| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Jigs come in all sorts of shapes, colors, sizes, and even skirt materials. There are a bunch of different ways to fish them as well. However, to be able to catch them when the fishing is tough, you have to be very versatile. In this article, I will go through different ways of fishing jigs and I will begin to get you acquainted with this wonderful lure called a jig, in this little guide called “Jiggin’ It”.
Let me first give you a little bit of “background” about jigs. Jigs come made with many different kinds of materials. Just to name a few hair, tinsel and silicone. However, in this guide we will mostly be talking about silicone jigs. Silicone jigs are much easier too fish. Being that when they get wet, they become waterproof making them easier to slide through thick vegetation. To help aid the jig going through the thick milfoil some people use scent.
Jigs come in many different shapes and size, they even come with different shaped heads for different types of applications. They come made with a flipping, swimming, and even a stand-up type head. They also come in an array of different weight heads.
Jigs even come in countless colors and even different shades. It is best that when you first start out fishing a jig you should stick to basic colors. Some of the basic jig colors would include brown and orange, moss green and even black and blue.
When selecting a jig by its size you want to use as less weight as possible. Using less weight will give the jig a more realistic action and presentation. You also need less weight because bass will normally hit the jig when it is on the fall, and using less weight will help the jig fall slower. While we are talking about fall rate lets talk a little about jig trailers. Plastic trailers work great for cooler water, when the fish are more active. Jigs with pork are a deadly combination when the water temperature drops below 60. When you pick a trailer, you should keep in mind to match the trailer color to the color of the jigs skirt.
Now lets get into how to fish a jig. There are many different ways to fish them. One of the more popular ways to fish them is to do a hop and swim type retrieve. When you do this, you should make a long cast and then let the jig rest on the bottom for a few seconds, and then slowly lift your rod tip and let the jig fall back to the bottom. Then after a few hops you swim the jig a few feet, then begin to hop the jig again. This hop and swim method has produced greatly for many people all throughout the country.
Another way to fish a jig is to just hop the jig on the bottom or even drag it. However, one of the deadliest ways to fish a jig is to swim it close to the bottom or above a weed line. A seven-foot heavy action rod will give the jig enough action to entice big bass, be sure to pick a rod with a soft tip and enough backbone to horse the big boys out of the thick stuff.
The last technique I am going to cover is flipping and pitching. To do this you should flip the jig into weed pockets or into shoreline cover. When you do this, a good choice is a seven and a half foot heavy action rod and thirty-five pound monofilament. The heavy action rod will be stout enough to pull a five pound bass out the roughest spots you can flip your jig into.
This is just a little guide on how to fish a jig. If you experiment with different ways to fish them and you find out which technique the bass wants, you will have a killer day out on the water!

It was a week of wild swings in the fishing as the blue water was being moved over wide ranges by strong afternoon northwest winds. There were some great days followed by some totally off days during the week. Angler, Hotoshi Doi , fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Marfel', landed 2 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO in tow days of fishing. Angler, Weldon Doe, fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Moramay', landed 1 SAILFISH and 1 TUNA in two days of fishing. Top single day offshore was turned in by Holland angler, Mr. Schouten, landing 8 Sailfish while fishing with Capt. Adolopho on the Dos Hermanos I. French angler, Nicoloas Guy landed 3 SAILFISH and 1 monster ROOSTERFISH while fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos II with Capt. Jose Diaz. Mark Peterson and friends from North Oaks, MN, total numbers for four days of fishing included 14 SAILFISH, 3 DORADO, 2 MARLIN, 4 TUNA, and several BONITOS.
The MARLIN weighed in at 280lbs. and 200lbs. According to Mark 'the worst part
of the trip is that he lost 2 MARLIN within five minutes of one another on the
last afternoon.' Returning angler from Holland, Guido Gylen, fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos I landed 8 ROOSTERFISH to 60lbs. along with 8 JACKS in on day of fishing. Retuning Milwaukee angler, Ray Brill and wife Bobbi, landed 5 SAILFISH in three offshore days and 3 ROOSTERFISH and 6 JACKS in one inshore day. The largest ROOSTERFISH was landed by Bobbi and scaled close to the 80lb. mark. Angler, Mr. Cornell, fishing aboard the Vamonos II landed 4 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO in two days of fishing. The cameras of CABELAS OUTDOOR ADVENTURE seen on OLN captured some of the action as Human Resources Director, Larry Hire, and Pro Staff Guide, Mark Maus landed both SAILFISH and ROOSTERFISH up to 65lbs. At the beginning of the week the blue water was within 3 miles but moved out to over 25 miles only to return back again to the 3 mile mark by week's end. Huge schools of porpoises are found along all the beaches chasing SARDINES but the TUNA have moved offshore.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanjeo Climate: Hazy, hot, and humid with strong afternoon winds.
Sea Conditions: calm mornings followed by increasing waves in the afternoons.
Bait Supply: Fair
