Default Where do YOU fish a jig?

One of the biggest things I look forward to in the upcoming season is feeling the "thumb" of a bass slurping up a jig... seeing the line jump, and setting the hook into an immovable bass! Sounds nice don't it?

I've been reading the archived bassmaster magazines about jig fishing, and I see more pitching, and deep water structure fishing associated with jigs more then anything else! And being a shore angler, I don't have the luxury of cruising down a shore line pitching to laydowns, or setting up over a deep point and casting a football jig to big bass. I'll pitch a jig probably 10% of the time, and rest I'm casting it to cover! Something I havn't been reading much of, nor do I hear much of. Yet I catch some good numbers of darn nice bass, doing this. I also rarely use a jig over 3/8 oz and prefer a 1/4 oz jig in most scenarios, and I rarely see most people fishing jigs under 3/8 oz.

Am I the only one doing this? Anyone else cast a jig to places they would fish anything else like a texas rig worm, or spinnerbait? Thoroughly fishing my jig from the end of the cast to the tip of my rod in shallow, grassy water, with small boulders interspersed is how I caught most of my jig fish last year!
