That cost money!Screw that standing in the cold water elbow to elbow. Come to the lake jigging off a boat.
Walleye Run
- Thread starter ohiooutdoorsman28
- Start date
I will take a group of guys from here for a jigging trip. Giles I'm counting you as 1 of them.
i think the last year we had a mega freeze like this I was standing in the river in a t shirt 80 degrees in March. A stupid crazy spawn that year. 1st year since childhood I didn't fish the run was due to covid last year.
You talked me into it. I'm usually off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Right now I dont have anything booked first weekend in April. Let's keep an eye on this. Usually its game on first week of April.

The walleye run seems fun. Can you get after the walleye in a protected part of the lake jigging?

I am starting to get the itch, jig heads and sinkers are all made. Everything is sitting there ready to go. The thaw this week will most likely bring the river up enough to let the ice out. Then we just wait a couple weeks and a few will start to show up.
There's videos of guys doing it in yaks. Not sure if it's a great idea with the amount of powered watercrafts in close proximity.

I appreciate the insight. For sure not fun getting pushed off a spot by a big charter boat.

Coincidentally I’m going to Delaware Wednesday to get a kayak that I can use in the back bays of the barrier islands near the ocean for fishing and clamming. Me and a buddy are also planning on going to Maine in august for brook trout, smallies and landlocked salmon. Not sure I would have the balls to go out on Erie.

its a blast I recommend it! We ferry them across to the islands and fish the leeward side! Very fishable and pretty safe but I always wear the life jacket. Sketchiest time was being on the exposed side of Gibraltar off the point when the wind kicked up and we got cross chop from the ferry, boat traffic, and the rocks thought for sure I was going for a swim.
