The only time i personally am a big fan of jig fishing is when i can't get them to bite a minnow. With a minnow all i have to figure out is what depth and tightlined or bobber. With jigs i have to figure out which size, which color, which depth, which presentation, which speed. I will be honest, i use fishing to relax me and unwind. The more time i have to think about what the fish like is not letting me relax or unwind. This is my opinion. I know several guys who fish 100% jigs all the time, so i guess it is just a personal choice. My number is 931-723-0302 if you want to go sometime. After nine at night is best for me and like you, i work a long shift at bridgestone, so i know what kind of schedule your on. Take care and give me a shout.
