| damn I wanted to go to the Flounders tonight to the grouper seminar but I work in Bon Secour and that's 29 miles west and Flounders is 29 miles east Getting started with picking up some butterfly jigs, let's say we'll start in 100' to 125' to get a feel for it. What color and what weight? single hook or double hooks? where do you find the best prices?

Hey Sweetie - I read that two weeks ago waiting for a plane at PNS. That is a must read for folks - luckily we've caught all the fish in the GOM that would bite a jig....
OBTW - I killed the pogies this weekend, time to go chunking... remember this one:
http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=13656&posts=22 we need to head out pre-frost!
...as far as asking what Size and color and how and where to folks that are successful at jigging how about asking them if you can date their teen aged daughter?

| Have just gotten started in the jigging, Used the one below last week, got 3 Triggers and a small (28") cobia. Was just doing the mid water column, not trying for grouper, hoping for an AJ out on the Ft Walton liberty ship. Believe it was a Bass Pro brand i got this spring. 
Tried it yesterday on the bottom near a wreck and something big hit it, probably a grouper. I held on for 5 minutes before my line snapped, lost the fish and jig. Was using an old rod and not sure what test the line was. Heading out today to get some new line (100+ braid ?) and look for some more of these jigs. Lot of fun when a fish hits one.

| I have found that the Shimano or knockoff in blue and white is my # 1 and the green and white is my # 2. And for some strange reason the pink works best for snapper. I prefer the 160 gr and a little bigger if the current warrants it.
