If that jig head is made in America and of better quality than the import trash that has flooded our tackle market nowadays! I would pay that all day long!!!!!

An early season tactic often forgot about do to the large bait craze of modern day is the good ole’ sight fishing jig and plastic. This pattern of finding super shallow line of sight fish is most effective on colder water opener years, while every other boat beats the open water basin, i go super skinny and use my eyes to locate the big girls. using a Jacks Jig head and black reaper tail muskie size creeping it by gunning the reel and fast pauses not rod lifts will cause a instinctive strike feature. This tactic has put many big opener fish in my boat from Wisconsin to Northern Minnesota! Photo is Tom Dietz (The man who taught me this tactic) with an opening day sight fishing big one!

Congrats to Eric and Jason on 4/21, and Dean and Randy on 4/20 on their very impressive weights. It was my first time ever fishing pool 4, and what an awesome fishery it is! Also it was nice to have a chance to meet Brian K earlier in the week at Everts, what a nice guy he is.
