Eyecrazy, I was in the same area this morning, didn't do well at first. Moved into shallower water 11 to 13' between Crane Creek and Turtle Point, used 2 driftsocks. The only thing that caught fish was purple hair jig 5/8 oz. purple/green hair w/green glitter strands. Only had one jig like that,until a monster sheephead broke the hook. I got my 6,1 perch,2 sheephead. Friend that fished with me, used every jig in the box...and nothing. I stopped and picked up a few more jigs for sunday morning. I was slow hopping less than a foot off the bottom.

Dew drop, I know that's why it's called fishing not catching. I understand you don't always catch fish, but when I consistantly get skunked when jigging I just try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I will try that quick snap and keep pressure on the way back down, I haven't done that. Also, do you guys always keep the jig vertical or do you ever cast out and drag it back? I keep it to where I can feel it hit the bottom with every bounce. Thanks for all your input guys.
