Life has been quite busy so this is likely the final kayak fishing trip of the 2023 open water season. I started the day off with a big bait in my hand chasing bass, but ultimately decided to switch down to an ultralight rod in pursuit of whatever was willing to bite. I was noticing some Bluegill activity in the shallow water, so I rigged up an ultralight double jig rig and started casting it around. Bam - literally caught one on the first cast!
The ultralight double jig rig can be a highly effective way to catch fish, and if things go your way, you may actually catch two on one cast. One of my favorite things about this rig is the fact that you can experiment with colors and determine what pattern the fish like best. On this day, it didn't surprise me that the more toned down black variety was the winner of the two I was using. The chartreuse worked fine too but the black just seemed to draw more, and bigger, bites.
I was using my Phenix Elixir 7'6 ultralight rod with a Shimano Sedona 1000 reel rigged up with 6lb Spro Finesse Braid to a 4lb Trilene Sensation leader. Both jigs were 1/64oz Mule Jigs, with the top one rigged with a Mule Minnow 1.2 and the bottom rigged with a Donkey Tail Jr. Overall, I was very pleased with this day of fishing :)
