Randy gives an advanced jig fishing seminar to specifically address Pitching And Flipping Jigs…#jigs #bassfishing #flippingjigs #pitchingjigs #fishing #fishthemoment #bass
Information is excellent as always. But I want to thank you for other reasons this time. I really appreciate how you understand your viewers. By that I mean always thanking us for taking our time out to watch, and respecting the fact that we all have many things to do throughout the day. Your short and get to the point educational sessions are great. I don’t have to sit around for 30, 45 and even longer minutes listening to a lot of yakking and getting absolutely nothing in the end for it. So thank you for that.
I was always of the mindset that the trailer needed to match the jig. While fishing with my son-in-law he started using a green/brown jig with a dark blue trailer and was getting bites and I wasn't. This weekend I was fishing and using a black/blue jig with a matching trailer (because the green/brown setup virtually disappeared in the water) and wasn't getting bit so I decided to use a green pumpkin trailer with the black/blue jig and started getting bites. Less than 2 ft. visibility and bright sunny day 4'-6' deep, 90 degrees out and water temp was 80. Flipping up along the weed line and then letting it "soak" a few seconds then dragging it out slowly on the bottom. Proof that sometimes you need to mix it up! Thanks for the video Randy!
I know, it's dumb. If you don't want the advice, don't take it. I think sometimes people confuse disagreement with dislike. I think it's kind of spiteful.
Funny you say ",Turn this video on while your driving to soak up the info". I do this every single day. To work. From work. On lunch break. Basically any time I'm in the truck or toilet. Lol. Helps me a ton
That black and chartreuse skirt color worked in clear tanic water for me with a chunck that's blue flake,grn pmkn. The jig and chunk has been getting better, and i been using 20lb fluorocarbon and a 7 to1 reel 7ft3 med hvy.The 3 layer i like on 1/2,and i did 4 on 3/4 to make my pb&j.go Randy!💥🎣👊
Nice start to your advanced jig series. I'm a jig fanatic. Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts and tips on this. Your jig tips my favorite topic on your channel. Great job. Thanks Randy.
This time of year, I start using my ribbontail worms and I also continue to use my jigs but switch all my trailers to ribbontail for the summer. Works good for me here in northeast Arkansas. I also switch my trailers on my spinnerbaits to ribbontail for the summer as well.
I can’t wait till you get more detailed about jig’s. It’s something I’ve been seriously been working on for three years now and fishing more than 4 - 5 times a week. I truly think jig fishing has the most vast ways of catching big to even smaller Bass... if there was a college course on the subject I’d never miss a minute of a class! lol but I’m obsessed with pitching and flipping, so much so I have to put them down sometimes to catch them different way’s that could be more productive!
What would be nice this spring is that you demonstrate your abilities in real time on the water, i know that is asking a lot from a Pro.. I am also from Mo. it's called ( the -show-me )state . great videos, thanks for sharing..............
Very good fishing philosophy of jig fishing video. Your insights gained from years of competition are very helpful since you tend to use and do what works.
I can't wait until work is over to check this out! I love jig fishing more than anything. I just moved back Michigan for a new industrial electrician job, so I'm living on the lake for the next couple months while I get my own house out here. I've been dock skipping jigs like madman out here, every dang day, can't wait to see some tricks I've never thought of. Sucks I'm stuck in this noisy shop and can't hear anything
Protect your ears. Hearing damage comes to bite you when you get to my age. People get mad when you have to ask them to face you and repeat themselves. Not fun.
Jig fishing is something that I want to learn more about. I have a few times out on a friends boat and I did ok but not off of the bank, a boat is on my bucket list, just saving my pennies. Thanks Randy for this in depth video on jigs, it is great! :)
Being stuck on the bank sucks. Having to hike miles, and then down and up steep hills with slippery vegetation sucks, but it’s the ticks that really suck. I just paid what I was saving up for a kayak to a doctor due to a nasty tick bite.
Hello From South Africa ! Love your content and many South African fans ! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing you knowledge really appreciate it. :)
Randy you said you sacrifice bites for quality. I notice that when I use jigs around timber or lay downs, the bites I do get are big. I have done very well flipping jigs. I have probably maybe caught 3-5 bass less than 4lbs. Most of them are at a minimum, on the larger side. This is something I’ve observed to be repeatable.
