I am fishing skirted jigs a lot more and I'm starting to get the hang of it but it seems like half or more of my fish come from the initial fall. They will ethier get it as its falling or right after it hits the bottom, a lot of times they will follow it down and grab it as soon as I move it too. Then the next chunk of my bites comes from swimming jigs, but the least amount of my bites are from me dragging/hopping it along the bottom and through grass.

Does this sound normal or what? I'm asking because it seems like I should be getting more bites dragging/hopping it on the bottom than anything else...

Im fishing grass and cyprus trees alot and I'm usually pitching the jig if that means anything.

Just wondering if I'm missing good fish from me doing something wrong or if this is normal

If it's working, you aren't doing anything wrong.

It sounds as if you are making good pitches right into the fishes lair, hence the majority of bites on the fall. I would guess if you cast past the target (if possible) and dragged the jig through the cover, you would get bit then. With experience, we all tend to figure where the fish may setup in cover and then make casts that exploit that knowledge. You may be just targeting the fish perfectly.

If not that, then it may be that you are getting reaction strikes from the fall, that the fish you are catching may not be actively feeding.

Seems you know the answer, personally I don't work a jig in a mud bottom, ( back to boat ) initial pitch / flip is it for me, reel in, repeat.. Bouncing off cypress is good, I would rather throw a T-rig into grass ( weight depends on grass thickness )

Pitching open areas 1/4 to 3/8 ... The silt bottom is Likely swallowing up you're jig/ I love a jig, (sometimes) on a harder bottom, wood, rock... Just not on a silt bottom..

It is perfectly normal what is happening and it is what you want to happen when pitching. I will make a pitch to a likely spot and let it hit bottom and then give it a few hops and reel it in, if a fish is going to bite it won't follow the jig out too far from the cover it is using, it will either hit it on the fall as a reaction or it will watch it and the next time it moves it will grab it. The only time I drag or hop a jig back to the boat is when I'm casting football jigs or when I'm casting finesse jigs over rock flats, then I will drag and hop and combinations of both on the same retrieve. I do this in areas where there isn't any visible cover and a hard bottom, this time of year is perfect for combing flats with finesse jigs.

Sounds legit to me.  If your throwing it on her door step she will answer. 

The blind bites I get hopping my jigs, are usually around a target that is submerged. Ill try to pitch back to where I got a blind bite, and it seems like about 80% of the time, theres actually a stump or some brush submerged.

Thanks for the help guys, makes me feel better.

Maybe it is because of a silt bottom... Lol idk

I've never had much luck fishing a jig across a muck bottom, I think it probably gets lost in all the junk on the bottom or maybe even sinks into the soft bottom where it's hard for the fish to find. 

Ehhh, maybe I need to put the jig away more often... Its hard too stop fishing them ever since I caught my PB!
