Good post.

I came into a stash of jigs this year. A freind of my grandfathers who swears by them and makes them gave me a bunch. I plan on giving them a good try.

He doesnt use any tail or pork rind... Is it preference or does it make a big difference?

I went down to the Canal Sunday night mostly to try my new rod. I was surprised to see herring running up the creek near the traffic light on the main land side. Anyway I thought their were no stripers untill i saw one over 30' long swim right in front of me. unfortunatley my efforts were fruitless. The spot should heat up in days not weeks.

OKAY SORRY guys a "thirty inch" striped bass swam in front of me, I didn't think this site was so gramatically correct, i'llnever make the mistake again

Its too bad I almost fell off the seaweed covered rock I was on when I saw it. My canal fishing ability isn't quite there yet but you have to start some where.
