    Default Skiptomylu and Thump It Jigs


    Finally got out on a local lake to day about 4 pm. I had purchased some jigs from Skip prior to our trip to FL in Feb., but really didn't give them much of a chance. I've hardly ever fished jigs for crappie, prefering live minnows under floats.

    I didn't tear 'em up today, but I did learn something. I fished two rods all afternoon, exact same setup except one w/minnows and one with Skip's jigs. Kept them within 3 feet of each other. Caught six total, four of 'em on Skip's jigs. All were dinks except one that came off as I reached for it from the boat. It probably would have went 12".

    I'm a believer now. Going back tomorrow, taking the grandkids. Should be fun. Thanks for a great product Skip!!

    Hey thanks for the kind words SketterJeff. Glad to hear them jigs are still out fishing minnows, LOL! Sorry you didn't get into the big ones and they for sure like jigs better.

    Default Skips Jigs Day 2

    Went out again today, got on the water a bit earlier than yesterday. Didn't get to take the grandkids, so it was serious fishing with my wife.

    She fished minnows under bobber all day, I fished nothing but Skips Jigs under a smaller bobber than I used yesterday. We caugh 17 crappie total. Mostly dinks, but a couple were worth keeping.

    Here's the kicker.

    Jeff (Skips Jigs) total 13

    Jill (Live Minnows) total 4

    She almost wasn't speaking to me by the time we called it a day. Says she's starting out with Skips Jigs next weekend. <G>

    Thanks again Skip!!
