3/15/2010 8:15:00 AMThe jigs are 1-11/4" long .I use a 9ft pole with 4lb line and cast to 30ft but most of the hits are averaging 15-to 20ft out as the depth drops off very fast starting about 15ft out. the trout cruise this ridge around the lake.

3/15/2010 11:00:00 AMDepending on hook size, I am guessing the 1/80 jig head to be 3/4 of an inch long? So, if you get hits but no hook up's do you shorten the tail or length of marabou? Do you ever float on Myron? Thanks for sharing.

3/15/2010 6:51:00 PMhad to short'n one last week as they were really taking it lite and was able to get three but that was a smaller 100th oz jig. I usually fish from shore as i do not have that much time to hall a float around. i do however put on some heavy waders to get an extra few feet out. most every one else are fishing with a float and or spinners but i usually catch more with what i do and i'm fish'n with differnt colors than most. white, pink, chartr, flash. or a combo of them. something that they are not seeing right now. other than the power bait that i'm seeing alot of floating in the water.
