    1/16th ounce jig and a 3 inch gulp minnow smelt color. If not that then its a hook sinker and a crawler. I try everything until i find what works. And the gulp is working so far on the lakes i fish. And the plain ol crawler hook and sinker cleaned up on the eyes on a smaller river for me today.

    #7 Shad Rap!

    Plan B would be live bait rigging.

    Water temp and weed growth dictates presentation. But, I’m doing well on the following:
    Husky Jerks
    Shad Raps
    Elect. Blue/Pearl Ringworms
    Icicle Ringworms w/ spike-it
    3″ Mullets

    On the Winnebago system it is hard to beat a jig and minnow early but remember there is no closed walleye season here.

    At this time of year we are switching to jigs and leeches or crawlers. I also anchor (what a surprise) and use slip bobbers.

    A slip bobber allows me greater control…

    …of the beer in my hand.

    It is actually a toss up between Lindy rigging on the bottom and a slip bobber. Jigging is a distant 3rd, unless someone incidentally catches a bass.

    That’s gotta hurt! Problem is there broncs IDO will be pretty quiet that weekend. But I’m sure you will find things to do around the house.
