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.
