I've been trying to fish the jig MORE at DH that I have in the past. I've been having better luck, but still I'm not as successful as I think I can be......
Here are some things that I do........
* Use Flourocarbon..........6 or 8lb.
* Natural color jigs. I've been tying my own, but brown, black, green, etc, etc.
* Fish DEEP.........but don't be afraid to try different levels of deep.
* On 3 or 4 day trips.....Don't be afraid to try different things. I try to keep my jig rod, my fnf rod, and another rod tied up all the time. If the jig bite is not on, try the fnf. BUT try different tactics in different places, until you hookup.
* If you have a couple spots that you KNOW have fish......meaning you've caught them there before, you might want to REALLY work those spots. Sometimes I pull the trigger too quickly and move. There might have been fish there, and I was not fishing "right" for them.
* Try to find submerged grass. I've always had better luck when there is some grass around. Now, when you're catching them on bluff walls, you're probably not going to find grass, but I'd still look......
* Last but not least.........fish SLOW........Fish as slow as you EVER have, and then slow down some more.......
I hope this helps........
Later,
Geo
