The secret weapon for the ditch--skin jigs

[Saltheart]

Now is the time to use your skin jigs at theditch if you have them. They are not so secret anymore but the guys who fish the ditch a lot will tell you that an eelskin jig is a pretty good weapon right now.

here's a tip , this time of year , rig the skins short. later on you will rig them full length but right now , rig them short so the whole thing is about as long as a blueback.

Also , drift the skin jigs , don't back bounce them like you would do with rubber.

good luck!
