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 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...
