When I started catching jig fish, I WAS HOOKED!

[@daveschutz5918]

G man is a GREAT seminar speaker

[@trouthunter.3201]

It seems to be one of the most versatile yet one of the hardest to master.

NO YOU NOT !!!! YOU HAVE IT ALREADY. YOU just don’t know it yet. Take on 1 rod 1 jig and 2-3 maybe 4 deferent trailers so you can only throw that jig all day you will know by the end of the day. By 1 jig I mean 1 color and type bring 2-3 like a 3/8 , 1/2 , 5/8 , 3/4 oz you know if you have to go heavy or light where you fish and bring 2 of each weight incase you brake off you might miss a Buch but then you’re going to stick 1 or 2 and let them tell you what to do and repeat it. You can do it brother it’s in every fishermen you just have to let it come out. I learned that in 92 shaking fish off for 3 days straight like a dummy in grass thinking I was hanging in the grass and a old trolled over and what are you doing shaking them fish off like that. I didn’t know what to say he said hay son do what I tell you. Yes sr it got to the “GRASS” I went to shake he said no son rip his face off I said. I did and caught a 12.6 and have not looked back.

[@JanoyCresva]

What helped me a lot is the way i drag it. I used to pull on the jig by moving my rod but when i started using just the reel to drag it, got like 10X more bites. Right after it lands in the water, let it sit for 10 seconds. Then quarter turns of the reel. Moves the jig 2-3 feet and let it sit after the feel 6-9 seconds. An old timer told me about letting it sit and it made all the difference.

I need to go to fishing school. I LOVE fishing or in my case, sitting somewhere holding a pole, but can’t catch a cold running around naked in a blizzard. Grandpa NEVER came home empty. Family of 16 in Depression those fish were important. After supper they got turned loose to hunt/trap/fish for tomorrow's supper. He'd set the hook and hand me his pole to reel in and was already casting another pole. Didn't get the "freezer full of meat" gene i guess... cousin did...S.O.B...😂

[@thebassuniversity]

Well, fishing school is exactly what we have, learn how to catch 'em at your convenience at bassu.tv Looks like you might be from Texas, you can come out and see us in-person in Athens next January. You can get tickets here bassu.tv/ticket

My area got soft swampy bottom how do I keep the jig from getting covered in shit

[@thebassuniversity]

Lighter weight might not get buried down in the defecation. Maybe try 1/4oz or 3/8oz with a meaty trailer. Also snapping it up off the bottom or hopping it might help clean the doodoo off (and the fecal cloud might attract some attention) Check out this whole class at bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/always-fish-a-ball-head-jig-gerald-swindle you might also want to check out bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/the-right-jig-for-the-job-john-crews and bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/micro-jig-fishing-iaconelli

[@PanhandleKid]

Most people just fish it to fast , keep it your “hand” feel it 24/7

[@Garminrules]

Is this slick?

[@GettingBentWithBo]

I need to fish the jig more... I am not a good jig fisherman.

[@LDHAl412]

It took the reff a Catlyin Clark time to Blow the whistle

[@HarryBurt-hk5gu]

Dad would tell me when i was young and learning. I would wait to long when the Cork would go under. Son he doesn't have it in his hands

[@thebassuniversity]

He was wise, and Gerald is too. Hooksets are free.

[@HarryBurt-hk5gu]

@thebassuniversity still is 84 and probably cussing the news as we speak
