Ditch Jigger? how's about Ditch Doctor?? THANK YOU SIR, for sharing
yer phd, crash course seminar, and helping me to toss out some stinkin' thinkin' that was beginning to arise!! i feel very equipped, now, between the ears and between the hands,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i just need to spend time between the tides, the poles, and the currents to make it my OWN!!!

saltheart~~~
ahhhhh the intricacies and vaugeries of jigging; extrapolated exponentially! EXCELLENT READ!!!
thanks a million for painting the picture of the bottom. i loved the phases of jigger developement, the relationships between jig and line, arc and current direction, and how BOTH relate to the ledges, rips, eddys, and the swirls that comprise the challenges of the Canal was vintage stuff!!!

NIB~~~
honorable mention for your own brand of knowledge and yer unique style of delivery that never gets old,,,,,,,,,,,,great info and technique. thanks for sharing, m'man! even though it was awhile ago, it still applies.

ALL in ALL~~~~
my gratitude seems shallow for the way to express my
appreciation for ALL of the ABOVE's input and knowledge.
i knew that this was the PLACE, and that you guys would deliver
the good, the bad, and the ugly well over and above what i could ever ask for!!!
gottsta LUV this site for that, and i cain't wait to hit the Canal again and begin my Ditch Life

Pm me when you get the hall pass. All these online tutorials are great, but get someone to show you the ropes live and in person. Life's too short for trying to learn the place yourself unless you live nearby and can fish 5,6,7 days a week.

Where were you last night when I needed you?

East west ? today end of west ,, Turn nada,, east nada .. tomorrow who knows . I like the current turns closest to low tide (not the same). thats a start ..
