I will check out the Baby Boo jig this morning, I found a few locations that carry them, its definitely worth trying out..

I will check out the Baby Boo jig this morning, I found a few locations that carry them, its definitely worth trying out..

I have a Berkley Cherrywood 7' medium action rod,a Zebco Quanton SS3 reel,and powerpro 20 lb test line.I have recently started using Junebug lizards,biffle bugs and rattle n' crawls. I tried a jig and crawl combo yesterday made by Justice Jig, that did surprisingly well, but I have not caught anything over 2 lbs.The biggest issue is that the ponds depth and my inability to use a boat to fish it.I must resort to bank fishing only.

I will pick up a few jigs today at Gander, along with some Uncle Josh pork trailers, just to see what happens.I will never see success unless I strive for it I guess.

I tried jigging with a chartreuse Malibu jig yesterday,simply because its all I had, and I managed to catch two very small bass.I have predominately had luck with Biffle bugs, zoom frogs,and zoom lizards(particularly the junebug color,I highly recommend it).If I never master jigging,I guess I can't complain, I have a sweet location that has remained private for 25 years.

That's a good read, thank you!

I am in the process of learning various techniques and would like more information on Bass jigging.specifically, jig size and color selection,and also advice on fishing my favorite private pond here in Oklahoma.I have a 3 acre pond, with a max depth of approx.50 feet(gravel pit pond),water is clear with the typical green algae as the summer months approach, lots of sunken trees about 20 feet off the ponds edge. I have caught Bass ranging from 1/2 to 11.14 pounds over the last 2 years. The largest was caught on a chartreuse Malibu jig 5 feet below a weighted float. I'm not sure exactly how that all came about but, it made for a nice day, even if luck were involved. I would like to try jigging this year, to see if I can catch an even larger Bass, I have a feeling there are bigger in there. To add to the excitement, I am also catching bluegill ranging from 1 to 2 1/2 pounds with the same skirted spinners and lizards that I catch the Bass with..I do not claim to be a pro or even advanced in my fishing knowledge,but, I know a honey hole when I find it.

Can someone tell me how to post pics, I have something to show everyone.

Thanks Darren

I just want to drop in to say hi, and I look forward to educating myself a bit more in the area of Bass fishing, I have a ton of questions.
