Well it's about time...

Finally caught my first jig fish last night. Got two. One dink and one decent one, plus a bunch of hits and misses.

Had a black 1/8 oz Strike King Bitsy Bug with a Paca Chunk trailer tied on. The first (dink) nailed it as soon as it hit the water, the second ran with it a bit until I set the hook. I know it's no big deal but I like it when a bait I've never caught fish with produces for me.

Not a bad night for goofing around on the bank. We'll see what happens tonight on the boat....

Thats awesome. A jig is a tough cookie to figure out for alot of people so consider yourself ahead of the game here. Congrats and let us know how the next trip goes

You've broke down the door , it'll probably come a lot easier for you now.

I stocked up on a few jigs at the beginning of the season but never really put much effort into them. The little pond I got them in last night is very weed choked, so I had to clean it off after every retrieve.

Tonight we're heading out in the boat to a sand quarry that's not choked out with weeds. I expect to do well with it.

And man, those Paca Chunks got some stink to 'em !! Now I see what all of the fuss has been about. My strikes were all aggresive, I figure it was the chunk they were after.
