Tip&Trick Description 1:
Jigs come in all sorts of shapes, colors, sizes, and even skirt materials. There are a bunch of different ways to fish them as well. However, to be able to catch them when the fishing is tough, you have to be very versatile. In this article, I will go through different ways of fishing jigs and I will begin to get you acquainted with this wonderful lure called a jig, in this little guide called “Jiggin’ It”.
Let me first give you a little bit of “background” about jigs. Jigs come made with many different kinds of materials. Just to name a few hair, tinsel and silicone. However, in this guide we will mostly be talking about silicone jigs. Silicone jigs are much easier too fish. Being that when they get wet, they become waterproof making them easier to slide through thick vegetation. To help aid the jig going through the thick milfoil some people use scent.
Jigs come in many different shapes and size, they even come with different shaped heads for different types of applications. They come made with a flipping, swimming, and even a stand-up type head. They also come in an array of different weight heads.
Jigs even come in countless colors and even different shades. It is best that when you first start out fishing a jig you should stick to basic colors. Some of the basic jig colors would include brown and orange, moss green and even black and blue.
When selecting a jig by its size you want to use as less weight as possible. Using less weight will give the jig a more realistic action and presentation. You also need less weight because bass will normally hit the jig when it is on the fall, and using less weight will help the jig fall slower. While we are talking about fall rate lets talk a little about jig trailers. Plastic trailers work great for cooler water, when the fish are more active. Jigs with pork are a deadly combination when the water temperature drops below 60. When you pick a trailer, you should keep in mind to match the trailer color to the color of the jigs skirt.
Now lets get into how to fish a jig. There are many different ways to fish them. One of the more popular ways to fish them is to do a hop and swim type retrieve. When you do this, you should make a long cast and then let the jig rest on the bottom for a few seconds, and then slowly lift your rod tip and let the jig fall back to the bottom. Then after a few hops you swim the jig a few feet, then begin to hop the jig again. This hop and swim method has produced greatly for many people all throughout the country.
Another way to fish a jig is to just hop the jig on the bottom or even drag it. However, one of the deadliest ways to fish a jig is to swim it close to the bottom or above a weed line. A seven-foot heavy action rod will give the jig enough action to entice big bass, be sure to pick a rod with a soft tip and enough backbone to horse the big boys out of the thick stuff.
The last technique I am going to cover is flipping and pitching. To do this you should flip the jig into weed pockets or into shoreline cover. When you do this, a good choice is a seven and a half foot heavy action rod and thirty-five pound monofilament. The heavy action rod will be stout enough to pull a five pound bass out the roughest spots you can flip your jig into.
This is just a little guide on how to fish a jig. If you experiment with different ways to fish them and you find out which technique the bass wants, you will have a killer day out on the water!

Cabo Fish Report
December 15-21, 2008
WEATHER: We continued with the cool, overcast conditions for most of last week. We did see a couple of days with plenty of sun, but for the most part it was partly to mostly cloudy. Our daytime highs were in the mid 80’s and our nighttime lows remained in the mid to high 60’s.
WATER: With light winds most of the week the only rough times at sea were early in the morning between the lighthouse and the Arch, past there things calmed down, the swells were at 3-6 feet but there was plenty of space between them and not too much wind. On the Cortez side of the cape things were much smoother with swells at 1-3 feet between Cabo and Punta Gorda, and almost glass-like conditions. Water temperatures remained in the mid to high 70’s throughout the area except for early in the week when 80 degree water showed on the San Jaime Bank and right next to shore past the arch we had 74 degree water. At the end of the week there was a pretty strong demarcation at the 1,000-fathom line directly south of the Cape where 80-degree water on the outside met 78-degree water on the inside.
BAIT: Caballito were available at the normal $3 per bait, most of them were small ones, Mackerel were”catch your own at Golden Gate Bank' bait and conditions and water temperatures have not been good for Sardinas.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin bite dropped off just a bit at the Golden Gate Bank but boats were still piling up the numbers with several methods. Drifting with live Mackerel both on the surface and dropped down to 100 feet or so worked well, as did slow trolling live Mackerel through the area. Probably the most exciting and frustrating method was to wait until the fish could be seen feeding on the surface, indicated by birds diving, running to the fish and then throwing live bait into the area. Combat fishing at it’s finest; many fish were cut off by other boats trying to do the same thing. Elsewhere there were a few Striped Marlin caught along the beach on the Pacific side and up around the San Jose area.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: An occasional school showed up around the San Jaime Bank this week and fish to 60-80 pounds were caught, but they did not stay in the area for long. Boats fishing live bait deep for Marlin at the Golden Gate Bank also caught a few nice fish to 150 pounds. I heard reports that boats fishing from the Puerto Los Cabos Marinas in San Jose were getting fish to 80 pounds on a fairly regular basis but have no other information on that.
DORADO: The Dorado bite was a repeat of last weeks and I don’t know if it will last much longer as the water continues to cool down. The only place that I heard of having a decent Dorado bite was just off the beach between the lighthouse on the Pacific side and the beach to the inside of the Golden Gate Bank. Within a mile of the shore boats were picking up between one and five Dorado, some of them very nice fish around 25 pounds, but most of them around 15 pounds. There were some fish up around the Punta Gorda area from what I overheard, but I could not get any information on numbers or sizes.
WAHOO: I didn’t hear of any Wahoo being caught this week.
INSHORE: The cooler water has brought the beginning of the Yellowtail and Sierra fishing with it. Pangas working off of the rocky points on both the Pacific and the Cortez side were able to get into some decent fishing for both these species as well as some nice Pargo right in amongst the rocks.
NOTES: Just a reminder of how important communication is. I had a client this week that I thought had told me that he and his buddy wanted “lots of action, plenty of fish, and a Marlin would be ok”. This is what I told the captain so they went looking for Dorado and Tuna. I received a note from him later that after having caught only two Dorado on the boat we had booked for them, they had booked another boat and that based on the results and what they had observed, our crew had “not really been trying for Marlin, which is what we had wanted to target”. Please be sure you clarify things with the captain when you get on the boat. Have a Very Merry Christmas! Or Happy Hanukah Until next week, tight lines.
