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 SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 16-22, 2002
WEATHER: Sunny skies at the beginning of the
week turned into overcast starting Friday
afternoon but with no rain here in Cabo. You could
see it coming down in the mountains though.
We have maintained the same temperatures as last
week with the morning lows in the 60 area and
daytime highs up to 90 at times. We did have some
pretty windy days, Tuesday and Wednesday,
but the winds tapered off when the clouds started
to move in. (Silver Bells)
WATER: The water on the Pacific side was choppy
almost all week and on Tuesday and
Wednesday it was downright rough. More than a few
boats came in early because of that. The
water on the Sea of Cortez side has been much
better but the fishing there has not been as good
for some reason. Our surface temperatures have
been in the 75-76 region this week, warming up
just a bit from what we saw last week This
temperature has extended out to 40 miles in all
directions except south, and there it warms up a
degree at a distance of around 20 miles. (Joy To
The World)
BAIT: Mostly Mackerel this week with reports of
some Sardinas. Larger baits at the normal $2
each and Sardinas reported at $25 a scoop. (O
Little Town Of Bethlehem)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The full moon and Striped Marlin fishing
do not go together well here in Cabo so the
catch rate was down this week. A few boats were
finding one or two Striped Marlin that were
hungry but most of the fleets were lucky to see a
Marlin. The Blues are gone (but there will
always be one that doesn�t realize the water is
too cold!) but there have been a few Sailfish still
around. The Marlin and Sailfish that have been
caught have mostly been fooled with slow trolled
live bait and very few have been caught on lures or
found tailing. (Hark! The Herald Angels Sing)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Scattered football 5-15 pound fish
in the blind on the Pacific side through
Thursday then that dropped off. No reports this
week of anything much larger than 25 pounds
nor were there any reported found with porpoise.
The Pacific football size fish bit on cedar plugs
and dark colored feathers and a few anglers told me
they had luck on them by dropping iron after
hooking up on the troll. (Winter Wonderland)
DORADO: Most of the Dorado found this week were
fish in the 12-25 pound class. A few were
caught up to 50 pounds and most of the fish were
found either under floating debris (the larger
fish) or in the blind close to shore. Live bait
worked wonders on the larger fish and most of the
smaller ones were hooked on lures pulled for
Striped Marlin or Tuna. Most boats were finding
two to five fish to put in the box. (Jingle Bells)
WAHOO: The Wahoo flags I saw this week were flown
for inshore Sierra. That�s it folks!
(Silent Night)
INSHORE: Some nice Roosterfish and reports of a
scattered Yellowtail or two. There had been
steady action on the smaller Dorado as well as the
Bonita and Skipjack but all that pretty much
disappeared as of Wednesday and the appearance of
the green water caused by the winds. The
rest of the week the Pangas worked a bit further
offshore looking for Dorado, but not with a lot
of luck, at least from the anglers reports I
received. (Have Yourself A Merry Little
Christmas)
NOTES: This has not been an outstanding week for
fishing , but at least the weather has been
warmer than up north! people are always asking me
when is the best time to come to Cabo to fish
for certain species. All I can do is tell them
generalities based on past catch records, there is
no
way to predict how the fishing is going to be.
What it comes down to is this; �You will NOT
catch a fish if you are sitting on the beach
sipping a cervesa!�. No guarantees of fish, enjoy
being on the water and keep your fingers crossed,
remember that the worst day of fishing is better
than the best day in an office!. This weeks report
was written to the Christmas music from the
CD �Merry Christmas From Alaska�, a CD produced
in 1999 to help raise funds to benefit the
Children�s Hospital in Providence, Alaska.
Produced by Nightworks Records and in our hands
thanks to our good friends and clients Tim and Jill
Lawrence! �Felize Navidad� from George,
Mary, Juan and Manuel!
