Jigs... Not just for crappie anymore

Figured I'd post a few pics of some of my fishing this year. All these fish were caught on my own jigs. As you notice, the 'crappie' pics are missing... cause i guess i suck at crappie fishing anymore. :( Most pics are from my local river that i fish 5 days a week from noon to 1:00, when the water levels let me. :D Enjoy...

This LMB is from my local smalltown reservoir....

These gills were from a different local res... not caught on my own tied jigs, Jiggin Joe's "gillotine" jig takes the credits here.

This white sucker was actually caught on my flyrod, but i have caught some on my spinning gear also... anything flashy with white feather/fur is their jig of choice. ;)

Man that is one strange array of fish you got there. I bet them small mouths were a lot of fun.

Oh yea,fun fun fun.

I like it! Good pics, and I agree with Skip, that is a wide variety of fish you've got there.

Good selection of fish. It's fun to catch different fish on your own jigs. Thanks for the pics.

Dang you are lucky. Bream Crappie and Largemouth Bass are about the only thing we get here. Would love to get in to some smallmouth. I would just about give a body part for a Walleye. Grass pike are the nearest thing to a northern pike we got. We do get alot of catfish but never caught one on a jig. Don't feel bad be happy some of us are jealious.

Looks like the jigs are a hit with everything in the water. I bet it was the expert tying job.

Yes, jigs are great -- the best artificial lure ever, IMO. They will catch anything in fresh or saltwater.

Glad you enjoyed the carp. I spent the weekend fishing for them on Lake Sinclair. They are incredible fighters!

Jigs are great for all types of fish. I love fishing with them.

Carp are awesome,especially on the UL.I caught 3 on my 5' fenwick fiberglass rod and 4lb test.
1. i snagged in the tail jiggin for walleyes in the river
2. caught on a 1/32 oz bucktail jig while crappie fishing
3. on a jig head with 2 mealies on it

Jigs catch everything!!!!!!!!!! That's why we love em!!!! Nice assortment of fish

Lewis jigs must be really good you prepare caught every specie of fish. There is way to go. We do catch a lot. Of catfish on our jigs and closer carp now and then. But you really got something going for you when you can catch a wide variety of fish like that. So keep up the good work and you definitely have a jig that they like.

Great pics, Attica!

That's what we saltwater fishermen call a "trashcan slam"!;)

If you're catching all of those fish on your jigs, you're not fishing where the Crappie are! If there were any Crappie around, they'd be in the pics too! If the fish are biting your jigs, but you aren't catching Crappie... you aren't fishin' where the Crappie are.

When you're Crappie fishin' and catchin' other fish, it means you have the right color combo... but the Crappie arent there. If the Crappie are there, you'll catch them along with everything else.

When I'm Crappie fishin' with the right colors, I'll catch Crappie and everything else!!! Bass, Catfish, Bluegill, Stripers, Drum, and anything else that's swimming around.

... but if I'm catchin' a lot of species and no Crappie, I know the Crappies aren't there and go looking elsewhere.

nice fish pics!i honestly love to catch different species on the same lures/jigs!catching catfish on surface baits is a riot lol! at this one lake me n my dad go alot,the special color is firetiger.you will catch just bout all types of fish on it.thing is,if i catch some nice sized bream,crappie,perch, ect,i'll bring them home.i like catchin "green trout/carp",but i'll use a bait thats the right size to catch panfish as well as bass so it will be possable to get everything.its awesome thrill to get a 1+ pound lmb on a 1/80 jig lol
