  • @theitchtofish1052
    @theitchtofish10524 ай бұрын

    You absolutely can. You may find your numbers will decrease a bit, but when the fishing is hot and heavy they will still slam a soft plastic. Just make sure you are using a plastic that is a little softer so the hooks can slide out and grab on when a fish bites!

  • @theitchtofish1052
    @theitchtofish10524 ай бұрын

    Great question. 2 things happen: 1. This is the biggest issue, the river becomes teaming with White bass and white perch to spawn. They love eating these jigs before the walleye can get to it. You still can catch them but it does get more difficult. 2. Walleye that are done spawning begin to migrate back to the lakes. So numbers in general begin to decline Mid May to mid June you’ll have better luck in the St Clair river

    Always troll with the current. Trolling against it will make your blade spin way too fast, in my opinion. The speed of the current is much different from the surface to the bottom. I’d look for 50/55 as your best bet. But I’d pay less attention to that as it can vary from day to day, I’d focus more on the time of year. Late May to end of June is the best. First week of June is my ultimate favorite week. You gotta be out there regardless of temp, and other factors!

We tend to frequent the Marysville area, a little less pressure. Head north out of the boat launch (left out of the launch) about 1/2 a mile, above the condos. You will hit them 👌🏼

    Ali. Wind usually determines the direction the bow will be pointing. After you carefully drop your jig to the bottom your line will have a slant or lean. Use your trolling motor to chase your line back to vertical. With a little practice you’ll be a pro in no time. Don’t practice in heavy boat traffic!!!! Have fun. C ya on the river 😃😃🎣🎣🎣

    Looks like Jack summed it up below! I’ll see if I can get a video together about that. If you are on the Detroit river, the best place to master this is the smaller stretch of water by the golf course south of the Wyandotte boat launch and BASF. The narrower water is the best protected area on the river from wind gusts. The area is a producer as well 😎.

    Try taking a small crotchet needle and pull your stinger through the worm up to the jighead hook, tie off and straighten the worm and add a little dot of superglue, this way the stinger hook is fixed to the back of the worm and there is no line visible or to get hung up.. or you can just dig one of the hooks on the treble into the back of the worm for a simple quick fix.. they have plenty of power in their mouth to inhale at least the tail of the bait in any current or any water temp, and the stinger will get em, it’ll feel like a bass strike lol
