Okay,
I got up this morning at about 5am and decided to go fishing before I went to work. On the way to the river I stopped at Monte Square and bought some jigs 'cause I wanted to try fishing that method. Anyway, I didn't know which colors to buy, so I just picked the pretty ones. Really.
I get to the river at about 6am and headed up to my new favorite little hole. I tied on one of teh jigs, added some shrimp scent, and started casting. On my second cast ever with a jig, WHAMMO! A short fight later, I brought a nice 10lb native buck to the shore, took a pic of him in the water, gave the jig a shake, which was lodged right at the kipe in his upper jaw, and away he went. Woohoo! Broke my jig cherry.
I moved down a little bit to hit another hole, and this time I switched to my egg rod. First cast in the slot, and WHAMMO! Fish on. Another short fight and in comes another native, this one a hen of similar size. She was also hooked in the roof of her mouth, just at the nose.
I have had a big grin on my face all day thinking about the two fish I was blessed with this morning. I highly suggest it, to those who can.
I'll post pictures after I get home.
Andy

Response version 1.3.8:
Damn, that's the way to start work. Better than the other "best thing to do before you go to work", I'd say.
Of course I'm speaking of going to Denny's for one of their skillet breakfasts.

Damn, and I was getting ready to post a conspiracy thread about it.

On second thought...nahhhh 
I can't wait 'till the day I get f*cked (speaking figuratively). Hope the board is still up and running in 40 years. 
Course I guess it's my own fault since I haven't tried jigs that much. Maybe this summer, or next winter? Anyway, go get some more Dogfish!
