Thread: Took the gf fishing

Great day! I need to learn how to fish the brush. What's the best lure for this? There is a river here that has a lot of laydowns and brush on the shoreline. I usually cast around but would like to stop and jig some. Any pointers? Thanks for the pics!

use long pole and jig down slowly till you find where they are hanging, every opening on the tree or in pads. start outside first then move in, it's pretty simple and basic and productive. use weedless jigs if you have them, CB sliders are great for this fished weedless. also move away from limbs occasionally as fish could be suspended near cover but not in it.
