Punching Heavy Cover with Jigs - Hatcam Video
Went out this past weekend to try to get some topwater action. The topwater bite wasn't as good as we were hoping, with many of the fish just coming out and hitting the frogs without really taking them down. The fish were there, so I decided to punch through the cover with a 3/4 oz football jig with a Yum money craw trailer. The decision turned out to be a good one and I ending up sticking some good bass. This is a really fun and effective technique I'm just starting to use. I'm sure the more I do it the better I'll get. It's just hard to believe you can actually stick fish doing it! Here's the video:

It's a fun technique and you can catch some quality fish doing it but you have to have the right gear. Starting with the trolling motor.

Ill be trying this from teh bank... in the spring, the lake i bank fish develops matted grass out to about 4ft deep water and stretches 12-15 feet out from teh dry bank... makes it hard to bank fish in teh spring... but i am gonna give this a shot in addition to surface frogs...

Nice video!
I see you're using a Mojo Bass, which one are you using and how do you like it as far as sensitivity goes? |

Thats definately a great technique. One I often go to especially on sunny hot days. Liked the video. That hat cam is a pretty nifty thing.
