It's hard to keep fishing when you see them jumping around you but no bites... 1 check your jig, make sure it's not damaged and it's something the fish want. 2 keep your line tight it can hit at anytime. 3 be one with your bait. 4 don't give up!

fishing along the bank at the old honey hole about 10:30 I got my first hookup, it was a hen, a fighter, about 2 minutes into the fight it spat my jig out with a bent hook... somewhat disheartened I kept casting as close as I could to the middle of the river but by noon end up losing two more on different jigs... my friend nearby who already had two in the bag let me land one that was on his buzzbomb, good friends are hard to find. 1 pm I finally land my own hen, man she was a fighter and made the whole day worthwhile.

the fish are in there, doesn't hurt to thank God for the catch and say alittle prayer ;)

tight lines everyone!
