We are in the dead heat of the summer. Let me tell you, we are still catching these bass. The last couple of days I've been messing around with a swim jig, or really it might be a tiny flippin' jig. I think it might be one of the little Strike King mini jigs. Either way, I have it paired up with a Googan Craw trailer. All I can say is I've had some really good success in the neighborhood pond over the last couple of days throwing this jig.
This isn't the first time I've thrown jigs, but this is absolutely the first time that I've had what I believe is the right equipment to throw jigs properly. Now that I'm getting more comfortable with braid, and also have the right baitcaster that is meant for throwing these type of lures...wow, it makes all the difference!
The Lil' Shaka and I put a couple goals together over the last couple of days. We are mimicking our favorite bass fisherman, and our goal is to put five fish in the boat every time we go! I think it's fun to do this with him as he continues to get better and better at fishing techniques. He's at an age now where he understands fishing tremendously, and it's fun to watch him really focus on the technique of the lures that he's throwing. The beauty of the whole thing is when he gets bit and is able to bring the bass to the bank, he is now completely hooked into fishing. I really hope this is something we are going to do together until the day I die.
This dude has mainly been using wacky worms. Last night when it started to get dark he tried out a wacky worm from Bass Pro Shops in the bubblegum pattern. He was killing the bass!
Some of the things that I've noticed with jigs are that the bass can be very ferocious with the bite. But, they can also kind of peck at your jig lure as well. So it is a little bit different when you're setting the hook for jigs that you need to get used to. But I'm super excited that I've had some success on these jigs and of course it means I will need to supersize the amount of jig lures that I have. Hah!
I hope all of you that are out there fishing are having great success. I hope all of you are getting those tight lines and those tugs. Stay committed, stay driven. 🤙🏽
