I see it as a FULL TUMMY...................
I know well about the jigging, and the hordes, highly concentrated runs of fish make it easy for some, and easier for those who can not travel as far or as often. Often those people posting are trying to "Fit In" so to speak. You can weed them out pretty quickly.
Monday was the first time I had ever been to the DR during a week day. Compared to a weekend, I would have thought that my boat had Cootie's or something, as not one was around for a long time. Makes me think of making a few changes, and going down during the week more then a weekend.
Another part of jigging, is watching other people, at least for me. Its not as fun with Walleye, but watching people @ Muskegon during the Salmon run is like a comedy show. Watched a guy in a Bass Boat hook into one, rotate his hips, and i thought to myself, He is going to try and pull that thing out like he does Bass, over some Lilly pads, like on TV. Sure enough, he rotated back the other way, loaded up that rod, and that King went the other way, and that rod went "SNAP"..... Another time, we heard a "SPLASH", then some cussing. Guess the guy wasn't ready, and the King Salmon snatched the entire rod out of his hands.....
I found it amusing. Still learning trolling, migrating some of my Salmon ideas into Walleye. Will see how it goes. If i pursue this more (Walleye) I am going to have to look to Thorn-Apple Lake or Muskegon, as they are closer than the Bay from my place by ALLOT.
