Mr Twister Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Was woundering what is the lure of choice for there and if you purfer plastics to live bait? Set lines,Jigging,dead sticking,..... Good luck to all!!!
Fisherman Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Dead stick, #6 hook and minnow and a couple of small splitshot about a foot above, minnow about 6 inches off the bottom, or small 1/4oz jig yellow/orange with a minnow gently jiggled.
Muskieman Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Jig & Minnow Good Luck Nip isn't too goo so far this year... RFS
Guest gbfisher Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 with the growing perch population they have going up there, I stick to jigging myself. dang perch just kill your minnows. OR just fish for the Perch while yer waiting for the pics to come by.......lol Everything you mentioned works well. A simple jig and minnow. Single minnow and split shots as Fisherman said. Buckshot spoons, pimples,hawgers,vingulas,williams.....EVEN PLASTIC Eh Raf!!!
hotrod Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Hook, splitshot, red elastic and a willow gad for the set line and jigging rap on the other line. 1-2 punch.
trapshooter Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I always like 1/8th oz glow jig head on Nipissing. I fished 30' a lot for walleye this time of year there too. Found that jigging, rather then set lines, got more walleye.
kickingfrog Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I've had more luck with my jiggin' line over the set line on Nipissing for eyes. My go-to jiggin' lure now is a 1/2oz Swedish pimple tipped with a gulp alive minnow.
smbhunter Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 My setline always consists of a white 1/8 or 1/4 oz jighead tipped with a large shiner and a hook placed 1-2 ft above the jighead, with about a 4 inch length of line. I've tried putting a second hook up higher, but it rarely seems to get bit, so I just stick with the one hook and the jighead. My jigging rod always has a spoon. I've tried varying the size and style of spoon I'm using, but only two spoons seem to work consistently year after year. The small williams ice jig and the williams wabler. The wabler works best in sizes 20, 30 and 40, with the 30 being the most productive and for whatever reason, the blue out fishes all other colours 10-1. As for the ice jig, just about any colour works, but my most productive ones are both half and half finishes, blue, and chartruese (which was by far the best colour choice for last year and this year). I've caught a few fish on the buckshot spoon, (gold/black), but always seem to end up with an ice jig or a wabler at the end of my line.
Mr Twister Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 That's great and thanks for the contributing input as we will be out there at Robbies for this weekend anual trip and will post on our results of course!
Seaweed Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Let us know how you make out on the big Lake. We will hook up soon Seaweed
buckster Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I've spent a lot of time on this lake in the winter. I have had great days out there with a gold and black buckshot rattle spoon tipped with a few pin heads. Keep in mind that nippissing is slightly tea stained, any thing in gold in a tea stained lake would be my choice....... good luck!
