hey all

Like it says first and best for me!

I've been trying jigs off and on these past few weeks with

No luck. I've been reading and came to a conclusion

I'm doing it wrong lol

I had been tossing the jig beside cover and stumps and

Logs in the creek here with no luck

Today I walked to the deepest widest spot I knew

Threw it in the upper middle and let it sit

40 seconds gave a solid jerk and let it sit

Began a slow twitch drag back to me

The saying that practice makes an angler is true

I have learned to distinguish the feel of a rock or a twig

Hitting my jig

When this fish bit it was dead center of this hole.

The jig was slowing grinding and bouncing across the bottom

And then it got heavy, there was no hi frequency vibration

I associate with a stick or rock hang up

So I gave her a solid jerk and held pressure

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Then old girl pulled back

So exciting

Nice bass! My best bass came on a jig too.

Jigs catch pigs!

Making me jealous seeing beauty fish like that while I'm stuck indoors. Nice job! Did you get a measurement?

That's a pretty fish. Clear water?

Were you fishing spring-influenced water? Those are some SOLID bass! And to catch them right now in WV is amazing.

It was mil creek in jackson county

That's a beautiful fish, congrats !!

Congrats.

 

You proved two theories:

1.  Let the jig sit after the first cast before you move it; and

2.  When your bait feels "different" you set the hook.

 

Great job.

 

I sincerely look forward to your 2015 post when you catch a bigger bass.

beautiful fish!

Well done, mate!

 

My PB and many of my best bass have

come off of the wacky rig, but I have 

caught some nice ones on jigs.

Nice fish

 

Just started jig fishing late this season and love it. 

It is slow fishing but it will produce quality fish.
