Ice Fishing for Walleye at Sunset and into the night on a Jigging Jaw Jacker. Fishing in Alberta on the centrally located Pigeon Lake. This lake is known to hold many walleye and if you can find a location that has some structure you will likely be into multiple fish as the sun sinks below the horizon.
While Walleye can be docile during the day and not actively feeding the fading light always seems to get them on the move. When they are moving to their feeding zones you can set up along drops and underwater humps to intercept them. Few things work better than a jig and minnow.
Especially for walleye that are not super aggressive the simple jig and minnow is a proven method of landing fish the most consistently. Putting a jig and minnow on a Jaw Jacker will also work. With the addition of the TOOTH WHEEL on the Jigging Jaw Jacker these fish could not resist. This one unit got so many hits this night it was surprising.
The stationary Jaw Jacker was set up with a 7mm tungsten and piece of minnow as well. It was hit but much less frequent than the Jigger. Check out Circle Tackle Poker Face Tungsten jigs if you want to see what I was using.
Ice Fishing Low Light is an excellent way to target walleye. Not the greatest for videoing especially when your light is going out, but an excellent way to encounter night feeding walleye.
