Any place to get a dozen minnows?.. they are sure fire on a jig head when the water gets real cold... Gulp is good too.. 3 inch shiner looking ones.
btw, big Walleyes WILL hit small jigs,, the trick is using the least amount of weight to stay near bottom, without hanging in the rocks constantly.. The heavier the jig, the more it will hang.. Bring a LOT of jig heads.. You will lose plenty if you are fishing right.. I typically bring at least 2 rigged rods, often 3,,
i can't comment on NJ walleyes , but up here, they often have a real short bite window..They hit left and right at say 6.30 AM, and totally shut off by 7 AM.. Seen it a thousand times... bob
