If you would like to catch a lot of small fish, use a 1/32 oz jig on 2 lb test fluorocarbon line. If the bottom is not covered with weeds or snags, let the lure hit bottom, then jig it in near the bottom. If there are weeds, jig the lure just above the weeds. Best fishing is after sundown or on cloudy days. After catching 60 fish Friday, I only caught 2 fish the next day. Sunny cold fronts are no good for ultralight jigging. Sometimes color is important. If you are not catching, change lures or colors.
