longlining jigs

[Crappie Shooter]

Does anyone longline jigs this time of the year? Just getting into longlining and not sure which seasons was best.

Well it depends on your lake some lakes are better than others. Spring is the best time " post spawn " for me. But some guy catch fish all year long lining. There will be some guys with more experience at this than me so take there advice of mine. I'm more of a one pole guy most of the time.

As long the fish are scatter. A method that is hard to beat. Been catching a lot long lining the last two to three weeks here in Eastern,KY.

Can someone explain long lining to me?

Well in a nutshell you cast your jigs out and use the boat to pull the jigs or minnows at a controlled speed. Depending on your states laws you can use more rod's to cover more water when fish are scattered.

Looks like it is just simply slow trolling jigs behind your boat....there are some YouTube videos out there that will explain the setup. Been doing it for over 25 years and never heard it called this before.

So what is the difference in pulling them behind the boat and pushing them Infront of the boat?

If you're pushing jigs your usually moving a lot slower .9 or slower. Pulling jigs I run .9 to 1.5 but usually around 1.0

Biggest difference is usually when "pushing" you're using weights. Other than that, it's just called "pushing" because the rods are in front of you. (as I understand it, anyway)
