What is...........

[JPowers]

Canal jigging. In the fastest current, in the deepest water with as much line off the reel as possible. Not because that's where the fish neccessarily are, but because that's where/how it's the most challenging to catch them.

Canal jigging can wreck your gear and wreck you, but DAMN it's fun.

And BTW, the jig guys are some funny dudes to hang with.

Bassturbation - you are cordially invited to show a little bit of class when posting on this site. Yes, our standards are low at times but we do have them - please keep that in mind... (Especially during selection of an avatar)

Flap - yes, you were a little "uptight" when flyfishing ...

I think all methods are good - each leaves a lesson that impacts and can improve another method. Though I don't chunk, the base thought of a chunk of bait, smell, should be high on the list when fishing artificials, like with bunker oil. Fishing an eel inspiring many jointed needles and swimming plugs.

Everything can blend into everything and make us better anglers...

I love the bump on an eel, the explosion on a spook at first light, and the pickup and peel of a live bait...

I enjoy throwing my homemade plugs the most, especially topwater stuff at sunset..

At night I like swimmers in swift currents, I also like to throw tins or jigs w/ oily porktails. . . I cant leave out scented sluggos/plastic either

what are the saltwater equivalents of jerk baits?

Talk about strength training. That's big gear and heavy lifting but the proof is in the pudding and knowing Slip as well as I do and seeing the results that is a fishery to be considered. Not for the faint of heart.

I have sat up above a couple times and watched the proceedings. I would have to go to the gym for a month or two or maybe a stint at Parris Island in fat bodies would get me ready. Good stuff though and it is a funny crowd too.

Top water is where it's for me.

I love live bait, seeing the baitfish try to fly does it for me
