"Hot" new jig


Recommended Posts

So I was listening to fan outdoors this morning and they mentioned something about "the hot lure" on lake of the woods last year was the berro (sp?) Jig. I barely heard that segment and it sounded like they said the berro jig but I have been searching and I have found no results online. Anyone hear that segment and know the jig they were talking about? A has anyone tried that lure?

I would agree.

Try the same set up you would on open water with your boat. 1/4" jig head laced with a frozen shiner is simple, cheap and effective. You use it in your boat, might as well on the ice.

Wow! $5.00 a pop for a hook with a drop of colored epoxy as a head? No, thank you.

Dead stick = plain red hook/lively shiner or chub, 2-3 tiny white glow beads, and a couple split shot a foot or two above.

Jigging rod = small pink/gold/white/chartreuse rattle spoon.

Easy peasey, Japaneasy!

According to the web site they are handmade in Duluth. Hope they are at the show. But you are right do not see to many takers at $5.00 per. We are almost talking the price of a Rap

Canopy Sam,

Good information. I always tell myself that I AM NOT going to buy any fishing tackle when going into a bait shop to pick up minnows for a full day's fishing trip. However, I always end up picking up another charmer, macho minnow, slender spoon, etc. Unfortunately for me, I'm sure I'll end up with one (or two) of these $5 jigs.

Good luck on the ice.

Luke

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
