This is what i will try this friday on st laurence river 😀

Thankyou saftey sam!

I'm late to reply, but wanted you to know this comment made my day lol. Thanks both! 👊

Why are you yelling, Bill?

I appreciate it!!!

Thx dude!

Thanks much! 👍

😂😂😂👊

Thank you, Larry! Can't come soon enough.

🤣

Thank YOU!

Thanks for checking it out, Jonny!

😂 Oh my word LOL

Thank you!!!

Pumped you liked it! 👊

Thx Casey! Defintiely takes some time on the water to get the hang of it all, but when it "clicks" it's an addicting bite. 👊

Thx!

Glad to hear it! 👊

For sure just takes that one confidence-boosting day!

Bow bow bow! ⚡️

Not a bad idea to play around with it vertical first to get a better feel for the jigging cadence and timing of when the bait hits the bottom and when to snap again. Then start doing short 20-30' pitches away from the boat.

I try to keep it as close to the stock size as possible. If I have to adjust it I will bump up just slightly. I know some guys sweat by going with a bigger treble but the problem I have is the bait will foul more often then.

Yes I would say 97% of the time in openwater I'm letting it hit bottom. Only exception for me is if there's junk weed that's constantly fouling the bait. But then I usually get frustrated and switch spots to something cleaner lol.

I really don't nip it off all that often. Usually when I do, it's if there's a ton of ice because it's harder to play the angle to get fish turned up. I always add the VMC Bladed Hybrid Treble to the front or middle of cranks - put it where you want the fish to target and hit. Noticed if I'm running it on the far back is when I'll get short strikers as they are nipping at the blade. Jigging Raps I put it right on the treble in the middle.

I use the smallest 2 sizes in the VMC RS Rolling Swivel thru the ice. They aren't as free spinning as the ball-bearing swivels, but they tangle up less. And I love that they are basically microscopic thru the ice.

Awesome and thank you, man! Dropshots work amazing for walleyes! In the fall we love running small sucker minnows on them. And all summer long a dropshot with a nightcrawler catches walleyes when nothing else will. I did a really quick video on that and I’ll drop the link below in case: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtN2obSf38C-Yo0.html

@@TargetWalleye thanks I’ll watch the vid. I will get into Jigging Raps and perhaps “wrap” my mind around other awesome things beyond typos. Cheers. 👍🏻😁

Both. I'd say I probably use #5s the majority of the time thru the ice, but the #7s work great early-ice while oxygen levels are at their highest.

There will be a lot of that this spring!

Mid-June up there I think the majority of fish will still be shallower. Especially this year with the late ice-out and high water. Not saying you can't catch some on Jigging Raps, but I think you'd be better off with 3.5" to 4" swimbaits (aka paddletails) on a 1/4-oz jighead. Can never go wrong with white or a bit of chartreuse. A jerkbait like an X-Rap or Husky Jerk can be great too if you're getting stuck in too many rocks with the jigs and plastics.

Overall I fish them the same way, it's just a slightly different approach.... We have a few lakes and areas around here that don't have a ton of cover/structure and the fish are relating to forage versus being on a "spot on the spot." That's when it's especially important to spend more time scanning with your electronics than actually fishing. Don't fish until you're graphing fish whether that's on Side Imaging, traditional 2D or DI, or even Live sonar. If I make a handful of casts on the fish with no bites, I'll will spin around to scan again and reposition on them and try again. If still a no-go, it's time to keep moving and looking for more active fish. I remember the moment when that all clicked for me...where you mark a fish, cast right at it, and BOOM it's on. The confidence boost is insane an gives you that push to run a bunch of spots and make things happen when they maybe wouldn't have squatting on a spot/area/fish that weren't "the deal" that day. Thx much for watching!
