What gives ??? 4/26

I've noticed that presentation is a big deal. Your right the wind speed on saturday was strong. We used two drift socks and could not get as slow as we wanted. The result, we changed how we jigged. We always, always kept our line tight, and just barly popped the jig off the bottom. Keeping with in 2" of the bottom at all times. Seemed to really do the trick. Came off the lake with 8 eye's.
If you didn't have a drift socks or 5 gallon buckets you were sunk on saturday. The other good rule of thumb is, keep a 45 degree angle if your line get's out past that say 60 or 70 degree's your drift speed is to fast and you have to adjust your jig speed or throw off the other side like stated before.
Good Luck

Throw your jig down wind on an angle and twitch your rod and reel a turn, twitch and reel a turn until it is just short of parellel. Then just twitch, twitch, twitch-- moving your jig minimally for the last 20 yards of the drift. Once a gets past 1 O'Clock reel it in and pitch again. It keeps the jig basically in the same spot through the entire drift. Aggitates them well somedays. And sometimes when ya twitch--they twitch back--fish on
