    Default Broke in my jigs


    Well the ice left this morning at Piney Bay and I caught my first 2 crappers on my handmade jigs. Twas a good feeling. That was the only 2 though. water was 35 degrees and they weren't very active or just wasn't at home. I lost 5 jigs so that gives me an excuse to tie some more. To me the hair jigs looked the best in the water but I cought the 2 on marabou. I guess they know more than I do...Ray

    Way to go, Ray!! Wasn't long ago that I caught the first fish on my own first tie. Yes sir, it's a good feeling. And he swam in crisco not long after, full circle.

    I was afraid my two were tainted with some kind of mind altering drugs or maybe metally challanged so I relesed them.
