Thread: Announcing a Smallie jig swap

Attica, shoot me a pm with your addy and I'll send you another one. Atleast it caught somethin besides gar or drum before that mean ol fish went and stole it.:D

UG - No clue on the snake, i classify them loosely..... black water snakes and striped water snakes, this was the striped variety. :p This one was maybe a foot & a half long and they are all over in the small streams right now. They get out of my way pretty quickly, so they don't bother me too much. Only once did about a 2.5' one (black one, i remember well) think my leg looked like a resting spot while i was out wading........ THAT bothered me!!!!!

Soswine - Ahh, don't worry about it. You'd be tying alot to keep me supplied through the year. :D I loose alot of gear as you will see. I've got pictures of all the jigs so should be able to re-produce most of them. But would like to know the chenille name? Think i threw away all the toe tags when they went in my river box, lesson learned. :o




Fly Buster - Tied on your Big Bad Black & Blue jig today.....



Had many followers and lookers but this was the only one that actually wanted its picture taken. Unfortunatley..... on a cast to a deeper hole, i got hung up. With all the new weed and algae growing, the bedrock is what i like to call "snot rock" and i wanted to keep my work clothes dry..... so down to the deep blue goes another outstanding jig.............

Doubt i will be getting out monday, calling for couple inches of rain this weekend and into next week so my river will most likely be blown out for awhile. I will get to the other jigs though, stay tuned.

Attica, I thought I was hard on jigs, but I think your river has me beat!!
That is a good looking, healthy smallie!! Always good to see a healthy
population of smallies!!

River's still up some, when it gets low and slow i loose alot less just because i get braver to go after most of my hang-ups. Unless that is that i know there are alot of fish hanging out in one small hole, i'd rather loose the jig than spook the fish.

AF- awesome posts and pics. Enjoy seeing ya catch those smallies since we dont have 'em here.

Come on attica,It was like watching "The In Fisherman" here on this post.Don't stop now.lol.

I am planning to get back out and try the other jigs... but my lunch time river has been up and pretty muddy for the last week. Wanted to get out again today but had to get home early so i skipped lunch all together. Storms tonight, but if they don't muddy the river up, i will be out fishing tomorrow. I will come back to this.

This swap got me tying nothing but smallmouth jigs and making spinnerbaits for just smallmouth,lol.Let me know if you need some more testing things,I'de like to see them catching some fish in YOUR river.No rivers here,just lakes.
