Default Re: Need some advice on jigging lakers in rvr

no need for leadcore this time of year unless you are targeting lakers, all the bows and browns are up high in the water column. As for boards get offshore boards w the tattle flag kit you will never miss a strike, they are the only way to go, church tackle has boards similar now w a flag system.

when jigging deep u wanna use braid, you need to feel the bites and ticks of the bottom, mono/floro wont give you that in deep water. I also drift and jig, and also drift a few rods w fishfinder rigs right on bottom w shiners/herring the lakers hit those too. if you get some good marks you can definitely chum them and they go nuts, save your dead bait and cut them with scissors into 4 or 5 pieces and chum the water up wind and up current and jig the other side, they will rise 20-30 ft to hit a jig when fired up
