jig & pig bite
 

This year I'm gonna concentrate on the jig and pig and the drop shot.This
year on the jig I've caught a 6 lb-14oz and a few 2 lb'ers.The bite is just
a tap ,like a worm bite ,but not a worm bite either..And I always have to
reel like hell to catch up to the fish because everyone of them has headed
for deep water,right at me. Is this a normal bite ?? I have always heard
that the fish caught on a jig end to be a little larger but I'm not sure,
although the fish I've caught this year have been a bit larger. Hell , now
that I think about it, every fish I've caught was a keeper.
Anyone willing to give me a few hints on this technique??
Thanks in advance
Ken

I use a hi vis line for jig and pig fishing, I can see the bite before I
feel it..

Might be a good idea for dead sticking Senkos too.

Ken,in my experiences with the jig&pig it helps to really watch your
line,especially early in the year when the bass seem to just nip at the
bait.The j&p fish we caught this weekend were just lightly tapping it,and
heading to deeper water,in a hurry.I was using a Curado so I was able to
catch up to them and use a hard sweeping hookset to cross their eyes.Good
luck,keep at it!!

I meant to post this to the group but emailed privately to Ken by
accident...my bad.

The best jig fisherman I have seen has a bit about it on his website.

Scroll down to "Tips & tricks, plus myths debunked" and check around
the dropdown menu for "recognizing a worm or jig bite". I went out the
day after Thanksgiving with Rich and he put more slopy big jig fish in
the boat than I could shake a stick at! I still need to learn how to
do this better myself. I know that I felt a few spit my jig, but never
felt them while they still had it in their mouth. Go figure... :D

Blush!

Thanks, Harry. Obviously, you ain't fished with my kid yet. He tells me the
secret is that he's had about every bone in his body broken so many times
in motorcycle wrecks that when he's fishing a jig, every bite hurts him, so
he can't help but feel them.
