Excellent post. Extremely productive approach and method to catch the shallow, shy bites.
Thank you. I thought the idea was to help folks with new methods, and I don't mind sharing something that has put a lot of fish in my boat...
Going to give this a try..sounds like fun.
When fishing from the bank, especially in current I like a jig under a cork. I use weighted corks. Just a little twitch gives the jig nice motion and after working it up the current I can open the bail and let it feed down currents. Just outside of eddies are my friend, along with any structure or drop offs, good places for fish to wait for bait and not use much energy fighting the current. Most time in current along with the weighted cork I use 1/8 oz jig
i use a float .....a bunch ....deep as 8 foot or so and the pinch on quill types ....never over 1/16 on the jig head and mostly 1/32 and 1/24 ....and ...
YES if you set it up right , they don't stand a chance .
Everybody love to see a bobber go under, even us big kids!
love these kind of posts, always learn something I already know but don't always use. thanks.
I do not use a float for jig fishing -- even in shallow water.
That's good info. Thanks
