Yeah, not enough time in a day or days in the year to fish all the techniques and all the places I'd like to fish. I'll try my best however.
-
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
-
HAHA good one! And welcome, Bass Enforcer to the forum. Come down to the March 14th OA Big bass tournament out of Eagle Rock.
-
Problem I have with a slip bobber is that when you move the cork, you'll pull the jig up.
-
Yep, nice pics in the blog.
-
Thanks guys for some great info. I always wondered about the tail down thing, thanks ab for explaining that.
-
What he says (except for the compensation part ) - you don't want the jig to touch the water, or worse sink a bit, on the back cast. This can cause the medical condition known as "jig stuck in back of head".
-
Speaking of which, I got a reply back from PJ's - said about what you just said, they didn't sell so they aren't making them anymore. Too bad, cause as you say, there looks to be a market for them now.
-
I read and see reports from the guides where they talk of having some good grub fishing this time of year. I never have fished it much myself, but I'm thinking it is time to start throwing one around. What size grub do you like? Favorite colors (brands)? Jig head size? Slow roll it deep? I always hear to rig them "tail down" - true?
-
I think I remember that Bill Babler caught a pair of 9 lbers a few years ago on the Float-n-Fly.
-
Certainly tougher for me yesterday also. I wonder if the 23 lb. bag came on the A-rig?
-
I looked at those PJ heads, they have a wire weed guard which I like, but the hook size was 2/0, I like a #1. I sent them an email to see if they would be interested in making them with a #1 hook.
-
I'm a "feel" guy myself, can't stand that weightless bow in the line thing, especially in deep water. But what the heck, I'll have to give it a try, sounds like it works.
-
If I'm throwing it in the wind, I'll position the boat so I can throw it into the wind. The sideways bow in the line is something I try and avoid if possible.
-
I've been thinking about a jig an eel, except using a Z-man eel or a Gulp eel. I just need to do it. Going to have to wait out this cold front before I'll get a chance to fish it.
-
Good to meet you also, Fishrman! Didn't do very well myself, 9 bass, but not a keeper in the bunch. All Ned fish, except one on a McStick. Did catch a nice Walter that came home for a future dinner. I have to wonder what this cold front coming through today will do to the fishing.
-
Thanks for the report!
-
Yeah the "clown" could work, you never know until you fish it. I'm with you on staying inside this week, yesterday was bearable, but looking at the forecast, this week is going to be way too cold for me.
-
Seems that is how the "hot" baits are discovered. Someone modifies or plays around with an existing bait or technique and finds a new fish-catcher.
-
Thanks for the report!
-
I wear a buff all the time now, even on cloudy, winter days. Had a couple of pre-cancerous deals removed from my lip and ear this year, so I'm now done with exposing my face to the sun.
-
Tough day for me also, 9 bass, not a keeper in the bunch. Did get a Walter that was almost 4 lbs. that got to come home with me. All Ned fish except one bass on a McStick.
-
I think I'll get out there myself today.
-
Yessir, I'm thinking hair in craw colors. Never have fished a hair jig, but read lots of articles from folks saying they work well in the winter.
-
Too many choices out there in the JB world. And the color choices of each model.
