Got back out today and decided to take king's advice by throwing out a jig and pig. I used a blue and black jig with a ragetail crawdad in the dark red/green color. My first hit ever on a jig came about 30 minutes into my trip, but i didn't set the hook hard enough. The fish felt to be a nice 4-5 pounder so I was mad at myself for missing what might be the only hit of the day. A couple casts later and 10 feet down the shoreline I got a chance at another bass. I set the hook hard on this one and got'em to the yak. Ended up being a solid 4-5 pounder. I finished the day with 2 more bass for a total of 3. I really enjoyed fishing the jig because you can feel every bit of structure you hit and you always have to be aware of little movements in your line and whether you are setting the hook on a bass or structure.
