Effortless Walleye Jigging Method Scores Nets Full of Fish
By Webmaster | May 11, 2008
When you’re jigging for walleyes, how big of a role does psychology play? More than a lot of people think at first glance.
A large part of walleye fishing success is being in tune with both your mindset and the mindset of the walleye. You see, it isn’t enough to have a well thought out plan of action without taking into consideration the psychology of the walleye itself.
When you’re versatile and have the ability to change your approach, you can have the most success in walleye fishing. The walleye species is nomadic. It moves around a lot. To be able to catch the most walleye, it is necessary to understand why the walleye is behaving in the way it is.
When jigging, it is so important to match the action of your jig to the current mood of the walleye. Most
people will lift it, and drop it. This is an acceptable method, but if it doesn’t happen to be working it is important to rotate with different approaches.
There is a tendency of many walleye anglers to overcompensate on their jigging. When jigging, it is best to use subtle actions at all times.
Think “effortless.”
Jig so one motion flows naturally into the next.
Next time you’re out on the lake, try dragging the jig along the bottom, popping it up and then letting it fall until it almost reaches bottom. If you’re casting into a shallow reef, let the jig fall just until it hits bottom. Then lift the tip of the rod a few inches up. Pause and leave it there for a few moments.
Drop the rod tip and let the jig touch the bottom.
Keep repeating this process.
Remember the action you were taking when you get your first hit.
Repeat for success.
