    Hitting the Sandy 3/4

    Hitting the Sandy 3/4

    Yea idk 1/2oz is big even for winters lol but idk man depends. If it's new water I'm fishing I try to fish for at least 30mins. Before I change anything.

    Hitting the Sandy 3/4

    Your welcome. But as soon as you can go to the store and down size your jigs man. I only use 1/2oz for twitching jigs for coho in the fall. Drift fishing IMO isn't as effective as bobber fishing. It takes awhile to get the technique and chances are 50/50 when you hook a fish drift fishing.

    What should I do with these suckers?

    Technically they are a non game fish, so you can do what you want with them. But what's the point in killing something that you aren't going to use in any way shape or form?

    I have a gauge for camping times.....what's yours

    Fish at sun up till the women gets up have her bring you breakfast, fish two more hours then throw sticks for the dog for an hour continue to fish till the women calls and says dinner is ready and the beer is cold. Start a fire drink beer throw sticks till the dog passes out (5hours later).

    Bobber doggin

    Agreed but I hand some steep river ledges that it was way nicer to bobber dog, then to try and drift fish 4ft in front of you