Great content as always. Definitely and "advanced" video but still some good info on some basics, like combos for water clarity and weather (daylight/cold-front considerations). But the "advanced " stuff seems to require "time on the water" for experimentation....and that's what I don't have the "need" for. I like fishing, but it's not tournament level. Regardless, always great content!
Good content, lately I've been tying my jig up with a non slip loop knot. I notice it imparts a little more wiggle on the jig as it falls especially with a lighter jig. I also prefer this knot on jerk baits to instead of a split ring.
Great lesson. Did not realize how complex jig fishing can be. Also thinking about u and your family. I know how difficult it is to lose a father. Stay safe!!
I’m not a finesse jig type of guy , I like big and bulky skirts with more strands and I don’t like football style neither , but I’m with you on a certain weight for the fall , i like my trailer on a longer side too
Love the indepth videos, I will say your videos are never too long , I am usually bummed that they are over .. I definitely need to get my confidence back with the jig . I don't fish it enough anymore. It is one of if not my favorite way to catch em . I am curious about what brand jig heads you like to use. Is there a certain brand you prefer or many different brands or do you maybe have them poured been wondering about that ?
I'm a jerk bait and jig fanatic. From now until mid April I'm jerking.. after that until winter I'm jigging. I love it. Probably a little to much lol. If it's tough I'll throw a Shakey head during jig time. I'm going to try an ol monster as. Trailer in grass this year
I know it would be a long video but I would like to see a video most everything you know about jig fishing in one video, or make a set group of all your jig videos.
Q1: Why would I want a faster fall rate, besides when the fish are deep and I don’t want to wait for the jig to reach the bottom? Q2: Does selecting for larger fish actually attract larger fish, or does it just eliminate smaller fish?
I like a jig that can both be swam for a reaction strike and dropped by cover like normal jig fishing. change the profile based on speed of the drop i want or needed to trigger the bite. If you believe there is a bass on a specific piece of cover they can be made to bite. could be on the third cast or maybe the 10th or 12th cast but usually though you need some variation of swimming that jig in order to make them bite. Old school guys used to say it was getting the right deflection or angle. I kind of think you are making them mad.
I leave the keitech swimbaits on my jigs and chatterbaits when I put them back in my boxes and they are fine. I store all of my plastics in a worm binder, and nothing has ever reacted with or leaked from those bags. Bass Pro brand is pretty cheap, and I've used them for years with no problems.
@@steve4321able Yes. I don't notice any difference if they get a little bent. Even used alone on a swimbait hook they run true. I smash everything in a worm binder. Shhh, don't tell Randy lol :) You could lay them in a box though, I've never had them react with any of my boxes or skirts.
I store plastics in ziplock sandwich bags and add garlic salt. Then I put the bags in a gallon ziplock bag. The garlic salt roughs up the surfaces and makes the slippery ones easier to handle. Not to mention adding more scent.
wow i get hammered for putting down this new tech to go out an find all my hard work i do the work an you reap the benefits an people really thinks thats fare to me AMAZES ME.I really wish this was like it was when it first started so we could all talk an debate the skill level of tournment fishing instead of riding to you find my hard work an catch the fish off of spots i made for jig fishing
look at Lake Murray without these debth finders you wouldnt find the cane piles that we put out to bass fish it takes hard work for me cut them down buy cement to put in buckets i have to buy an you get to fish them for no work at all amazes me really
@@hillbillybassfisherman8181 What you do to public waters becomes public. I’ll never get to fish those waters, but still, thank you and all who unselfishly put in the work to help the rest of us.
I hope you can take constructive criticism? I opened this vid up with hopes of seeing different Swim Jig set ups to provide me new ideas (swim jig W/Ribbon Tail) but I only was you & listened to 5-mins of talk, no pics or examples. This turns me off.
Does it say swim jig in the title? No, it doesn't. Reading comprehension, you should try it sometime. Usually when someone refers to jig fishing they are talking about fishing it on the bottom, either two pops of the rod or they're dragging it. Who pissed in your Cheerios?
Just like Lake Murray i cut the canes down i buy the buckets an cement take them put them out an new depth finders you get to reap the benefits of my hard work an people thinks nothing wrong with this.What i call down fall of america everyone wants something for nothing no work just reap the benefits
Since people probably won’t respect a No Trespassing buoy planted in their waters, here’s something else to try. Go to your church and ask God to forgive you for publicly griping about the public sharing an improvement you placed in the public’s waters.
