pasture, nice females that must have spawned the last day or so.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Great info, thanks for sharing. The video footage was also filmed on 5/2, and the bit got noticeably more difficult after the sun got up, high in the sky. I have not been up to cow pasture in a couple of weeks though.

Thanks for another great report. We had a two man limit 4/30 north of Belle Isle bridge, 6:30-8:30am. Water temp on the rise again, getting close to harness time

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and supporting TJO, my friend! Nice work on the quick limit. Water temp is definitely on the rise, within the next week or so, I expect that I will add harnesses to my strategy, at least in the mid day hours.

I can't manage to catch 1 walleye of the docks by jigging. What am I doing wrong?

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

I don't know the first thing about jigging from shore. Only done it a few times. I've been jigging from a boat, for 30 years.
