Beginner...help!
Hi Guys
I'm 45 and tomorrow will be my first time casting anything other than a fly rod. I've been fly fishing, with great success, for a couple of years now. So I've been watching Youtube videos for a while and reading here (I'm so happy to be part of the digital revolution) and a lot of it makes sense now. I have to say this type of fishing is WAY more complicated than fly fishing, in my opinion, with the exception of casting. Almost everything I've watched and read has to do with Bass fishing so I'm just wondering how much of it is effective in our neck of the woods. I have a lot of questions but I'll start here:
Jigs seem to be popular here and I'm just wondering about the Skakey jig technique. While I was watching the videos I kept thinking to myself that if I were a fish there's no way I'd turn that down. So do you guys have success with this technique? Any tips you're willing to share? There's a lot of secrecy in the fly fishing world and I imagine it's the same here, but I'm offering bribes! ;-)
Thanks a lot guys and good fishing tomorrow if you're going.
