I Need a Longer

Pole!! But more on that momentarily. I found the color and it was blue ice today. I came home with 16 keepers caught over 3.5 hrs. A new personal best.

The air was crisp as I launched at 0800. Quick hop to a nearby dock with lots of slips. Double jig rigged and long pole equipped, I sling the ol jigs out over the 15 foot wide dock into nearby slip. If witnessed by other fisherman the reaction is usually one of bewilderment. The fun ensued. Talking about kaboom, bent hooks and all.

Running 8lb test and 1/16 jigs. Seems to be a good balance when ran in tandem such as a double jig rig. At one point a bottom jig snapped off, I cut it flush and caught several with the remaining single jig.

Final thoughts are I need a longer pole to reach the next slip down and some creative method of delivering the jigs to said slip haha. Hard to sling em out 25 feet with the 11 footer [emoji3]. I used the g sauce on them and the stuff works! I am a big fan, really. Slab sauce for the win.

Good luck to all and God Bless!

Good job. Think I might try a double jig setup on one of my poles tomorrow.

Nice mess of fish!
We used to run double jigs all the time.
Need to try it again.

A 12' rod that's NOT a noodle works.....
Nice catches.....

A 12' rod that's NOT a broom stick also works for me......

on the lake you hit our preference is a stout 6 footer and an accurate cast or shot as they call that there dock shooting thing .
it is about time to hit them docks over there for sure , one of them is just the BEST I have ever hit once the water chills a bit .:highfive

Thanks Ketchn! Yes I do need to improve on my dock shooting technique. There has been a time or two I’m jigging a slip and someone goes bananas over it lol! I think if I could master that it would negate the need for a longer pole no doubt! I’ve got a nice 6.5 ft rod I need to practice with.

My favorite spot is between to tube and the motor on a pontoon boat in the slip. That opening is about the size of a rectangular kitchen garbage can. That also makes a good practice target. I also used a 5 gallon bucket with the bottom cut out of it for practice. That teaches ya to shoot thru the opening and back up under the dock where the big ones are. A coffee can works if you want a challenge

Along the tubes both inside and outside.
Spiderwebs are your friends, means the boat has been there for a while. As well as algae on the tubes.
