First Bass On Jigs

Featured Replies

Well I hate to admit it, but I had never giving jigs much attention. I guess I just never knew when or where to throw them. So, this past Wednesday I made it my mission to catch my first "jig bass". I took me and a buddy out to a deep water hump where we usually catch walleyes. The shallow part of the hump was insanely thick with milfoil, so I put us right on the edge of the hump and had my buddy cast in to the thick stuff and I hit the deeper edge. No more than 5 casts in I hooked up on my first bass. I thought "wow, that was quick!". And from then on we basically had the best trip we've had in years. At one point we had dual 3 pounders on {as seen in the picture} and from Wed to Friday we probably caught 50 bass. We did a little dock and frog fishing, too, but the biggest fish were all caught on jigs. I just got back from BPS with a bag full of jigs. I am hooked on them :) Here is some pic's of the trip. I am in the gray sweater.

Jigs are a way fun way to fish.  Not very popular in florida but I have had days where they were just the ticket.  

Warning.  Jigs just may be the most addictive bait known to bassers

Great job man, I just started fishing jigs this year as well and man what a difference they make on the deep bite!!! ;)

You guys up north are fishing in sweatshirts, while I'm sticking ice cubes under my hat to stay cool!

Nice catchin'

:)

Hehe, well actually later that day it got scorching hot. It got so hot that I drove the boat up to shore and literally sat in the water underneath a overhanging tree! I don't do very good in heat like that :-/ Thanks for all the comments fellas!
