It was just before spring, in 1989, when I received a late evening phone call from an ice fishing guide in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. I wish that I could recall the guide’s name but I never forgot his client’s name. It was Mr. Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart.

Many anglers have no true idea of the effectiveness of a metal jig. If they did, jigging would far-outnumber all other techniques. Three critical steps to out-fishing the competition by vertically jigging the Sonic BaitFish (SBF).

Although my ice-out experiences have primarily been limited to Lake Erie marinas and its wester basin reefs, these techniques are highly effective in marinas and on its walleye pre- and post-spawning reefs.
