    Default The art of jigging from the Bank


    Since all I have to fish at the moment is my home pond. How do all you experts fish with a jig from the bank?? Inquiring minds wants to know. Seems night crawlers and shiners aren't working these days for me...

    Same way I fish a jig when I'm not on the bank: cast out, count down to desired depth, reel back slowly. If the water's really shallow, fish the jig under a float.

    Cork and jig! Lighter jigs in colder weather=slower fall=lots more bites!

    Approach the water with a jiggin' pole (12' to 16') and start at the edge of the water and swing the rod
    out and all the way 'round to the bank again, a semi-circle. Take a step to your left and repeat, all the way
    'round the pond. Bet you catch some fish. Use 1/16th to 1/32nd oz. jig. Keep your line tight and good luck.

    Never thought of that semi-circle technique but I'll give it a try.
