The Master, a Grasshopper & the River...

!st & foremost THANKS Andy (aka:Crappieday) for the 101 on JIG fishing the river system & spending a relaxing morning OTW in your boat. No mishaps, wild stories, or ordeals of any kind to deal with, just jig w/bobber, vertical jigging & cast jigging, all of which produced specks of all sizes, bream(orange breasted variety included), & a large mouth(Rapala size, all be it, LOL) Andy is so easy going I refer to him as the "cool" instructor everyone wanted in class, back in the day. At one point I asked about rod movement & he smiled & said: "just do what caught you that last fish" I'm still the last person you want in a tournament, to count on as a jigging partner, but have a new appreciation for "THE THUMP" now. As well as the vast opportunities ALL our waters hold for speck fishing, not just trolling the lakes because they are there in good numbers during these winter months. I'm so delighted too have given this jig thing a honest try & have another CC.com member & friend to thank. Maybe now this grasshopper can, "take off the training wheels" as I referred to the bobber/jig fishing & cast jig these type waters more often, when the wind picks up...a few pics from the morning...
