Thread: Rooty Tooty jigs on Broadwater

But on the trip out, I came across a couple of fellas in a john boat moving along the creek with a couple of rods sticking up with Rooty Tooty jigs tied on! I wish I could have stopped to talk but was loaded on the way out headed home...

I hope they caught a mess on such a fine day!

I need some more jigs, but cant find the website, anyone know how I can get up with the jig maker?

Merry Christmas to all!!

Not a finer place to be than Broadwater Swamp, especially on a crisp December morn.

My son was down there from the 14th thru the 18th camping and fishing. He had the limit every day before 11 and 12. I was able to go Tuesday and also had a limit by 11. He said that there were few people fishing but most everyone was doing well with the fish.

I just finished camping / fishing in broadwater (Dec 13-18). Had a Great time, I love camping in broadwater.
It got 27degrees on monday night, (I had to run my old coleman tent heater wide open).
I was able to find the fish / (4 days of fishing) = 80 fish. They hit minnows and jigs.
I never found a lot in one whole but found them scattered around every deep whole / turn.


While walking thru the woods, found the work of a red-headed woodpecker

found a "DEN" of some kind(fox or raccoon?)

you got to Go with us one Day!

in your live well shot ? what kind of fish is the long one in the lower corner?
thanks for the report and pics

well maybe that is a cooler or dead well shot

Looks like you had a great trip. Thanks for posting the pics, nice catch.

The long fish in the box is commonly called a jack or jack fish. It is a Chain Pickerel, a smaller cousin of the Northern Pike and Musky. I would love to spend a few days in Broadwater, but I got rid of most of my camping gear. All I have left is a sleeping bag and some Coleman stuff, and the 800 number for Holiday Inn.
