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 14-20, 2003
WEATHER: This weeks highs were in the mid to high 80’s and the lows were in the high 50’s.
We had a bit of scattered cloud cover early in the week, clearing toward the end. No rain, of
course. The wind died down from last weeks blowing and we had only slight breezes for the most
part.
WATER: Surface conditions have been excellent this week with only small swells and a slight
chop almost every day. Water temperatures on the Pacific side have remained in the mid to high
70’s and the Cortez side has been about the same. The only exception on the Cortez side has
been a fairly strong temperature break over the area of the Gorda Banks and in shore to just south
of San Jose. There, the in shore water and water to the north of the Banks has been as cool as 72
degrees while just a very short distance away the water was showing us 76 degrees. Of course,
the cooler water was green as well. Over all, I would call the water conditions good for the entire
week.
BAIT: Bait of the week has been Caballito, as normally happens with the new moon. They
have been the usual $2 per bait and there have been Sardinas as well at the normal $20 per bucket.
FISHING
BILLFISH: Marlin fishing was slow this past week with the exception of those willing to put in
the time soaking live baits deep up to the north of the Pacific Lighthouse. There was a small
concentration of Striped Marlin in the area and if you put in the time you got bit, but it was a tide
event, you had to be there right when the water started moving after the slack. In other areas the
fishing was sketchy with few Striped Marlin sighted on the surface and few Blue Marlin strikes. I
would venture to guess that the Billfish success rate for the Marina was probably as low as 10%,
but the few boats that worked the deep dropped live bait had at least quadruple that rate, with
some boats getting multiple bites and fish. The water is still warm enough for Blue Marlin and
there were a few caught, mostly in the 250-300 pound class.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin were far off shore this week, at least most of them. I did
talk to a few boats that were able to find Pods of Porpoise as close as 11 miles and also were able
to get fish out of them, but for the most part the fish were 30 miles out. Average size was just a
little bigger than footballs at #20, but there were a few good catches of fish to 45 pounds. Best
areas seemed to be straight south 30 miles and from there to the south end of the San Jaime
Banks. Live Sardinas on #2 hooks dropped back in a chum line worked when the fish were not
moving fast, otherwise it was a run-and-gun deal if there were more than three boats working the
fish. For only one or two boats working, feathers in dark colors and cedar plugs worked well.
DORADO: There were some great catches of Dorado made this week, at least early in the
week. Almost all the action was on the Pacific side up around Golden Gate Banks. The key to
the great results was plenty of live bait and being able to find floating debris. Quite a few boats
were able to do both and caught limits of Dorado to 35 pounds with a few fish a bit larger. In all
other areas the fishing was slow for Dorado, with only a scattered fish showing up. There were
fish in close to shore, sometimes within 100 yards of the beach, but for the most part these were
smaller fish, the larger ones going a possible 15 pounds.
WAHOO: The floating debris holding Dorado was also kicking out some nice Wahoo to 50
pounds to the first boats on the scene. As many as four fish a boat were found on some of the
wood out there. In other areas, the edges of the San Jaime and the Golden Gate let go of some
fish in the 40-70 pound class and I heard that there were a couple of large fish, close to 100
pounds caught on the Outer Gorda Bank early in the week. On the Cortez side live bait seemed
to be the best bet while deep swimming plugs and metal jet head lures worked well on the Pacific
banks.
IN SHORE: Sierra, small Dorado and a few small Roosterfish pretty made up all the inshore
action this week. Oh yeah, a scattering of needlefish as well! Most of the Pangas that went out
decided to try off shore as far as 10 miles since the fishing just off the beach was so slow.
NOTES: It is strange that the flights down to Cabo are almost all full but there seems to be so
few people in town. Perhaps it is the holiday season and most of the people are families and just
stay at the resorts. The fact that there are so few people in town show up in the number of boats
going out this week, it has been slow for charters as well. Add in the fact that the fishing has
slowed down, and I start to feel lethargic! This week is Christmas though, and everyone here is
starting to get into the spirit. I hope that where ever you are, you are getting into the holiday
spirit as well. Perhaps you will get a fishing trip to Cabo from Santa! Felize Navidad and tight
lines, see you next week! This weeks report was written to the music of Lacy J. Dalton.
