Not sure why the second one is sideways.......

Caught these two nice ones this morning along with one that broke off that looked about 4...Oh well! Anyway it was my first time swimming a jig and i did pretty well! All fish were caught on a 3/8oz bluegill strike king swimjig with a berkley beat shad trailer!

All great advice here! Just one more thing, I'm confused when I should use a swim jig over a swimbait... It someone could answer it would clarify things a lot!

What about a hollow body swim bait?

Hey guys, Tomorrow im going fishing in the morning to a 100 or so acre lake. The weather tomorrow look like its going to be: Mainly sunny with a high of 72 and winds 10-15MPH, as for water clarity i think the lake is 2-4 feet visibility, the lake is shallow and weedy with a max depth of 6 feet P.S a 2 day cold front blew in starting yesterday and continuing today. How will this affect my fishing? I was thinking about throwing swim baits, spinnerbaits if the wind picks up, and t-rigs if the bite is slow! what do you think?

Great info! But which one would you opt for, a swimbait or swim jig? They both do the same thing and are subtle right?

Hey guys, One of the techniques i want to learn this summer is how to fish a swim jig! So, if any of you have any tips and techniques that are effective please share! and also, if you could answer a swim jig vs swim bait because dont they both imitate the same thing? Thanks!

What should I base my color choice on for a fluke?

Hey guys, I was wondering what you think the best conditions for fishing fluke are in shallow grass For example, a spinnerbait is best on windy days, topwaters in low light,a worm when conditions are tough, etc...what are your thoughts on a fluke?

i think yum makes a money minnow in 6.5 inch size but I could be wrong

what about big swimbaits such as a huddleston? Or do you prefer the smaller paddle tails?

What about a big swimbait like a huddleston or Mattlures? Or do you prefer the smaller paddle tails?

If i end up going down there, it wont be for a couple of months and i would be somewhere in the Boca Raton area, but if im down there ill take you up on that offer!

when would you throw the swimbait over the swim jig? And what about a worm is that for really bright hot days?

ill be staying in Boca and will mostly be fishing smaller lakes and ponds from shore

Hey guys, I might be goin down to south florida and living there for a year or so, I was wondering...from you florida guys, what are some of the best lure selections for catching some hogs in summer,fall,winter and spring! Thanks

For Toho, check out fish-Orlando.com with Justin! Caught tons of big fish and he's a GREAT guy!

Where are you in Michigan?

What are some of your most productive lures when it's a bright sunny hot day and especially In the afternoon! Do you break out the jigs or stick with a moving bait?

Ok, so if I was fishing out in the middle of the lake and there were big submerged weed beds, would that be considered open water?

Title says it all

Thanks! The bass around here VERY rarely get above 6 pounds and we have tons of bluegill and perch in our lakes. Im almost always fan casting and looking for fish, but our lakes are shallow and filled with submerged vegetation!

If cover allowed for both, which one would you pick?

Hey guys, Which one do you guys prefer and why? What conditions tell you when to use one over the other? I have a few hard swimbaits and a bunch of soft hollow body swimbaits and i was just wondering if you could give some input on when to use one over the other! thanks!

I have a cousin who has caught some pretty good sized ones on Senkos!
