    Default playing around tank test


    Playing around in the fish tank with different baits and how they act in a vertical presentation in my fish tank.

    So here are my findings and action packed video review. :D

    LOL, :D This is why.
    I just wanted to show everyone how they act in the water. Then your fishing it 1"-2" or even 17"-20" down, you can't see what your bait is doing. So all I was doing was showing how these baits act under water in a vertical presentation.

    Nothing funny about it, and they are tetras mostly, not goldfish.

    I've been catching perch, crappie, and gills.










    And I can't wait till the ice is gone so I can get back out there and get some more, action.

    That is why.

    FIsh oN!

    Camofish,

    That is a nice aquarium. I also test my jigs in an aquariun under an actual bobber because I want to see for myself what they will do underwater.

    You've got to learn how to set the hook properly. I saw you missed quite a few good bites. :D

    Now that is funny. You just got to train those Tetras! A Crappie knows how to inhale a jig. :D:D:D:D

    So true, I didn't know if I should have bent or cut off the point, I didn't want any sore lipped tetras to learn the way of one bite twice shy. :D And that is why I feed them early in the day so they won't end up twice shy.

    I didn't see much action on any of the jigs, whether it was another jig or a THE jig. Give me an old fashioned home spun Maribou and it will catch just as many fish as anything you got. Blue gill bite anything. I'd bet I could cut up one of my stinky socks and fill a freezer with Gills. Maribou has more action than anything presented in that fish tank, that's a fact. I will comment on the size of the Blue Gill though, it's a dandy. It's rare they make it to that size around these parts as they are nothing more than fish food for the Bass and Cats.
