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?

Jigging while drifting is my favorite. I normally employ a spinner on a 1/4 oz with a twister or another type who's name I forget type tail.

Depending on the speed/direction/structure you are dealing with... A slow drift means you reel in less. A stronger wind means you .. just jig. The movement of the canoe replaces reeling in. That's optimal as far as I'm concerned.

An even stronger wind means bigger motion with a lower aspect with time to let it drop 4,5 6 feet per second at whatever depth.

Near the bottom is the rule of thumb. I count and imagine what the bottom looks like to my jig. Whoop! Ahhhh. Whoop woop! Ahhhh. Walleyes do indeed like the Ahhh moments and if I get a few short hit misses I'll add a treble stinger but normally they just commit and I react. Or maybe I commit and they react. I forget.
