Winter Jig Fishing Basics | When, Where, and How to Fish Jigs for Winter Bass

[@randl2000]

I'm a KZbin junkie, especially for fishing. I believe you have one of the best KZbin channels out there.

[@pauleyplay]

Well said ! Total agree

[@funkymojo111]

Hi, I'm a junkie too

[@randyphillips9838]

Johnny, have watched about 7 or 8 of your videos now. Excellent Job! Specific, informative and a good pace to each video. I like how you make clear certain terminology even though it is probably not necessary for most, you hit it quickly and precisely as not to slow the flow. Love how you mix explanations with mapping visual and on the water application all in one video. You do a heck of a job with your productions. Keep it up!

[@Josey4u]

This has some great info in it. 30 minutes of a jig tutorial like this is GOLD.

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@skmechanic]

I love jig fishing so the more jig videos the better. Thanks for all the effort you put in to making such detailed videos, they really are some of the best!!

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks, Steve! Glad you enjoyed

[@dongabbard8021]

I’m just getting back into bass fishing. Took off about twenty years to raise the family. Thanks for all the information in your videos. I feel like I have been going to fishing school all winter. Thank you.

[@leoncoetzer596]

Hi Jonny, thanks again for an asome video. I've always truggled to catch bass on jigs and this video shed light on my problem.

[@tres1267]

Thanks for making this video Jonny, it was exactly what I was looking for. Location, gear, types of jigs and technique. Perfect. I would definitely like to see a summer jig video as well. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it is very helpful.

[@FishtheMoment]

I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@ridered6153]

Great info and breakdown. Personally a jig is my #1 confidence technic. Only problem is once you learn the power of a jig it's hard to put down. Your video breakdown of what's baits caught what fish across all your KZbin content shed alot of light on that power. Thank you Jonny.

[@retiredboxingref7620]

Saugeye guy here. Watching this is video is awesome. It will work great for our bottom huggers. Thanks sir!

[@0017Bulldog]

That does it. I am changing my screen name to FTMBF. Fish The Moment's Biggest Fan. You hit the nail on the head with this one Jonny. Absolutely what I needed. Once again, there is NO ONE out there that does this kind of preparation and editing to make a great vid for us.

[@robertharris7887]

Extremely thorough information. Great insight! I will definitely keep your tips in mind. Summertime jig tips would be great as well since I live in Texas. Keep them coming Jonny!!

[@preshitamalhotra1267]

I like that these are very life like. Seems like something fish would actually go after. I am going to try this out today.

[@skipwalker5931]

Great channel

[@jimmckenzie5453]

Well done. Nicely organized and edited . Only true experts can deliver this much useful information in such a short time period. Looking forward to 'Jig fishing' in the other seasons. Thanks

[@jtbassfishing370]

Thanks for the tips! Jig is definitely a tool I still need to work on mastering.

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks for the support, as always!

[@AlphaZuluPhotography]

Your videos are the best. The jig is one of my favorite lures to catch bass on. Please make one for summertime. I live in AZ and it’s always summer here.

[@andrewthomas4399]

You’ve made some awesome electronics videos, and I would love to see more. I really want to learn how to use my waypoints in the best way possible, such as, making a line with them around channel swings and how to properly line up with them so I know I’m making the right cast every time. Great video as always Jonny keep it up!

[@zangilbert6077]

Agree with Andrew about the waypoints and lining up for the cast. Thanks for the awesome videos! Will watch any videos that you decide to make.

[@charlesdomingue9625]

Awesome video's!!!! Please keep going with the jig video series. Your channel is the best informative You-Tube channel out there for actually showing you how to information about bass fishing and you don't hold back info. Thanks keep it up

[@timsmith7822]

Sure. Make the jig fishing videos for all the seasons. We’d all love to see them

[@kevinh.9348]

Good job young man. I enjoy your breakdowns a lot and you seem to explain it in a way it is easy to understand, especially your electronic series. Thanks for the good content, I have been wanting to throw the jig more, but I tend to throw a Missle bait on a wobble head instead because of confidence I guess. I bought some more jigs to give it a better chance this year. Hope you have a good 2019 bud.

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks, Kevin! Glad you like the videos!

[@smallvillefarm687]

YES, YES, GREAT! Can I help by clicking on ALL THE ADS ? You deserve a Lifetime Vacation. I live in Oregon and now they will all be seeing me at the scales.

[@woodys1999]

Good stuff man! I fish in the North West and just started gettin serous about bass. I have learned more from this one video then 10 combined of most any others. Thanks for the time you put into helping other learn the easy way.

[@kentm7465]

Thanks Jonny! I could talk about jig fishing all day. I fish the deep reservoir lakes here in Arizona. Deep rock piles and ditches are usually the winter digs for our bass. I have had great success slow hopping a heavy lipless crankbait here lately.

[@toneloc237]

Idk if you have seen my comments before but you have the most in depth videos and really focus on a lot of tips no one talks about that I’m sure a lot of people have questions on. Keep up the awesome videos

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks for the comments! I'm glad you like them!

