Any tips on how best to jig em?
Get low and use a long jig pole like a Trident or Phantom 13' :biggrin
Fish on bottom pick it about a foot
Long pole, start off by pitching/ swinging from a distance, if they don’t hit , move closer. I pull the jig to my rod tip and poke it between the limbs where possible and let it down by the trunk. Hang on , it gets wild sometimes!
Probably my favorite way to fish.

What he said :hesaid
Think about the drip line of the tree. Branches always fall down farther away from the trunk of the tree; there is cover for them to be around all under the branches. Start out a little ways out and work your way in. You’ll be surprised by how many are what some might think is too far out from the base of the tree.
I've done the pull the jig to the eye and poke the pole into any opening in the limbs that I can find but prefer to flip just like bass fishing if I can get them to bite that way.
I wish I was out there with you. I have fished very little this year. Having my rotator cuff worked on Thursday and am told I'll be in a sling for 6 weeks minimum.
Dang you must be going through :fish withdrawals . Hope your surgery does good . :prayQuote:

typing left handed sucks. I'd go fish in an aquarium if I could get away with it. Only been 3 days and I fear I might OD on TV. At least the wife is making some baked lemon pepper crappie for supper tonight. Go hit my brush piles mack. You might as well catch them instead of them dying of old age waiting for me to get back after them. Thanks for the kind words guys.
