This video is another step in the jig fishing series. An often overlooked and incredibly product approach to jig fishing is to punch heavy cover. Most people think heavy weights and texas rigged plastics when they hear the word “punch” but me, I look for my heavy jig box. Give it a try!
Due to overwhelming feedback in the past week we have decided to do a series on fishing jigs in a variety of conditions. This will be the first of quite a few videos and should serve as a reference as we talk about a variety of applications in the near future.
Catching big bass is one of my passions in life. Most West Coast fisherman look to the swimbait for big bass but in truth, many of mine come on the jig. Day in and day out you can’t beat a properly presented jig.
Throughout my years of jig fishing I have fine tuned my techniques to what I would like to consider an art. I truly believe that paying attention to a few key details is the difference between catching jig fish and catching BIG jig fish on a CONSISTANT basis!
This video is the beginning of a series on fishing jigs in a variety of conditions. Please provide feedback on any jig related questions you have so that I can cover them in future videos.
I had the pleasure of spending a day on the water with Justin VonSpreckelsen. Justin, while not an amateur to bass fishing, confided that he was quite new to the technique known as “punching”. While some would see this as a negative, I saw a golden opportunity for some unbiased information! Justin isn’t a novice anymore. He endured tough conditions and put in a full day punching the tidal waters of California’s delta. When the day was coming to an end he sat down in front of the camera and explained his experience with the 3 most commonly used punching methods.
I hope you find this information useful! Personally, I have a huge bias to the punch jig. I love the hookup to land ratio and the lack of maintenance it requires throughout the day. However, that isn’t what this site is about. You just got an unbiased viewpoint from a man with a keen understanding of punching heavy vegetation.
