Vertical Ned fishing

[Guest]

I caught 8 walleye & 3 spots vertical jigging the Ned yesterday at beaver

Think pitching & vertical jigging a spoon inside dock stalls. Similar setup

I'll give it a whirl. BTW. I was getting bit more than Champ on the Ned yesterday afternoon and then he noticed he had given me a 1/16th head and he had the bigger one.

That 1/16 is a real beast. Everyone latches on to the 1/8 because they can feel it, but the 1/16 will eat its lunch.

Regarding the float n fly comment above, I have had great luck in the winter up the James river just below Springfield with a half a zero wacky rigged under a bobber on SM and Ks. Also in a local pond.

I'm guessing they would work well with a drop shot presentation as well.

That Fattyz deal can be pretty effective at times in deeper water on a 1/4 or 5/16 mushroom head. Cabelas makes a good head for that bait that has a keeper on it. Fishes like a shaky head but with the larger profile. That jig head can't compete with Dave's on a Ned because it is too big, but on the larger Fattyz application it is just right.

Maybe use the Ned as the 'weight' in a drop shot setup. Drop it into a school of angry spots and I could see doubles possibilities.

Now that is just scary. Might have to try that myself.

This doesn't work at all, I tried it last year and failed miserably....lol.

the 3/16oz jighead does a good job in for that setup.

I like a nose hooked roboworm above the "Ned weight"

I haven't dropped the Ned in the clowns mouth yet, but I have dropped a grub straight down on fish I saw on the depth finder and caught them. I absolutely know a Ned would do that job as well.

Ah, the ol' shakey shot. It does work, and work well.

Hey, and some tournaments out there allow multiple baits on a drop-shot rig but disallow the A-rig. Go chew on that one for awhile.
