Vertical Jigging

Great tips.

Although why wouldnt you use a light weight hook, that way when it gets hung up you can pull it straight and free? Then bend it back into shape and continue fishing.

I use light line, more bites and sinks faster. I for sure don't want to move the brush and spook the fish.

I too use light line- 4 pound, and a thin hook. This way the hook straightens out most of the time and I dont lose anything or move the brush pile.

I use vertical jigging in water over 10 feet and when there is chop on the water. I use 1/32 to 1/8 oz jig depending on the depth and wind. They will jus suck the bait in so sensitive line and rod is important. I use both plastics and live minnows. Colors vary. On thing I used this year with success is Jigging Shad Raps that you would normally use when ice fishing . jut drop it over the side of the boat into a school and jig it to make it dance. lots of fun this way.
