Fishing Michigan

One of the popular methods of fishing for walleye this time of the year is tossing “hair jigs”.  I really didn’t find too much in my search on Ebay this time.  There is one seller with a fair selection on two different auctions for $9.99 on 8 jigs.  Small wonder that the seller is from Rockwood, Michigan.  Of course folks in this area know the effectiveness of these jigs on Lake Erie.  They come complete with stinger hooks rigged up.  You can rig these with large shiners or Berkley Gulp .

The first batch includes green, chartruse, purple and either white or glow.  Can’t quite figure that out, but guessing white.  Either would be good choices.

The second batch has 4 really sharp looking purple head with pink hair jigs.    The second group of 4 is mostly chartruse, but the jighead looks like it has a bad case of measles.

It sounds like the DNR has come up with a pretty good proposal that would increase the number of lines anglers can use for all species, Great Lake and inland lake alike.  For the last couple of years this has been in effect already for salmon and trout fishing on the Great Lakes.  It could very well have been a trial run for this proposal that they have now made.  A study of sorts to see what effect the extra line would make on the salmonoid fishery.

This would also be in effect throughout the year and thus also apply to ice fishing under the current proposal.  An angler could have three tip-ups,  one rod and two tip-ups, or two rods and a tip-up set up on the ice.  For anglers on the open water who just want to get their limit and get out of the sun, you could be cutting out some serious  time for being on the water.  Not too mention saving a little fuel while trolling.