[@kendawg44]

Good stuff Jonny! Do a video over spring time jigging, please!

[@kevinhutchinson1322]

I will try jig fishing more in 2019 thanks for the great video.

[@Desert_Angler]

GREAT info Jonny!!! I fish jugs a lot but not all the ways you have described here!!! I got some new stuff to try! I definitely want to see a similar video about summer jigs. I bet I can learn something new from that!

[@willwilliford5121]

Awesome video! I would like to see you do a jig fishing video for the spring/summer as well.

[@claytonhaske]

Another solid video Jonny!!! Yes, jig tutorial for each season. livestream is the way to go, I'm sure its easier on you, and your schedule too.

[@ianbean5137]

Great video. I love fishing jigs. Yes, more Spring jig fishing videos.

[@tomclark6689]

Great job Jonny. Now, how about Spring?

[@mikeg5523]

Jonny, awesome vid for jigs. Great illustrations as always dude!

[@deanplunkett3325]

Awesome video as always. I'd love to see your breakdown for jig fishing each season. Then I'd love to see you do a crankbait seasonal breakdown. Thanks for putting out these videos. Keep up the great work.

[@bassintheburgh]

knockout content. Seriously keep up the excellent videos. I was throwing a jig yesterday after the ice came off a local small lake, your video gave me some ideas on some things to change. keep the jig fishing series rolling, lets hit prespawn/ spring, summer, etc..

[@harolddrumwright2161]

Hey bro, great channel. Can you do episode on spring and summer jig fishing. Thanks

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks, Harold! Will do!

[@lineman1439]

Agreed!

[@JohnHibbard0808]

Incredible information, illustrations and delivery! You break it down in such a fantastic way that it is easy to understand and be able use on our own lakes. LOVE all your content!!

[@Larry77777]

Hey Jonny: You did a great job presenting (your animations were ESPECIALLY HELPFUL).

[@BubbaclubbaW]

Great video, the graphics really help in picturing what you are describing. Keep up the good work!

[@markmassa3359]

Great video. A jig series covering the different seasons would be very informative. Thanks for all of your videos.

[@landonmoore76]

Great info as always I've learned a ton watching your videos

[@frybrothersfishing611]

Cool breakdown, I like your choice of trailers.

[@chongpark2909]

Great video and channel. I really like how in depth you explain everything with illustrations.

[@goshbob]

Excellent video with some great detail. I took lots of notes. Yes!! Please bring on the other seasons when you have time!! Thx!!

[@danreder8985]

Dig the video, never have much luck with a jig but i kill it with chatterbaits in cold weather on my grass lake, good to know that its pretty much the same technique! Gonna give it a shot in the spring!

[@theojacobs7177]

Thank you for the great video. Ill be trying these techniques this coming weekend Jig fishing is my Achillles heel never had more than a nibble on it. Although ive been with guys catching slabs on it. Hopefully this changes this winter. Oh I'm in south Africa Keep making these awesome videos I'm a subscriber now

[@waterdoglures1352]

Great video Jonny!

[@clinthart6541]

Good video Jon a jig is always tied on in my boat my go to bait. Thanks keep it up.

[@theviron6]

Yes please, covering the seasons would be great!

[@robertfrancola8887]

Jonny I liked how you trim your weed guard.

[@jazzybrown01]

That is one of the best videos I've seen

[@williej.allenjr.510]

Great detail in your videos. I appreciate the information and look forward to watching many more of them.

[@jasonkauffman3046]

Great video man! Keep up the good work.

[@michaeledens1271]

Yes, make a video like this for each season!

[@outdoorswithchuck174]

Very well said brotha! Imma use these tips for my fishing channel here and put this to use. Nice 👌🏾

[@georgeakmon9386]

Very insightful, encouraging presentation!

[@ramonpezqueda4428]

I like your painting on the background👌🎣

[@garyperrine3619]

Great art work. More of everything. Good instruction

[@mikemason4792]

Your videos are excellent.

[@NormGfishing]

Cool tips. The animation brings it all together.

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

[@capenelson1560]

Killer video! Going to test this soon. Would definitely like to see more jig videos. Seems like many baits come and go from shelves, but jigs are a mainstay.

[@LarryPage72905]

Great video Jonny, keep up the good work! Thanks

[@robertwarden7641]

If you need a camera man some time let me know. I'd also be able to ask some really noob questions as i am new to bass fishing transitioning from inshore saltwater fishing when i moved here to Arkansas from Houston... you have the best bass fishing videos on KZbin. I definitely learn something from every video

[@danscholes9132]

Great video! Please create jig videos for the other seasons and consider a similar series for other baits. Thanks.

[@davidweston1031]

Jigs will catch you Big fish most of my big bass come on jigs Love them .From frozen over Ohio.

[@jamesmeyer7034]

GREAT. Can't wait to see the others.

[@ParkersOutdoorLifestyle]

Another great video! Definitely one of the best informational channels!

[@angleratlarge6787]

Great video Jonny! Thanks super helpful.

