I would appreciate any helpful insight on jig fishing- (beau-mac) colors and sizes to use, correct depths, water, etc.

I'm a drifter, have tried it a few times w/ sliding bobber and chartreuse beau-mac but I'm not 'converted' yet. My uncle is a realitive neophyte and wants to go this week. I figure a jig and bobber is a good way for him to start.

P/S - can they be tipped effectively w/ bait?

Thanks in advance.
