Video - Jigging in My New(ish) Boat

[Pete Collin]

I had a really great day on LO.  They were just in a mood to bite, and I was there to partake.  Great boating conditions.  I even caught a chinook salmon (only the second time I ever jigged one!)  It was about 10 pounds, but got no pictures of it.  Here's what footage I did manage to get with my cheap cameras.

Fantastic, that’s a great outing.   I always enjoy your jigging videos and even tried it once so far with staging kings but no luck.

I see blips up high all the time (that must be salmon or browns or steelhead), even jumpers at the surface, but they rarely show interest in a jig for some reason.

Are you targeting fish on the bottom then?

2 oz jigginig spoons work, I like to go up to 1 1/2 oz leadhead jigs to get down quickly and counter wind and currents.  Any plastic body works.  I have a few other jigging videos on my youtube channel that are more instructive than this video.
