I prefer to fish out from spawning coves on drop offs and humps in 6 to 8' of water with cover. They don't all hit the bank at once. We catch them pre spawn through post spawn on same spots. The fish seem to travel in and back out through the same areas . Target cover with a jig pole and a heavy jig like an 1/8 oz leadhead in a 2'' Southern Pro umbrella tube or a 1/4 oz leadhead in a
2.5'' Southern Pro Walleye tube.
When they bite that time of year they usually mean business and hammer a jig!
