Salmon on Jigs??

<< < (5/5)

TheOutdoorsman:
Salmon are not easy to jig through the ice...given their cruising/suspended nature during the winter.  But it can be done.

Small jigging spoons can work well.  Make sure you have a flasher as well...the salmon can be anywhere in the water column, and are often within the top 20 feet of the water column.

Wiener:
Outdoorsman has a good point.

If you can set out tip ups,  try a three-way rig to a spin-n-glo .


I would use a longer leader with this set up.

If you are still interested in the jigging idea, here's a couple of websites for you.

Any size and color, but with much stronger hooks than you will normally find.

Hope this helps,

Wiener

I have caught landlocks on a jigging rappala and on perch jigs by accident. Was jigging for perch and lakers.

Jigging is the ONLY way I do it. And I have caught 8 in a half day. Not that hard if you stick to it.
