How To Use Ice Fishing Jigs

Your tackle box should contain the most essential of all lures – an Ice Fishing Jig. The proper jigging method for freshwater fish needs to be understood if you are going to catch some big fish situated in the northern lakes. If your jigging is all wrong you can expect little or no bites of fish, even if the area is busy.

When you use an Ice Fishing Jig an important thing to remember is that success all comes down to the movement of the lure, what bait you use on the jig and also the action you to use to attract fish to bite. Although it is optional, most ice fishermen like to use bait of one kind or another be it bait, larva, a maggot, prescented plastic bait or if there is no live bait available using bits of fresh or frozen minnow which works well.

Finding out the best jig action for attracting the fish is the next step. The Ice Fishing Jigs were designed particularly to imitate the movement of bait fish as it moves up and down in the water, around the level where fish are feeding. If you have a depth finder or a fish locator these will help you set the jig at the correct distance from the bottom up. You should then bounce the jig one or two feet off the bottom, pausing for about twenty to thirty seconds, then jig again. You should try different jigging rhythms until you find one that works, and then the fish will start feeding.

Another method for using the jig is “thrumming” where you move it side to side. You rapidly move the rod tip back and forth so that the jig moves horizontally. The lure will move about one to three inches sideways whilst at the same time bobbing up and down. For this motion, the ice fishing jigs that work best are contoured type or the hard bodied jigs with a baited hook.

To get depth control of jigs, using bobbers are very effective. If you have already landed a fish or got one to bite at a certain depth, you can then jig either side from before for about one or two feet so get maximum coverage of the area. You must stay with the allowance given for the number of lines on the body of water where you are fishing. There are distance regulations that you must follow if you are using tip-ups. Fishing regulations mostly specify that all your tip-ups must be in a clear line of vision for you to see them in the water.

For three years, journalist Richard Louv listened to America by going fishing with Americans. Doing what many of us dream of, he traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from trout waters east and west to bass waters north and south. Fly-Fishing for Sharks is the result of his journey, a portrait of America on the water, fishing rod in hand. To explore the cultures of fishing, Louv joined a bass tournament on Lake Erie and got a casting lesson from fly-fishing legend Joan Wulff He angled with corporate executives in Montana and fly-fished for sharks in California. He spent time with fishing-boat captains in Florida, the regulars who fish New York City’s Hudson River, and a river witch in Colorado. He teamed secrets of fishing and living from steelheaders in the Northwest, Bass’n Gals in Texas, and an ice-fisher in the North Woods. Along the way, he heard from one of Hemingway’s sons what it was like to fish with Papa and from Robert Kennedy, Jr., how fishing changed his fife. As he describes the eccentricities, obsessions, and tribulations of dedicated anglers, he also uncovers the values that unite them. He reveals the healing qualities of fishing, how it binds the generations, how the angling business has grown, and how the future of fishing is threatened. But most of all, Fly-Fishing for Sharks is about the unforgettable characters Louv meets on the water and the stories they tell. From them, Louv learns about our changing relationship with nature, about a hidden America — and about himself.

Great fishing in great settings with great people and great food, too! Where else can you catch tarpon, eat authentic jambalaya, and dance to zydeco, all in one day? This is the first, and definitive, guide to saltwater flyfishing in Louisiana–inshore, coastal, and offshore. This where-to, how-to guide’s coverage begins on the western edge of Cajun Country, in the Lake Charles region, and extends east to the Mississippi River Delta. Louisiana harbors an amazing range of fish: redfish, specks, flounder, tripletail, cobia, tarpon, crevalle jacks, and Spanish mackerel, even largemouth bass, and the author cues you in to what gear to bring, from rod to fly, and provides essential information on local guides; marinas; sporting goods; outfitters; suggestions for sightseeing on your fishing down time; accommodations, from motels to plantation beds; and venues for authentic regional good eating and music. Many of Louisiana’s year-round saltwater opportunities, both offshore and inshore, were developed in the past 10 years. In that time, there’s been a growth of fly fishing in the state, and catch-and-release has replaced the ice-chest as a measure of fishing success. Whether you’re sight-casting, blind-casting, surfcasting, or casting from your mud-boat, here’s your chance to hook into your biggest fish ever. Conventioneers and revelers alike in the Big Easy–pack your rod for your next trip, and get out and fish!
