    The Detroit River is one of the nations best walleye destinations, especially in the spring. While lots of presentations will catch fish, vertical jigging with heavy jigs (3/4 and 1 ounce) is the one most often used. Heavy current, walleye using deeper water and fish spread out all make vertical jigging the best option most days, but doing it properly requires the right gear. Here is how I prefer to “gear up” for vertical jigging.

    Dirty water, especially in the spring, is something all walleye anglers will be faced with. Walleye need to see a lure before they will hit it and appealing to the major senses of smell and vibration can help you catch more dirty water walleye. Lance covers how to use scent and the “right” sound to catch more fish whenever you are faced with the challenge of dirty water.
