Walleye Behavior Underwater Video - Calicanuck - 04-02-2015

Underwater Walleye Behavior while ice fishing using a Jaw Jacker. To get this video I just sent a GoPro down to watch what would go on while I had a Jaw Jacker set up. This was a super slow day. So much so we didn't think there were many fish around. That was until I reviewed the footage and saw many fish swim by without even giving notice to the bait. Then there were those that would just come in for a look and others that would just nudge the bait. Finally did get one to inhale the bait on the Jaw Jacker. Learned a very important lesson that on these slow neutral days a minnow on the bottom was more likely to attract a bit. So the next trip my uncle headed out with a jig and minnow, then a few inches of line and a single hook below. Attach a minnow to both and send down. Let the bottom minnow lay on the bottom. The next time he went out the fish were in a similar mood, but the jaw jacker caught 90% of the fish and all of them were on that bottom minnow on the bottom. So this really is a highly effective method of Jaw Jacker fishing for walleye especially on those tough days. Give it a try and don't forget to comment below, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!

Nice to know. I have been thinking about getting a jawjacker the past two seasons. This year I didn't even get out ice fishing due to the lack of ice. We had a very short short ice fishing season in Utah this year.

Yeah we still got a full season but it was a bit sketchy near the end. A bunch of trucks went through the last weak of the season. Much earlier ice out than usual. Jaw Jackers are great for ice fishing. We're allowed two lines where we fish so I put one if besides my hand line and it out fishes me quite often.
