The most
common sizes
of
weedless jigs
for
walleye fishing
are 1/16- and 1/8-ounce models.
What jigs to use for walleyes?
Walleyes:
Fire-Ball® Jigs are some of the best. They have a short-shank, wide-gap hook, and that’s really important this time of year.
early season walleyes
usually prefer a smaller bait. With the Fire-Ball® Jig, you can put the hook in the minnow’s mouth and out the back of the minnow’s head.
Ounce Jig: What ounce jig is best for walleye
The 1/4-ounce jig caught the most walleyes and saugers in most comparisons, although 1/8- and 3/8-ounce jigs also became important in certain situations. For example, the 1/8-ounce performed well in water less than 20 feet, while the 3/8-ounce became more effective in deeper water.
Tube Jigs: Do walleyes like tube jigs
Tube jigs are typically thought of as bass baits: smallmouths off of rock piles; largemouths from underneath docks. But tubes are also effective on river walleyes, particularly during
late fall
and early winter.
What colors do walleye prefer?
Walleye:
The most basic and most productive colors for targeting walleye are purple and green These colors come in a variety of shades and can be used in a large range of depths. For sunny days, select bright or flashy purple or green, and for cloudy days try a solid, darker green or purple.
Best Color: What is the best color for a jig head
If you’re fishing in clear water, red is a good idea to choose for the jig head color, but if you’re fishing in murkier water, chartreuse is a good idea because it will attract more attention.
Color Jig: What color jig is best
Green pumpkin, watermelon, and other related natural colors are excellent choices. If fishing dirty or stained waters, it helps to use a black and blue combination. Certain jigs often imitate bluegill and shad with color matching.
What size hooks for walleyes?
Walleyes:
Summary. The
best type
of hook for walleye is the octopus hook type. The treble hook type is also good for catching walleye. The best size octopus hook for catching walleye is size 2.
Best Bait: What is the best bait for walleye
Minnows. Minnows are the most popular bait option for walleye anglers, I have found consistent success with shiner and flathead minnows When targeting bigger fish, shiners in the 4-6″ range are the mainstay, these will weed through some of the smaller fish and get you on 25″+ Walleye.
Jig Head Matter: Does color of jig head matter
These are two of Bosley’s favorite float-and-fly jigs. He uses the one with chartreuse thread on sunny days. The jig of the top with red thread is the one he works with on cloudy days. For walleye, crappie and trout, I have found that the color of the head of the jig is important.
What colors can walleye not see?
Colors:
A walleye lacks the blue and
yellow cells
, so it’s color vision is similar to that of the rare human beings with blue and yellow color blindness. What this means is a walleye most likely can see all colors as some shade of red or green.
Walleye Fish: What color is most visible to walleye fish
Walleyes do have color vision that peaks in the orange-red-green portions of the spectrum. They see colors on both sides of each peak, but sensitivity declines. So they see wavelengths shorter than green and longer than orange-red, but not well. Overall, they see orange and red well, followed green and yellow.
Bright Colors: Do walleye like bright colors
In clear, shallow water, during daylight – colors such as green can be visible to walleye In deeper and dirtier water, any color visibility will be reduced. Blue colors likely won’t make a difference (the lure is visible, but the blue color is not). Red colors won’t make a difference in deep or extremely dirty water.
Pound Test: What pound test should I use for walleye
For regular sized walleye lures and live bait, 4-6 lb is ideal. For large swimbaits, rattle baits and extra large live bait, you can go up to 8-10 lb. Choosing the right pound test line for walleye can be extremely important, especially if you’re fishing in clear waters that get a lot of fishing pressure.
Best Time: What is the best time of day to fish for walleye
Generally, the best time to fish for Walleye is early morning and late evening When the sun is high at midday, Walleye move deeper and hold tightly to shade providing Cover. During periods of low light however, Walleye will move in shallow to feed on baitfish holding close to shore.
What depth do walleye like in fall?
Walleye:
It’s not uncommon to find fall walleyes as deep as 40 feet or more during midday hours on these big lakes. They might also be sitting on the edge – somewhere in the 15- to 25-foot range, depending on the lake. But they typically aren’t far away from a piece of structure, which they’ll also use early and late each day.
Can you cast jig heads?
Heads:
Casting/Arkie Jig Head If you’re trying to establish a pattern and will be jigging in a bunch of different areas with different cover, then the casting jig is a great choice However, once you find that pattern, you’ll want the jig that best fits that type of structure that you’ll be fishing.
Do walleye eat craws?
Walleye:
Crayfish is a favorite food of big walleye.
