Thread: something to try....

if you got a free rod holder on your nightstalk setup heres something to try that may put a extra fish or two in the cooler. put a couple flick tails or comparabel jigs on a rod and drop it down about 10 ft or so and set the rod in the holder and sorta keep you eye on it. the rocking of the boat will work the jig and you may be suprised at what you catch. dont worry about settin the hook. the fish will do it for you.

rango i also use this tatic most people use too much action when jig fishing at nite. dead sticking works pretty good most of the time.

just about every night we think to put a rod out with some jigs on it well pick up a few fish. it gives you another chance at one of crappos soldiers....

I've thought about doing this before, because I usually catch bigger crappie on jigs during the day.

Rango,

Do you catch bigger fish doing this?

Rango.....The fish that won the Feb rodeo was caught on a white jig just like you are saying to do. Rod over to the side out of the way and out of mind till its bent down.

i wouldnt say they are bigger, but like i said, if you put it in the holer and forget it till the rod goes down, its a good way to pick up some extry fish here and there.

yep, thats the way to pick up some extra fish, and who knows, it could be a winner. .weve been doing it for awhile. its a good way to fish a extra rod or two you dont wanna mess with baiting and such.
