How To Vertical Jig For River Walleyes 

Probably the best video explaining how to vertical jig for walleye on the net.Thanks a lot.

Thanks for making a good educationial video without trying to sell me a bunch of name brands!

Simple. Straight forward for a rookie or beginner to learn. I’ve found most videos don’t show the “EXACT” fishing line setup. From reel to the end. Appreciate the straight forward info

great video. unlike all the other garbage videos this is a good one thanks.

Does threading you plastic with a stinger hook work any better? And why ? Thanks Bob

Excellent content, but it's better to leave walleyes alone in 30' if you want to release them.

how did you feed the stinger line through the grub?

Thank you !!! What is the rod you are using ?

I'm a handliner who is getting more in to jigging. watched a lot of videos on it this off season to get pointers. This is the best. He explains the technique fully and the reasoning behind it. Other videos just show people showing off catching fish. I've caught hundreds, maybe thousands, of fish. I don't need to see that. I need to know how it's done with this technique.

Everything was on point besides the buying expensive gear part. It’s more about technique and boat control.

John just watched this old video again, great stuff, how you holding up with this pandemic?

My boat is 16 ft.

Everything he says is true...my only other advice would be to use yellow line so you know where your bait is relative to the boat

Excellent video. You’re a great guy and teacher John. Wish you would do more videos.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing your time and treasure.

its great. we have limited almost every trip at the upper river. they are usually from my experience 20-30 fow. at darker times sometimes they chase bait into shallow water like 10fow. the Detroit river is very easy to fish when you fish one section. just run a drift at 20fow then keep running drifts deeper and deeper

Sweet, I fish a lot of river walleye and this pretty much sums it all up.

the best way to jig for walleye is to bring the hook to bottom and let it sit for 5 seconds because walleye are most often caught off bottom

Nice. Neat trick threading the line inside the worm for your trailer hook. Gonna try that.

i feel ashamed in myself. i have never been fishing on lake st. claire or the river, and i live less that 30 miles away

great video,,,would love to hire you for Lake St.Clair next year!

Nice vid, I fish the DR out of Windsor, Never do great but couple tips in the vid that might help. Cheers.

it's a buoy and it's stationary...the boat is moving!

What power rod do you prefer. Medium or Medium Heavy

very nicely done

How is fishing in the fall in the Detroit River? How deep are they then?

Fantastic... you are a great communicator

sweet

Good stuff. It is sort of the same thing you do for ice fishing.

Thanks! Excellent tutorial.

woo detroit all the way

Excellent! Thanks

great job Brandon

wth is that blue thing traveling down the river at 4:44? :O

Thanks

thank you

didn't catch any...hmmm

no. this will never work. walleyes are not bottom feeders. they will almost never hit a jig from the bottom. the only thing you will catch that way is snags. best way is to touch bottom and quickly lift it as soon as possible. walleyes tend to hit the jig on the way down or right at the top of you jig motion
