This week on Extreme Angler TV- Born to throw the Jig

Posted On January 10, 2013


This week on Extreme Angler TV, its early summer in southern Ontario and Bass season is a mere two weeks old and the bass are still very near their spawning locations and fairly easy to locate and catch.With so many different options of baits and presentations to use over the course of the season, I wanted to use a bait or combination of baits and a presentation that targeted bigger bass and put the bait right on their dinner plate.

That bait is non other than the good old flippin` jig and chunk trailer.

Fans of the show know I live to throw the jig into some of the nastiest natural and manmade cover I can find, but on this show, since it is early in the season and the fish have not been pounded to near death in the "easy locations", I`m fishing the high potential locations most anglers fish, docks, sunken structure, trees, and bushes.

Sometimes its just fun to pick up your favorite rod & reel combination, tie on a bait that you have a lot of confidence in and just "go fishing"! Thats exactly what I did on this day and managed to locate and set hook into some nice scrappy largemouth bass hiding in the most obvious locations.

The show is jam packed with useful information on what equipment to use, how to fish it and where to find them. I`m sure you`ll enjoy every minute of the heavy duty hooksets!
Thanks again for watching.
