    Default Longlining Question


    I might be beating a dead horse because i am sure this has been talked about a million times. I have pulled cranks but
    never longlined jigs before. Has anyone pulled them in 3' to 4' of water and would you still tie 2 jigs on the line or go with 1?

    Personally, I would go with one.

    In water that shallow I would pull one jig but it would be a Roadrunner and I would probably speed up from my normal longlining speed.
    Russ Bailey did a show on Neeley-Henry some time back and they SLAMMED big crappie in very shallow water longlining.

    You can sometimes tie on 2 of the 1/32 jigs and as long as you go a little faster but not too fast that sometimes I think would be ok.

    I usually use one this shallow! Though, you can still use 2 we make 1/48 ounce jigs for this!

    Use bobbers about 4-6ft from jigs. You can troll any speed you want but .5-.8 is best.
    Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!

    1,,... May have to raise angle of rod to water for a more shallow running of your jig and/or adjust speed of boat.
