Thanks for the encouragement, guys. Perhaps I was just in a bad spot. It was just that there was such a nice rip right there, it seemed like the place to be. I was okay if I used a light jig and kept it up off the bottom, but that got me some very short casts. As soon as I went to the 1-1 1/2 oz Megabait bucktail or such, I was hitting bottom, snagging up and eventually snapping off. The thing I can't understand is that I read on the other sight of guys using 3, 4, 5 oz jigs. I would think they would sink like a stone. Couldn't tell what the guys on either side of me were using, but lots of times they would cast out, wait 30 seconds or so and then start jigging in, and not getting snagged. ??? The guy to my right was really heaving it, almost halfway across, so he definately didn't have on less than an ounce.
Well, maybe at the tourney next weekend I can become less of a rookie.
