Long Lining Jigs for Leech Lake Walleye

Deadly jig fishing method for catching walleye in shallow water early in the season. Jason Mitchell joins Leech Lake legend, Al Maas on Leech Lake shortly after the opener.
Walleyes can often be located on the shallow sand flats early in the season. These shallow locations often have sporadic short growing weeds scattered along the bottom so long lining small jigs or casting from the boat is the ticket to catching these fish as they spook from the boat.
Proper boat speed, types of locations along with jig and minnow selection are all explained in detail. Leech Lake is a very popular and productive fishery in northern Minnesota and this walleye fishing video will detail how to catch fish. #fishingvideos #fishing #leechlakewalleye #walleyefishing #jigfishing #minnesotawalleyeopener #minnesotawalleyefishing

Night time basin trolling for Cisco system walleyes be a topic I'd be interested in learning more about. But I'll take what ever you throw out here to watch always learn something new to try.

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

+Kyle Casetta that would be fun to do! Thanks for watching.

Maybe you could do a show on inland gin-clear Waters for a daytime walleye bite on Lake Geneva Wisconsin or Big Green Lake in Wisconsin. Help to unlock the daytime bite

+David Ferrari thanks for the view and for the heads up on those particular fisheries!

Great video. We should have a good bite going always here in Kansas, the wind is always blowing. I was confused by your term "long lining" as the definition says multiple leaders off one line. But I figured you mean trolling your bait a long way from the boat. I was t to try your technique on Lake Clinton, a lake you visited for some wiper action. The weather is not conducive for any kind of fishing I want to do, so I am living vicariously through your videos and I have cabin fever.......a severe case. Thank Goodness for KZbin 😁 I am planning on using a Colorado personal pontoon boat and with a 30 lb trolling motor. I am so ready to go. The question I am going isn't about recognizing what kind of fish you see on the depth finder? How do you know if what you see is a walleye, or crappie, or smallmouth bass? Trial and error? I realize that knowing a fish habits will give you a heads up, but what if the spots on the finder are deep, how do you know what to show them? Thanks for all the great tips and I will endeavor try them.

+Charles Hodgin identifying fish is tricky but a lot of times the size of fish and how they school can be revealing. Ultimately you have to put in some time to figure out the nuances on a particular fishery. What I find a lot with walleyes on reservoirs is that they often do mix in with other fish but they might be below the white bass for example. Walleyes often scroll through one at a time. If there is a cloud of fish, they might be something else.

@@JasonMitchellOutdoors thanks for the quick response to my question. I should have done a better job of proof reading my comment before I posted it. I am just glad you deciphered my poor sentence structure. 🙄 I buy these fish finders and have very little ability to understand what they are showing me. And I know I would be so much better at fishing if I knew where the fish are and what is fish and what is something else; I envy your ability to catch fish every time you hit water. I am happily subscribed. I didn't realize that you could target wipers, every wiper I ever caught I was fishing for white bass. 😄

Hi Jason, good video, curious what line you were using for this setup? Thx!

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

+Townsend Bernie I was using 8 lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader while Al was using 6 lb mono.
