My son and I hit the water this afternoon looking for open water fish. Took a while to find them but we managed 34 dead sticking 1/8th and 1/4th ounce jigs in 34-40 foot of water. They were pushing the shad up onto deep water flats. Probably caught just as many larger sandies as well. This is a great way to chase crappie in the winter time. I will post the jigs we used a little later and a few more pics of my son and his first fish on a jig he tied.

Sandie was the first fish my son has ever caught on a jig that he tied himself and the bass swallowed the jig all the way into its gullet. Have never witnessed that before.

Jigs of the day, B-52, Blue Ice, Rainbow Shad

Those sand bass really did some damage.

Good looking Jigs!!!
That boy will always remember that trip!!!
I"m just guessing Ray Roberts??

Awesome post and great memories! Congrats to your son
WTG dad!

I have tried to google the b-52 jigs and cannot find what you show here. Can you post a link?

Moss Lake, that bottom jig with a black head is magic on Alvarado JD.

Thanks!!!
I'll have to give that a try!

The smile says it all!!! He tied those Jigs?! Way to go young man!!!! Memories being made. Keep making those Jigs and the fish and memories are sure to follow.

Great catch
