Jigging Fluke Fast drift?
Very fast drift in the bay recently with the wind and the tide in the same direction. I am having a tough time keeping the jig on the bottom. Tried up to 6 oz but instead of straight up and down I keep having to let out line. I am using braid and although I am catching some fish I feel I can be doing better if I was holding the bottom better. Any tips or advice? Thx in advance.

Re: Jigging Fluke Fast drift?
best bet is to cast up (up current) and out (away from boat). work the bucktail back to the boat and then let out line as you drift past the bucktail. once you are too far out reel in and repeat. alot of work but you gotta keep at it or find different area with more favorable conditions.

Re: Jigging Fluke Fast drift?
You need to cast way up current and work the jig back to the boat. That will give you more time to have your jig in the strike zone. Once it starts to scope out to far as the boat is drifting in opposite direction you reel up and do it all over again
Good luck

Letting line isnt a bad thing. It catches fish that way. Letting the line out till the jig scopes out and holds bottom. But casting up current then working it back works
