How to Fish Hair Jigs for Bass | Offshore Summer Fishing

[@timothymason8779]

I enjoy fishing hair jigs. Thank you for your valuable time and valuable information 😊

[@visionsofbass]

Still the most informative, high quality videos out there

[@richardblake4777]

Been fishing hair jigs on Ouachita and Degray for 45 years. I use 6 or 8 lb test on a spinning rod in 20 to 60 feet of water off points. Always amazed at how much the line jumps when they get it.

[@magic2066]

u r the bass MASTER, really. thx for the great videos

[@ps7462]

Just tied up a bunch of the these. The tails from younger deer don’t have hair that long! Fortunately I have quite a few tails. Can’t wait to try these! Good info thanks!!

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

I love catching the 12-14” eaters. They don’t always have to be big ones. Another great video, Thanks Professor Jonny. I look forward to more electronics lessons. If you cannot see them on your graph, you don’t have much confidence. Thats me.

Roger Scheuermann DONT EAT BASS ITS BAD FOR THE COMMUNITY PLEASE

[@dong8307]

Love it. Will be adding to my arsenal for the summer.

[@waterdoglures1352]

Great graphics! I really appreciate the effort you put in these videos!

[@jmwalls73]

Outstanding, Jonny! Your knowledge and videos always deliver! Keep up the great work!

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

Great video and tips. Now we just need a boat to get out to them. 👊🏻

[@terrywilson1813]

I suck at offshore fishing but love fishing the banks thanks for the tip I'll give it a try next time

[@jeffgapen4522]

Great video, I tried the cumberland pro hair jig and the smallest bass has been 3.2 lbs largest 5.8 lbs, it flat out works, but not all the time.Thanks

[@duckhead0]

great vid! looking forward to seeing you on tour as a pro!

[@michaels1423]

Jonny, can you do a video or talk in Tuesday live stream about what pros mean when they say firing up a school.. baits technique etc.. great video!!!

[@0017Bulldog]

Another awesome vid Jonny. Fantastic editing.

[@tablerockkid8237]

Great video. Love catching the spots here on Table Rock. Talk about vicious predators, its probably good they don't get much bigger! 😄

[@jimmycleveland1373]

I like the black max reels as well.

[@kidiraq8381]

Wow, have a ton of ole hair jigs from saltwater fishing, never thought of it as a bass lure, I’ve been schooled again!

[@tomselick6983]

Thanx for posting 👍 Also, u kno I’m going to try one of those reels

[@robertfrancola8887]

Another great video.

[@user-wn6fh6oh2f]

This is a great video

[@handyallaround5776]

another great video, could you do one analyzing jacob wheeler win on chicamauga this past weekend, and how he alternated between ledges and shallow and especially the lake map contour areas?

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Was going to say they wear this thing out on lake Chickamauga on the ledges but you said it as I was texting it lol

[@danham3344]

Great video! Have you ever tried this next to deep bridge pilings? Have a clear local lake where spots set up on long deep pilings. Seems like it could work. Thanks again for the great work you do on these videos.

[@kennyhaworth9606]

awesome video

[@mathewpeace]

I love your videos! I have been watching you for years. You're a great teacher man. I fish for freshwater stripers mainly. They love hair jigs but I didn't know how until now. I know they have stripers in Arkansas. Have you ever fishing any of those lakes?

[@LowBudgetBassin]

You're right about the BlackMax , all I've had to do with mine is clean and oil it for the last 4 years but it's still buttery as the day I bought it. 🤜💥🤛🎣

[@diggy561]

Great vids amigo

[@joshsterling5778]

I’m curious what lake did you mention that you went to in Oklahoma I have never heard of that lake nor can’t find it

[@PACK-ge5gu]

Got a few comming for a tourney in August

[@adamharris8389]

Johnny, thanks for all the great content! Why do you reel the jig to move it through the suspended fish, why not use the rod to hop the jig?

[@DRfishing18]

Johnny what handle grips do you use on the black max?

[@robertburns8597]

@@@@@@how do you like the black max reels? I have several and love them

[@sojourner8690]

Live it man....are you still putting your presentation in relation to current or just fan casting all directions?

