Need help with a rig

[dprice]

Ok I've ask for a year  about this 

I cut a deal with Mary if I could go to lake for 3 hours  I'd help finish wrapping 

oh my can't believe she fell for that one !!

i ordered some cool stuff built my own still had 20.00 in it   Took off from cedar ridge  on trolling motor and fished a stretch  

i hooked something on a rock bluff end  it went up the bank and pulled loose ? Felt like rocks  figured it wa some of hufferds   Walleye

 Water was 42.5 and out of the east

Fished stuff I have always wondered about  that looked like a rig  water

I slung this thing  to know prevail

i fished a 20 foot deep cut  and was stuck so many times   I was imbarressed

i was back out and back in over and over 

That I had the cut muddy from trolling motor turbulence  I'm serious

 there was a nice fellow in a blue tracker  crappie fishing 

I don't have the heart to ruin his trip  so I turned around a went the way I came ?? 

Boy did that guy get a eye full

 I crossed the lake  and ran down about  2 miles to park area

went straight to the backs and fished out

I picked up a  wiggle wart  and kept dredging it  never had a fish 

 

I   ended up catching 3 swimmers  on main lake points     On a jig

i left the lake at 1  

id like someone to take me a rig fishing   Or a least pm on some advice

I'd like to thank Jesus for excepting all of us for who we are !

Merry Christmas to all

D, I rarely fish the Ned rig but when I do, usually January before rouge bite starts.

 I use 1/8 oz head and either watermelon red or green pumpkin purple and fish just like plastic worm on mainlake channel bluffs and swings. I just let er fall and usually they hit it on initial fall. That's how I've had success, gotta be patient and just let er fall slowly. Lot of guys use 1/16 oz head and seem to do well. I'm to impatient to wait that long.

For me, you gotta be on channel banks and if they are eating it well, change over to rouge and try for toads.

Good day to be out there!! Thanks for the report.  Now I am no a-rig expert but was given some advice recently on where/when to fish it.  So will be testing it out to see if it works a couple times next week.  I think I'm going Wednesday and then going to spend new years eve and new years day at Stockton with the family.  Will take them out some to find some eagles but plan to fish a few hours each day.  If I can get them dialed in you are more than welcome to join me new years weekend if you are around for a couple hours.  Went out on Thursday and had a killer day on jerkbaits (i took 2 rods so that is all I threw)...probably had 30 fish and they were grouped up so I would catch 6-8 once I caught one.  Was told if you find them like that on a jerkbait they will hit the a-rig as well....so plan to test it out.

Thanks again for the report and maybe we can find a time to catch a few.

Sorry D, misread, though you were asking about Ned rig. I have never throw the a-rig.

Again my apologies.

Merry Christmas, Watch out for those walleye they have teeth. I might get out there Monday.

Fish the A rig any where you would fish a deep crank...I haven't started using it yet this year but I will shortly. I catch a lot more fish on the Rock and Bull with the A rig than I do on Stockton.

As many articles  out there 

there is not very good info  on it

i need to move out deeper I'd say

but 20 foot is a crazy depth for me  right now

maybe some more info will roll in

I gave the A rig a try on a couple of timbered 45° banks up the James yesterday.  NA DA.  I prolly will wait a while before I do it again.
