"How-To" | Walleye Jigging Tips in Deep & Cold-Water

[@ballhawk387]

Great tips! I learned a lot by taking video of my angling with a Go Pro. Noticed that a lot of my vertical jigging strikes came on short, sharp jerks after "dead-sticking" for a few seconds. Like when you see minnows near a shoreline, and they quickly scatter as you come too close. So that's my usual presentation to start in cold water. Often I've also gotten strikes moving the jig to the side, often just positioning it to stay at the depth I want. I've found it not to be about staying vertical, so much as keeping contact. Pike, on the other hand, often go for crazy, erratic motions.

I have never seen a river that calm before. Where are you fishing?

NICE CURLS IN YOUR LINE PRO

Now, how to catch them from shore on pressured waters? I have some places near me with zander (european walleye) and can't catch them any other time then when they protect their nests, which is usually in late spring around here.

Great video

Can you catch walleye from the bank on the Colombia river?

Good tips!

Thanks so much for watching!

Good video but I have always had better luck staying verticle for hook sets rather than have a bit of an angle. Otherwise when you set the hook you might be pulling it out of their mouth

Are you using braid or mono? Cheers

[@codyromano4879]

when do you decide to stop trolling and jig?

[@sov19871987]

During spawning when they move to 10-30 feet of water.

How deep of water do they like to be in

[@AddictedFishing]

In the winter time we are fishing a lot deeper water. We were in 40-80 feet on this trip.

That line dude has way to much memory. It's coiled to the max. Makes it hard to feel the bite. Like totally.
