I have found black and purple or green to be best in muddy or stained water and UV colors on cloudy days in clean or semi stained waters. 👊👍

You’re very welcome!

@frankwalker1075 Месяц назад

Great video and excellent tips for those learning how to jig on the Detroit River! I would also add that getting your jig to ride horizontal helps a lot. P.S. Pimp Daddy in stained water has been lights out for my crew. Blue Ice in clear water also has been pretty darn good.

@thegreatlakesfisherman Месяц назад

Appreciate the comment. You are the third person who has mentioned pimp daddy pattern. Glad it’s working!

@jasonbroom7147 Месяц назад

I was out on the river last weekend and aggressive jigging was definitely NOT working well. The shorter, more subtle jigging technique caught 80% of the fish.

@thegreatlakesfisherman Месяц назад

For sure!

@geostrong3606 26 дней назад

Thk u ill do my best

@thegreatlakesfisherman 26 дней назад

@humibugs 23 дня назад

Honestly the biggest number one reason is if youre vertical or not. If youre not good at boat control you will have a tough time. Unless there is very little wind which is very uncommon in spring

@thegreatlakesfisherman 23 дня назад

A showstopper for sure. Sort of goes along with lightly bumping the bottom. Tough to do if you’re not vertical.

@chrisgilbert4146 Месяц назад

If you can't catch em in this river this time of year you should stop fishing😂😂😂

@thegreatlakesfisherman Месяц назад

While there are a lot of fish in the river, if you’re not doing the right things, you won’t catch them, or at least, you won’t catch as many.

@ajstevens1037 26 дней назад

Agree...

@ajstevens1037 26 дней назад

I myself like dark colors in dirty water and it works.....😉

@thegreatlakesfisherman 26 дней назад

Its all about the contrast. Dark colors work well in dirty water with bright sunlight, because the water itself is a light brown and the dark color stands out against it - especially when it is above the fish). But in darker conditions such as dirty water under darker skies, unless there is some contrast within the bait itself (such as a bright jighead or bright tail) it can be difficult for them to see it against the dark background. Thanks for the comment!

@RobTaylor1966 26 дней назад

Can you fish the river with winds between 22 and 33km from the west? Or is it impossible to keep boat control and too stained water. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@thegreatlakesfisherman 26 дней назад

Certainly possible, but it will be a fight for sure. I would look for stretches of channel alongside land to the immediate west, if possible, to help break the wind.

@chrishenning3212 25 дней назад

Very possible. I've used my main motor in severe wind, just putting it in and out of gear to keep vertical. The motor never affected my catch rates, even in water as shallow as 6 feet deep. I've been fishing this river since 1979. If you follow the basics and KEEP vertical, you can catch fish. If your not catching fish, MOVE to a different spot.

@ryanwilliams_1987 28 дней назад

Live minnows probably help but at $7 a dz. Its not worth it just got back from a 3 day trip in Detroit we caught a 4 man limit everyday and didnt use a single minnow save your money and buy a bag of plastics

Can’t say I blame you…prices are really high right now.

@wildwestfamilyfarms5578 20 дней назад

Your colors are backwards. Dark water= dark bait. Bright day =bright bait

@thegreatlakesfisherman 19 дней назад

It’s not quite that simple in my opinion. There are 2 factors that impact visibility in the water, how bright the sky is and how stained the water is. A bright sunny sky with clear water is different than a bright, sunny sky with turbid water. Same goes for dark cloudy days. Further, a fish feeding up (and seeing a silhouette) will see bait much differently than a fish feeding on the bottom.

@chrishenning3212 25 дней назад

Profile is way more important than color. Color is second.

I don't even bother watching vids that start off telling me I'm doing it wrong. How do you know? You don't. Change your title to something more positive. Then I might watch.

Thanks for the feedback. I changed the title.
