Turtle135 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Congrats. One of my favorite set ups is a black/blue jig with paca craw Thanks, I have a lot of confidence in that presentation. Below is a snapshot from my AquaVu of the bottom in the spot where I caught that bass. I figure a dark colored jig like that can be seen from quite a distance against that bottom color. 1 Quote
jyu87 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Ugh, I was fishing today in the rain as well. I'm located in South Jersey. Got skunked... Quote

That rain was pretty brutal but I was able to get out of that breeze. That's winter fishing, I only got the one bite in five hours. I had the jig motionless on the bottom for at least 30 seconds and she just picked it up. Second biggest thrill of the day was the car heater on the drive home. Quote

Second biggest thrill of the day was the car heater on the drive home. yeah the only reason i had to call it was because i went to the other side of the lake and it was frozen over. I said screw it. I'm going to get back out there tomorrow and see what what happens. I'll try your jig paused for 30 seconds method. 1 Quote
