Walleye opener on the Ottawa

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Some seriously crazy walleye action!

I'm a little surprised at the hefty size of those jigheads. Will have to keep that in mind, as I used to use the larger ones and then scaled back to smaller ones the past year or two. Seems they did the trick quite well!

Great report, Andrew. Must have been soooo much fun! What a way to spend a holiday.

Thanks Wolfe...I always try and use the smallest jig possible to acheive the most out of the presentation applied. In this case with the heavier lead head, water was high and the current in this one particular area was stronger than normal. Getting the jig vertical below the boat and having a good feel of your bait at all times played a big role in plucking fish out of the timber. I normally try and keep my bait 10'' - 2feet off bottom, tapping my jig on the bottom once in while. The fish were not shy of the bigger jigs that weekend and it was a good thing because it's what was needed to get down to them 8) Who knows what they might want this weekend :?:
