7' medium x-fast rod, for me. Braid with a 10' mono leader.For the life of me I believe these things were conjured for my torment. I've stuck exactly 11,014 and landed exactly two. Quit (I don't give green damn!!!) wasting time in '01; ice and wingwalls: How the fuck do you people keep a damn fish hooked up?!! I'm guessing a noodle rod and mono.
I have a couple of jigging raps, but as a shore fisherman, I don't even bother trying them around all those rocks. Might as well toss actual currency in the water, and punch myself in the face.
I was up there saturday night. By the time I left, I was the only soul there. Enjoyed myself immensely, catching a variety of fish. By variety, I mean various sized catfish.
I missed a few, but landed most of the fish I hooked. All on cranks. Most on one single crank. Not a jigging rap.
Haha! On Sunday afternoon I caught a few small sauger off the walls with a jigging rap. I didn't even get snagged up once.I have a couple of jigging raps, but as a shore fisherman, I don't even bother trying them around all those rocks.

I should note that I wasn't fishing off the walls, but rather on the rock embankments. I think I could fish off the walls and not get snagged. Maybe.Haha! On Sunday afternoon I caught a few small sauger off the walls with a jigging rap. I didn't even get snagged up once.
I didn't catch any or see any caught.are the ling biting?
Me neither. Nor did I catch any carp, or pike, or drum. Didn't see a single paddlefish either. No browns or rainbows, or sauger either.I didn't catch any or see any caught.
You are lucky to have not snagged a paddlefish. Jigging raps are pretty safe off the wing walls unless you cast towards the rocks. Otherwise you don’t snag up too bad in the wing walls. But also if you are not snagging up I have learned you are not catching much either.Haha! On Sunday afternoon I caught a few small sauger off the walls with a jigging rap.
