I fished on a small PB yesterday, all but a couple of us were jigging. Those jigging outfished us for sure, boat was drifting all day, it only got difficult once the wind picked up. Most were putting a small piece of squid or clam on the jig. Time to up the game for me I think and get a handle on jigging.

Jigs with Squid/Clams??..Thats bait fishing...
The jig was just a sinker in that case, if they were baiting the hooks.. The reason those guys were outfishing you was most likely because the schools of sea bass were suspended and not relating to bottom structure.. It happens a LOT.. They suspend and relate to moving shoals of baitfish, typically sand eels in our area, and are often only 20 feet below the boat even in say 60 FOW...In that type of scenario, bottom bouncing is often not the most productive option. The guys with jigs on were probably in the zone where the most fish were located,, OFF the sea floor.... bob
