As the title of my post reads I'm coming to fish the reefs for the first time. I have been reading this forum for a couple of years and the reports are way better than where I'm from. I have bought a selection of hair jigs and just about every other lure. I just hope I have everything I need. Should I tip my jigs with a minnow? Do you guys use Berkley alive? I'm a Detroit river guy so I'm not sure how to fish the reefs yet. Any advice will help me. Is it vertical jigging like river jigging? I need help I guess.. thanks to anyone that replies.
