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!

Anglers –
We thought the summer season had finally arrived last week when the weather had become hot and humid, more tropical, but once again this last week conditions cooled due to persistent south winds pushing in Pacific currents. Water temperatures were up to 80 degrees at the start of the week before dipping back down to a chilly 70 degrees and turning a murky green color throughout the inshore areas. By the weekend the conditions began to improve some and cleaner blue 73 degree water was reported found within eight miles of shore. Although the climate has been very mild and comfortable for this late in the month of July, the constantly changing ocean conditions have scattered the baitfish and gamefish as well. Just as we thought the cold currents are finally over with, we are set back once again with cooler off colored conditions, as we near the month of August we are optimistic that warm blue water will prevail and the offshore fishing action will get back on track.
Last year at this time there was wide open action for yellowfin tuna found around the Iman Bank, so far that has not happened yet this season, only a scattering of tuna were reported, most recently from the area of the 1150 off of Chileno. Dorado continued to be scarce as well, the few that are being found were in the warmer blue water and ranged in sizes from 10 to 30 pounds, striking on lures and trolled baits. Live bait supplies were limited, mainly just mullet and mackerel now available, sardinas have become very scattered off of the Puerto Los Cabos jetties where they had been congregating for so many months, all of the dredging activity and the higher surf conditions undoubtedly attributing to this situation. The recently opening of the channel of the new marina has also caused many of the schools of baitfish to move inside where they are not schooling on the surface and hard to be captured by throw nets.
There had been consistently good numbers of several species of pargo being found closer to shore, but now with the lack of their preferred baitfish (sardinas) the fleets have had one less option. Choppy ocean conditions also made it difficult for anglers to concentrate on the rock piles with yo-yo jigs, which had been producing amberjack and cabrilla, just too much current in recent days. The majority of charters are now trying their luck offshore, looking for the cleaner water and trolling a combination of lures and bait. There have been more striped marlin than any other species, often seen riding the swells on the surface, but at times they were not easy to entice into striking, a percentage were hitting on lures, but live mackerel proved to be the best bet, the stripers that were landed were ranging in size from juvenile 50 pound fish to hefty adult 150 pound plus specimens.
Quite a few large sized jack crevalle were found closer to shore while trolling with baits, but roosterfish were few and far between. Have not heard much from surf fishermen, this is normally the time when the season’s first snook are reported.
The combined panga fleet from La Playita sent out approximately 52 charters for the week and anglers accounted for a fish count of: 24 striped marlin, 28 skipjack, 34 bonito,13 dorado, 3 yellowfin tuna, 76 various snapper species, 12 amberjack, 62 jack crevalle, 4 hammerhead shark, 4 roosterfish and 17 cabrilla.
Good Fishing, Eric
