I’m from Iowa, and we do a lot of “snap-jigging” for walleyes in our lakes and rivers. I’ve had a lot of success using a Gotcha Plug on the beach – but instead of using it as advertised, I snap-jig it as hard as I can off the bottom and it it fall back to the bottom on slack line. It has produced amazing consistent fish for us.
Well done and great photo! I like how you are using a different technique to trigger the bite, good stuff.
It’s always interesting to see unconventional techniques out-produce the tried and true! Beautiful fish, family, and photo.
