Jigging Techniques at the Berry or anywhere

[Kent]

My experience (although those who fished with me last Saturday justifiably figure I have no idea what I am doing up there -- and they would definitely be correct for at least that trip) is that ,for example, if the fish are holding at 25' down in 35' of water, often i can move to 25' of water and find them on the bottom. It is easier to catch fish if they are holding the bottom, because one can just quickly drop the jig to the bottom. Otherwise, I just watch my jig and fish on the fishfinder and drop to them, or figure out how far to reel up to them or look at my line counter (which I have on a few of my reels). I switch around some trying different colors; however, the color that seems to work most often are various shades of white. From now until it begins to cool some, except for really early and late when they can be found in really shallow water, most of the day they will be in water from about 30 to 45' deep with them moving deeper in the heat of the day.
