I have a question that about jigging for Walleye.  How the heck do you do it?!
I fish mostly with stick baits (Walleye, trout, Pike and bass.)  Frankly I'd rather cast and catch nothing than sit and jig and haul 'em in.  Jigging has always seemed phenomenally boring to me.  That being said on certain lodge lakes I was on this summer (WCPP), I chose campsites that looked like they'd be Walleye havens and judging by the number of motorboats that would show up off our shore, I was right.  So these guys are out there, jigging and catching tons, big and little.  So I’d go out and troll around with my lure at the same depth in the same area and catch nothing.  So I break down and start talking to some of these guys and on one occasion a fella gives me a jig and a swim bait and tells me that the fish are 17 feet down and to just bounce it off the bottom like he and his mates are doing.  So I’m sitting right where they are and attempting to do what they’re doing and still catching nothing.  I’m starting to think, “There’s more to this than meets the eye (excuse the pun.)”  Then after they’ve left I try again.  This time there is a slight breeze so my boat is drifting and I’m wondering, “How do I know where my jig is?  My line is no longer dropping straight down and as I drift,  how do I know how much line to let out?”  and not only that but as I drift, how do I bounce the jig since I’m in motion?  I eventually  gave up and went back to my stick baits and hauled in a 40” Pike, which was fun but I’d still like to at least know how to jig properly.  I may not want to fish that way but right now I realize I don’t even have the choice since I don’t know what I’m doing. 
Anybody want to take the time to educate me on jigging for Walleye?
