What kind of rod is preferred to do this? Ideally length and power. Thanks.

I always use 7ft and up you want a nice bend to the rod so med power med light fast action moderate.

Those who are saying “50% of these fish are foul hooked” are in denial. They will swear the fish are biting, and might even have fooled themselves, but they are all foul hooked when those rigs during the spawn…it it just sometimes the hooks happen to snag ‘close’ to the mouth. I have went out many times, and I have never, not once, seen a truly legally caught fish where those jigging baits are used. Watch closely in this video. Not a single fish is shown where the hooks are -inside- the mouth. The early one where there is more of a close up and the guy says “right in the mouth” is really actually hooked under the lower jaw - it is definitely not inside the mouth and that fish was definitely snagged. If a commercial television program cannot manage to video a single fish that was not snagged, it should be obvious this simply a snagging method. These fish have very small mouths which cannot fit the size of baits people are using. The mouth opening is about the diameter of a dime. At night, these fish are stacked on top each other, they are not feeding and certainly not trying to eat a lure the size of your finger which cannot be swallowed. If you want to catch these fish without snagging - they can be caught. The fishing is done in during daylight hours and you use a very small (eg #12-#14) hook with a single salmon egg or waxworm. I’m sure someone will get defensive about using this method in the dark along a pier wall this time of year and insist they do bite; but best case is they are just snagged "in" the mouth.

I recently put a small spoon on a slip bobber and just let it float/drift which produced the one and only whitefish I have ever caught. Without the jigging motion I can't imagine how that fish could have been foul hooked. The hook itself was small enough for their little mouths as well. I think you might be going a little far with your comments here. Salmon are not feeding when they spawn but they hit lures out of pure aggression. The same could be for Whitefish/any fish (even bluegills do it). With that said you can certainly tell by the video that snags are common. Foul hooked or not what I have noticed is that many anglers just keep too many of them. Yes there is a daily limit but on the piers in Grand Haven more often than not you see the same anglers out there day after day. When the whitefish, steelhead, salmon or any trout species are biting they keep every fish they can get their hands on (up to the daily limit) every time they are out. It would be nice to see someone let a few go once in a while. Some of these people must have multiple freezers packed to the brim full of fish. And what's the point of keeping them if your not going to eat them fresh? To me there is no point in keeping more than one/maybe two fish. More people need to think about the future of the fishery as apposed to only in terms of how many they can legally keep.

I am pretty sure that you are probably right on this. You need some small hooks to catch them correctly.

Yeah the only time I truly get a bite is with a tiny hook and a single salmon egg but as long as the all mighty DNR says I can snag them in the face and keep them I will.

I don't like Michigan out of doors, any more. I have not hunted in Michigan or trapped . The only reason I fish anywhere I fish because I don't make enough money for gas to drive somewhere every weekend.

Sounds like you need to take up trout fishing. We have some of the finest streams here in Michigan.