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

Another Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Would like to see a video for summer time jig fishing. Thanks again for taking your time to do these videos. Keep um coming.....waiting on HB mega Gen3 to come out late Feb.

[@michaelhowell2609]

Keep these series going Jonny maybe one with prespawn crank baits or spinnerbaits. Your channel is really growing I’ve watched your subscribers grow exponentially this last year and a half. Still your the best kept secret on KZbin but the secrets getting out, lol.😄

[@RedbeardOutdoors-IrishSetters]

Your content is so helpful! Keep it coming, winter bass fishing is tough and your advice is great!

[@boostseasonracing]

Great content on all of your videos

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@vrico222]

I'm interested to see how the guys in FLW do on the St. Johns here in Fl in a few weeks. I'm far from mastering a jig in our waters. I wonder if the leaders will be relying on them. If so I'll have to study this video up a few more times. Thanks for the great content as always.

[@LowBudgetBassin]

Yet another flawless video Jonny👍 I just started a fishing channel yesterday, hope to start uploading next week

[@ifyourasknimbassn8138]

Love the inclusion of visual representation +1 sub!

[@OleParksy1997]

Make the series. I really enjoyed this video. I’m trying to become a better jig fisherman

[@jeromedwojak918]

I live in the midwest, but I think your jig techniques would work in any fisherie. You just have to adjust to your lake contours and conditions, because most fisheries have those situations like 45 degree banks, bluffs, RIP rap, standing timber. But some of our lakes dont have deep grass in them. But overall I enjoyed the video and great information in it!

[@megarouge61]

Nice painting... Jonny Van Gogh? nice info sir good video as always!!! thank you

[@karenhick7]

Awesome video as always just love you

[@gjaification]

Thanks man you always have great content!

[@jayduke1808]

Good info maybe i can get more confident ive caught a few on a jig but i always go back to my worm or swimbait i guess i dont stick w jig long enough or working it right but i told my son next trip we are only bringing jigs in boat so lets figure it out or die trying

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

This is invaluable info

[@davewickham6821]

You should make a video for each season in jig fishing, good information on how, when and where

[@reellifewithcinco7858]

I went fishing here in Oregon near Eugene and it's been slow, and the jig was 1 thing I didn't think to try.... maybe tomorrow lol

[@mattcarte8989]

Im in southern oregon been fishing every couple weeks and have got one in the boat since late fall

[@FishtheMoment]

Let me know how it goes!

[@popaki9484]

At 19:56 you casted out so far so it seems in the video. Just wondering how do you cast so far? What’s the trick?

[@learningtofish7036]

You videos are close to perfection. This is my first year applying myself to really cathing fish. My water is high country reservors, very cold water. Tomorow water is 32 F but not iced over. Would you say I'm done for the year? P.S. no boat.

[@jazzybrown01]

Please make one for every season!

[@erniebrightfishing]

I've been going back over some basics. As an older feller I sometimes forget so a refresher course can be the duh moment I need to remind me of things I don't currently consider. Just want to send some love to Johnny Shultz @ fish the moment for what he's doing for the sport and up coming and beginner anglers. We all need more educating content like these videos.

[@robertwells9526]

I like your presentation here, very helpful. "You have quite a lot of know how for your age, keep these video's coming. :]

[@georgeakmon9386]

Brilliant!

[@patrickmcgarry7787]

Do you ever fish Pickwick lake on the north end in TN , MS , AL? Yellow creek area? Just watched your winter crankbait video. Cranking and jigs work at times.

[@masfishing1]

You do great informative videos. Yes, please do jig videos for all seasons. I dont fish jigs but i want to learn. As a bank fisherman , can i fish jigs up the rip rap or up the shelf, or that is not going to work? If u can throw in any pointers for bank fisherman that would be great.

[@okiefish7066]

I lose alot of football head jigs, especially on rocks...Ive been trying to do more finesse jig fishing lately...it seems i can keep track of the bottom and whats going on down there alot better.

[@Itchin2Fish]

Great vid! Could you do a vid on your rod and reel setups?

[@jigginwithjeff3050]

Great tips

[@gmwoolems]

Are you gonna be fishing any BFL's this year ?

[@hankglenn9939]

I lose a lot of jigs in brush piles maybe these tips can help me. Thank you

[@MySpinner]

It will snag no matter you do

[@shanethomasfishing]

Love the videos, next time i see you on Eucha we will have a friendly competition. LOL

[@heyjohnson5535]

What about when the lake is crystal clear but ur fishing where the waves are stirring some dirt up in the 1st 10 ft of water by the BANKS? Like chocolate milk colored by the bank but 10 ft out is clear as it can be. Would u then throw a green pumpkin or would u use the rattle chamber with a black and blue?

[@edwardthach1849]

I'm curious how people do bass fishing up north when there's ice cover. I imagine river fishing is going to be required if you can't or won't do ice fishing for one reason or another. Curious on strategies people have for bassin' in parts of the country where winter means no bass boats at all.

[@eagleeye9549]

How do you keep the jig from snagging the rocks? Thanks.
