How to fish a jig in timber

I explain and demonstrate the ABC's of fishing a jig in heavy timber! The rod ,reel and line complement as well as the proper pitching and flipping techniques are covered. Big bass are really bitting for it's April in Central Missouri and it's spawning season but the water is dark and I can't see them. I truly love the Ozarks in the spring and I've made that trip every year for 40 years!

Just sensational. Roland Martin. Genius. The original master. Roland, I just bought you book on patterns. And I just caught a 6lb and 7lb large mouth bass two weeks ago on my kayak. I did this with three 60k bass boats all fitted with superior electronic all around me. They caught 0. I only had my rods/reels (65 braid) rigged for the conditions: TARGETING big bass! Along with handwritten notes from Roland’s book! Lol!

I checked the topology of the lake, water temperature, wind direction, etc. I threw in timber/stick/weed areas no one was crazy/brave to cast in heavy timber. I saw the bass anglers around me shake their heads in obvious disappointment. One even trolled up to me mockingly inquiring “Why I was throwing into the heavy cover? I could never get a bass out of there.” I like people, so I didn’t take offense. I just shrugged and smiled politely I heard him mutter “Women fish like they drive, poorly.”. But I trusted the conditions, Rolands teachings and stuck with the pattern. Boom! Fish on! Heavy braid hauled that big bass right out! I did it a second time 4 cast later!

Those bass boats came crowding around me throwing like crazy in those trees, only to hook up with sub par strength lines and get broken off!! Or get caught on limbs losing tackle. They were cussing up a storm and eventually left. I then caught several more 3 pounders! Thank you Roland Martin!

Roland: I never thought I’d hear you say a negative thing about fishing, but pitch, pitch, pitch sounds like you may have had a bad day? Sorry I just couldn’t resist pun ishing the best bass fisherman alive. God Bless!

How many people can you watch and they CONTINUOUSLY say "watch this" and keep calling their strikes. Loved watching Roland with my father growing up, and he has definitely stood the test of time! Thanks for the tips!

Another outstanding presentation by the best bass fishing teacher in the business!

[clintperry]

What a great fisherman and a great pond.

[jacobwalkup]

Another great video. I love that you catch fish while you're giving us tips. I'm tired of other channels that just talk and catch maybe one fish the whole video. Makes me question their advice.

Sir, you, Bill, and Jimmy all helped forge my love of fishing and adventure. Watching you all Saturday mornings was a wonderful time in my youth and I learned so much. I'm older now and I'm still cherishing every lesson I can from you and the aforementioned. Tight lines!
