deep water cranking and deep water jigging

There is so much for me to learn I don't even know where to start. I am starting to get flipping jigs. It is really about where you put the jig. I fish spinnerbaits good. I fish tubes decent and I have got drop shotting down. Shallow cranking no problem. I have room to improve on all of these but I have caught fish on all of them.

My problem..... deep cranking, rattletraps, and c-rigging. I have no idea if i am on fish or if I am even near fish. Are the fish running for their lives when I throw a deep diver? I have no idea.

In '08 I want to work on learning deep cranking, football jigs, and of course the swimbait.  Also since we don't have an abundance of grass lakes here in NC, I would like to learn as much as I can about that (I am heading to Guntersville in March - Figured that would be a good place to learn a thing or two about grass fisheries ;D )  I would also like to get a better understanding about what I have found in practice so when the conditions change I can make the appropriate adjustments.

D.  All of the above

JIG and PIG.

Don 't need to hone skills or techniques, they are already honed. What I need is to go fishing more oftenly, so far this year I 've only been out once about every month. For one reason or another I just can 't seem to be able to do more than that  .

Once a month? Dios mio!

I think you need to hone your skill of slipping past the wife and out of the house  ;D

I'm going out for a loaf of bread, rod what rod

Yup, once a month only. Between the wife n 'kids and the business I 'm screwed good :-[

Want to go to Zimapán, Calderón, La Pólvora or El Saltito ? have to plan 2 months before I can even wish to go and then the week before pray for nothing to come up.

Was ready to go the past weekend to La Pólvora, then on Friday a dog that needed hospitalization arrived early in the morning so that pretty much killed my trip and then ...... the danged dog died on Sunday !  >, if it was going to die why didn 't it die on Friday he arrived ? ah no, it had to ruin my trip.

Murphy 's Law. :

im going to try swimbaiting next year. im starting to look at some 6" swimbaits i might get, probably some Castaic ones, Mattlures, and maybe a couple other types to see if i like it. and hopefully get that 5 pounder that eluded me last year by 2 ounces  >.

aaron

deep water structure fishing with cranks, jigs ect. in ohio there is not a lot of deep water.

I'm going to continue to improve my jig fishing and improve my suspending jerkbait fishing.

Do more jig fishing.
