Another thought, you can pitch the swing jig/creature setup around docks like you would a jig also. Sometimes it works pretty well.
-
Yep Biffle Bugs are great, and I also really like the Megastrike Megabug.
-
About 30 years ago I had a co-worker and friend that was from Pennsylvania - he and his wife used to say "No big whup" instead of something like "No big deal". This is the first time I've heard anyone use that phrase since then.
-
I'm partial to Green Pumpkin and Dirt when it comes to Zinkerz. I'll also throw PB&J and GP/Orange.
-
I've been using them quite a bit when the water is warm. My favorite setup would be a 1/2 oz weight with a 4/0 EWG hook fishing a beaver or creature type bait on it.

What A Chunk

Nice one! -
Well I Am Finally Trying This Out Hello
Quillback replied to Jeff Maberry's topic in Introduce yourself
Hello and welcome! -
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.
