Walleye techniques...

Jigging for Walleyes.. for me it is best with a Swedish pimple and a minow head. Slow.... lift... slow fall...limited visability times

Definitely recognize that name.........btw how do you rig them?

I usually hook them right behind the back fin and use a slip bobber. Same way on a tip up. With a jig you can hook them right through the lips for vertical jigging. We also use them for Perch up here. Big Perch really like them.

[river scum]

tip ups with 2" gills or jig raps and flash lures.

Here is what these guys look like. (I think)

Minnesota allows two lines on the ice. What a lot of crappie and walleye fishermen do is put down a minnow on one (tip up or slip bobber) and actively jig with the other close by using a Swedish pimple, Phoebe, jigging Rap, Buckshot Rattle Spoon, etc. tipped with a minnow head on the other. Up size a bit on both for walleyes, down size a bit for perch or crappies. The jigging attracts and the take may be either on that or on the set line.

There are not that many lakes in the state of Indiana that have walleye let alone ones that get ice. Just curious as to how some on here fish for them.

We can use two line here in MN.
I usually have a dead stick baited with a minnow in one hole. In the other hole I will use a jigging spoon or lure.
Every once in a while I will get a hook-up on both line; then the fun begins.:-)

I believe this what we call a Emerald Shiner here in MN.

I fish the Mississippi in a couple areas thru the ice and do as mentioned....one set line and jig the other. My jigging rod will have a jigging rap or a sonar tied on. I replace the small treble on the jigging rap with a larger treble and slip a minnows head on one of the hooks. The sonar gets a quick 18" upward snap and is allowed to fall freely. When it bottoms out, I let it rest about ten seconds. Lots of hits happen as the lure sits idle after the drop. The rap gets a snap up about 15-18 inches and the drop is fairly quick but on a tight line and the rap is held motionless for 3 or 4 seconds. Hits usually come during the last 1/3 of the drop or the hold.

Near Frontenac's old landing I will even tie on a 1/8 round head jig and put a 3" twister on and jig it. The 3" Gulp minnows and PowerBaits work good too at times. Even a plain bucktail will take fish.

The river fish and lake fish will show very different preferences and I attribute that to the current in the river.

That's what it is here in Michigan too...
