	Trout & Mini-Jigs

	Help with self discipline - Texas Fishing Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Fish each part of the structure with a different lure until you find what works.I have found that fish tend to bite the jig better when they are holding tight to some type of hard cover (rock,timber).
		When you purchase jigs, pay particular attention to how and where the eye of the jig is attached.Flipping jigs eyes are attached perpindicular to the jig because they are meant to be fished on a short line close to the boat.
		Casting jigs usually have the eye in a more parallel position to the body of a jig, allowing you to fish the bait through cover with less hang-ups if you are casting or pitching a jig.

	"On Jig Fishing with a Fly Rod" by Ken Abrames, from Ken Abrames' Striper Moon: Articles Archive
		It is done by moving the rod smoothly away from the fish until the pressure from the fish is felt, then the rod is speeded up against the back pressure from the fish, and the hook is punched into the fish's mouth in a series of forceful jolts.
		The jig is never pulled away from the fish and they will often bear down on the jig when they feel the pressure from the rod.
		If you use this retrieve with a jig, realize that it is the retrieve and the depth of the retrieve that are the factors that you are using to catch the fish and not the weight of the lure that is important.

	Jig Fishing by Mitch Looper
		This is important to my night fishing, as I make a lot of long casts, and with a lot of line out, it is important to get a lot of the stretch out of your line on the hookset (there is a lot of stretch in 30 yards of mono or copolymer line).
		I keep constant contact with the jig, even as it falls (which is one reason I use a jig rather than soft plastics, soft plastics seem to get a lot more strikes if allowed to fall on more of a slack line, which means you can't feel them).
		I believe for the most part, that the biggest bass in the lakes I fish are going to be in the middle and lower portions, where there is lots of deep water and access to shad, and closer to the banks, crawfish.
