Honestly, I've tried jig-n-pig here and there with no success (shore fishing) and it's true I get mostly weeds. The weeds are actually at the bottom half of the lake mixed with some alge and thick throughout the lake.
Could you guys provide an image of your typical jig set-up?
Addison, I think its important that you have the right rod setup for jigging through weed.
Here's my setups:
7' 1" Heavy action w/40lb braided power pro for jigs 5/8 - 1oz
7' 3" Med-Heavy action w/30lb braided, power pro for jigs 1/8 - 1/4oz
