Re: Need some advice on jigging lakers in rvr
Deep jigging I like braid use 10# , top shot fluoro 8# 10'plus.
Rod I prefer 7.5 spin med power moderate fast taper.
Jigging spoon should be chosen to swim/ flutter on lift & drop.
Sometimes a variation in method is required but I've always prefcered a sharp lift coupled to a tight line drop
Spin rods easier to jig with for me since I jig in front of reel thus it lightens load , UR now just jigging rod blank not lifting reel & full rod length
Like any jigging u must be on the fish , pay attention to down temps that's UR strike zone & it remains the same all over the lake.
This time of year thermo is setting up & fish become more active in preferred temps !
Using the FF is only half the game where these two marry is where u wanna concentrate efforts !
Sometimes drifting over open water while jigging proper depths & temp range will garner strikes from active fish at random.
Jigging deep wAter one of my fav ways to fish especially in late fall!
Certain species tend to congragate while others roam the depths within there comfort range & seldom gather except @ lunch time !
Remember the thermo in clear lakes such as the valley can be 20' +thick , so outline this & UR at least fishing decent holding water.
Like trolling if UR not on active fish keep moving to find em ' but try to stY in preferred temp ranges this time of year for best results !
