I got schooled! Whitie smashfest!

[steverowbotham]

Holy crap did I ever eat some humble pie last week.  I pride myself on staying humble and keeping an open mind when it comes to fishing.  I feel that closed-mindedness will only get you left in the dust.  So last week, when Tom from Fatal Force Outfitters stopped by my hut to offer some tips, I was open ears.  I couldnt have imagined what came next... insanity. What a game changer!

Great video, hard to find these meegs jigs online, damn.

[AKRISONER]

im really interested in what it was specifically that you changed technique wise to bring you so much success...unreal vid.

[floater]

Now a video on the technique please! I'm in the same boat. Been trying the original meegs and never got a fish on them.

Meegs has been the number one fish getter on Simcoe and many other lakes for years.

Imitations just don't quite cut the mustard.  

Exactly. James does great detailing as far as the body goes.

 

 

Guys, if you watch the video again, you will see the way to fish it. And if you know goby patterns, then you should know how the jig is fished. Big hint. They dont have bladders,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Steve that was insane dude.

[Tomcat]

Great videos - thanks. One question please. I don't ice fish nor have I ever fished Lake Simcoe. Do you guys ever keep whities or lakers and if so, how do you select the ones you will keep?

Man does this ever give me the itch. A few vids I have seen online and I'm starting to think of what I may be doing wrong. 

Gotta love when the action is non-stop like that. Great vid.

The jig itself has aspect to it that others, do not.  Not just pattern. 

"Pattern" was wrong word I take it SIR. LOL

Nicely done....looked like fun

[Out4Trout]

Awesome video - the small things can sure make a big difference!!

 

[PUMP KNOWS]

Awesome vid.  I tried my luck last week but I couldn't get them to bite.  I think I was over working the meegs.  I hope to get out again before the ice melts.

Steve, what are you tipping the Meegs with?  Looks like a small tube jig of some sort?

Crappie sized tubes . 2" or so

[BillM]

Lucky I've got a million of those    Now just to find a few Meegs.  Surprised I don't have any in my ice box to be honest.

[Sinker]

Great video. I was really surprised you didn't know how to work that jig right. I thought of all people, you would know the trick to make it catch fish. They are a real fish magnet. I don't hit the lake without one rigged. I have hundreds of dollars worth of them in my box. They catch every kind of fish too, not just whities and lakers. I even use them on open water for vertical jigging all kinds of fish.