[@anothersomebody8195]

Hey Jonny, could you do a video on feeling the bite. You can't see it in a video and nobody says what they're feeling for when they let the line go limp as the jig sinks back to the bottom. This is where I tend to lose my confidence

[@brodysbassin5338]

Sometimes you can watch your line and you will see it jump when you get a bite. Hope this helps

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@brodysbassin5338 Thanks Brody. That does!

[@gordjohnson70]

Reeling fast = a more horizontal presentation. Lifting the rod raises the bait. Think about it.

[@MichaelCoburn]

You still in AR? Just left this am back to CLE!

[@kidiraq8381]

@FishTheMoment, can you link you video where you mention what you have your presets on, I can’t find it again?

[@Boon-ie1rq]

No one ever talk about barotrauma. Fish deeper than 25 feet tends to die if you're catching and releasing. At about 30 feet, atmospheric pressure is doubled. Many states recommends keeping fish if you target deep water fish and only catch and release in the shallow water.

[@ztemde978]

Great video, have you tried a trailer hook on the hair jig for those short strikes?

[@anothersomebody8195]

Replay at 10:50

[@Chilly-Cooks]

As a table rock angler id love to know a couple of the spots your at here so i could go practice some of these techniques!

[@FishtheMoment]

Check out this live stream. I show where I caught these bass on Navionics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5LJkGyCrrZ2bqc

[@crapmusstank6558]

That's kinda how I fish my chatterbaits and usually do pretty well. Can never get them to bite a straight retrieve.

[@SammyBenitez]

What’s the thermocline at on that lake? Seems deep for summer time.

[@n8ivemafia1]

Your the best

[@Hegelmaus81]

Hair jigs? Are these the same as bucktails?

[@thedillybar]

How is this different than bouncing it off the bottom with the rod? Does it matter?

[@kenpoman1]

Yes it matters......you are trying to get a reaction strike .....just crank the handle 5 times fast and stop and you will feel a tick when they hit it on the fall.

[@Jfldhr]

Can u tell me how many lb test line u using?

[@jdogg661420]

that's a big hair jig.. ive never tried em that big.. from shore.. I have done a float and fly.. where I use super tiny jig like that under a bobber and got a hog near a ledge and two stripers and one smallie that day.. the trifecta. i think i might have to upsize it to one of those jigs and get a bobber that hold that thing up and try one of those from shore.

[@jasonsims4029]

Do you have to fizz those fish?

[@stevemitchell8631]

I live around your neck of the woods and have fished a couple of spots u fish ... but would like to get together to pick your brain on a couple of spots

[@ryanvernatter3537]

Will bass stay down past the thermocline?

[@Jerry-xx8dx]

No

[@kckman52]

why do you look at your pole everytime you set the hook?

[@jqsreefshack3457]

Does this bait work good in Oklahoma the land of chocolate milk colored water?

[@lonniehall9006]

I have those, never used them.

[@marvinmendoza4050]

A Bold guy gave a thumb down

[@anothersomebody8195]

Clearly they bumped it accidentally :-)

[@MySpinner]

To be honest some lakes the bass won't eat that lure

[@kennyhaworth9606]

what about Florida lakes

[@kentyler966]

Hey Bud, you fizzing those bass? If not those fish do not survive being yanked up from deep water.

[@landonmoore76]

Yes they will If they're released they go right back down. They only need to be fizzed if you put them in the livewell

[@mattseifert]

NC Bassin that’s untrue. They need to be fizzed any time their bladders expand. If not they can’t regain depth and will possibly die.

[@landonmoore76]

@@mattseifert depends on fast you pull them up and how fast you get them in the water. I think he knows what he's doing he's a deep water expert

[@mattseifert]

NC Bassin I didn’t question what he’s doing. As you can see, none of them had their bladders expand. In my response I said they need to be fizzed anytime that the bladder expands.

[@anothersomebody8195]

I think you have to be deeper for the sacks to expand. The F&W here suggests around 100 FW for saltwater

[@mattseifert]

First!

[@butchpeyton2469]

Another great video.
